Cretan raki 🇬🇷 Explore Greece: tasteatlas.com/greece In Crete, tsikoudia is a pure grape spirit made in a copper still called a kazani. It comes from fermented grape pomace and has a clear, strong taste, without anise. The distillation, known as kazanema, brings families and neighbors together to drink, eat, and enjoy music while the spirit slowly runs. It remains one of the island’s most cherished traditions.

Most visitors never see how real Cretan raki is made. Hidden in the villages of South Crete, the kazani still burns with wood fire, copper pots and hands that know the process by heart. In Magarikari, this ritual returns every autumn — not as production, but as gathering, food, stories and shared glasses. Don’t miss how authentic Cretan raki is really made.
