The rakomelo, on the other hand, is island’s famous traditional beverage that you will be treated at the Monastery of Chozoviotissa. These drinks in conjunction with pasteli, are consumed in every feast, wedding, dancing, and gatherings all over the island!
Psimeni raki annual festival Katapola
If you visit the island on July 26th, you will drink it at the “Psimeni Raki” feast organized annually at the picturesque port of Katapola. Although the recipe seems to be simple, however, the visitor may find some variations and can be confused with the flavor and aroma of it!
The variations lie mainly in the dosage of mixture – honey (or sugar), cinnamon and other ingredients during its preparation.
You may taste it in our suggested restaurants of Amorgos during meals or as aperitif!
Psimeni raki as a local traditional drink, is a part of the "gastronomic map" of the island.
Rakomelo Amorgos
