A mouthful of Naxos

As you probably know already, gastronomy is a huge chapter in the Greek tradition. Starting from the ancient times up until today’s Greece, food has always been a factor of good health, a token of love, a means of pleasure, representing so much more than just a necessity.

In the mostly dry and arid climate of the Cyclades, Naxos presents a big exception as well as a big surprise just waiting to be discovered. With its forests, rivers, waterfalls, olive groves, marble quarries, vineyards and livestock, this is the largest and most fertile island in the Cyclades. Naxos has always been gifted with abundance and is deeply appreciated by those who value the blessed land and all its produce, the authenticity of warm-hearted people and a strong folklore element.

With a vast coastline, mountains and gorges, plains and farmlands, beautiful secluded beaches and more than 40 villages and settlements, each one with its own character, cultural and culinary traditions, you will quickly understand that there is good reason why Naxos has gained such popularity over the recent years.

Personalized Trip Eleni worked with us to create a personalized tour. Due to the wildfires, we had to skip a few places and Eleni put together a fantastic agenda (a mix of the whole island tour and the north tour). I have always wanted to see a traditional olive oil press and she arranged for this as well. Our guide Alex was fantastic and so was our driver Sakis. Together they took us around Naxos starting with the temple of Demeter, village of Hali, pottery making and finally a beautiful beach place near Lionas Bay. We had some of the freshest fish at a fantastic restaurant by the beach run by a lovely family. The beach was spectacular ! We returned back to Chora after a nearly 8 hour trip. I highly recommend Eleni and the Philemon Food Tours.
