Roubou

Preveza


Established in 1949 by a family from Lesvos, this distillery and shop has barely changed since. Its fan-cooled interior is a dreamworld of grey-and-white barrels and orderly shelves of ouzo. You can also buy ouzo 'loose', by the litre, direct from the barrels, and you may be able to peek at the still set-up next door.
