The distillery

It was in 1896 when Efstratios Samaras relocated his distillery from Prussa, Asia Minor and opened it in Papados, Gera. Ever since, Mytilene has been enveloped in aromas and sensations. He was an expert in the art of distillation and produced ouzo of unique quality which soon acquired loyal friends.

Nowadays, the fourth generation of distillers still upholds the family tradition with the proper respect, remaining faithful to its founder’s principles and values in producing the famous Samara Ouzo of Mytilene. The Samara Distillery fully conforms to the current legislation and hygiene regulations, possessing modern technological equipment and a sense of responsibility towards consumers, while it remains unspoilt through time.
