The Idyosmos company is the family business of Antonis and Giannis Papagiannakis based in Pervolakia, Kissamos. It all started by their Grandfather, when, after the end of the Second World War, exploiting his property in olive trees, he bought an oil mill in his birthplace, Pervolakia, Kissamos. At the same time, he never stopped producing tsikoudia.
Emmanuel Papagiannakis, father of the owners, took over the family business and kept it in hight standards
Since he was a boy, he has been involved in the fields, the tsikoudia making process and the oil mill of his family under the guidance of his father. In the 90’s he began to invest and expand the number of olive trees that were in his possession and at the same time he transmits his knowledge and love for the land to his sons Antonis and Giannis.
Today the children of Emmanuel Papagiannakis, Antonis and Giannis, have took over the business. At the beginning of 2000 they’ve renovated the oil mill they inherited from their father, equipping it with state-of-the-art machinery. At the same time, not only they evolved the tsikoudia making process, but they also invested in honey by buying their first beehives. With respect to the knowledge that their father passed on to them from young children, and with the weapon of modern technology, they continuously develop the quality of their products every day.
