January 5, 2023
We had the chance to witness how Kitron liquor is produced first-hand! The family was so helpful and glad to answer all our enquiries. After tasting all variants (it comes in three different colours and alcohol volumes) we were a bit tipsy but thank goodness zastours.com had also taken care of our transfer on a beautiful SUV.
