Begin your tour by walking along the seafront street of the port to visit the old town of Naxos island. See the Portara, the big door, at the entrance of the port, the only ruin from an unfinished archaic temple, standing defiantly through the centuries.
Continue through the labyrinthine narrows to the castle of Markos Sanoudos, Venetian leader for five centuries on the island. On the way, stop to taste a variety of local cheeses along with the finest Naxian wine.
Next, enjoy a meal in a local restaurant, tasting different dishes and understanding why the Mediterranean diet is and has always been the healthiest in the world.
End your walk with a visit to a traditional liqueur store. Taste the “Naxos Citron'' local liqueur, a drink made with passion, love, and dedication to tradition, consisting of citron tree leaves with pure essence.
