Description
Begin your tour by visiting the restored Temple of Demeter in Sangri, dating back to 530 B.C. Explore the museum with local findings and learn about the history of the area. Next, head to a typical Cycladic pottery workshop and a traditional olive press in Damalas Village. Discover what sfouni or the cup of justice is.
Continue your tour to the oldest Citron distillery of Naxos, dating back to 1896, in Halki. Take the chance to taste the local Citron drink. After that, visit Filoti village, Panagia Filotitissa with its marble screen and carved bell tower dating from 1801, and Fasolas Square.
Then, visit Apeiranthos to see the famous marble village and shop in local traditional shops. The architectural design of the houses in Apeiranthos has remained almost untouched since the time of the Venetian Empire. Admire narrow marble-paved mule tracks, often covered by archways, Venetian defense towers, two-story stone houses with peculiar architectural details, and tiny squares.
Finish your tour as you head safely back to Naxos town after a memorable trip.
