Tsipouro is an alcoholic beverage, that is the product of the distillation of the marc, that is, the remnants of the grapes after the process of the extraction of the must for the production of wine.

Various regions in Greece from Thessaly to Epirus and Macedonia, and from the Aegean islands to the island of Crete, have a long tradition in the production of tsipouro. Note that the name tsipouro is a geographical indication for the distillate in mainland Greece, while the corresponding geographical indication for Crete and the Aegean islands is tsikoudia.

In Thrace, the tsipouro of  Iasmos is famous; it is produced from grapes from the vineyards of the area, with special aromas. Its aroma, however, is due to the use of anise during the second round of distillation. In recent years, the tsipouro festival organized by the municipality of Iasmos is a special event and a chance for visitors to get acquainted with the process of tsipouro production, and to enjoy the local delicacies and products. Every fall, another popular festival is organized on the seaside of Nea Peramos with tsipouro and local delicacies.
