Day at Leisure - Naxos
Spend the day exploring Naxos at your own pace. Relax on one of the island’s beaches, such as Agios Prokopios or Plaka, known for their clear waters and soft sand. Visit the traditional village of Halki to sample locally produced citron liqueur and stroll through its charming streets. Hike to the ancient Temple of Demeter, an early example of classical Greek architecture set in the countryside. For a more active option, try windsurfing or paddleboarding along the coast. In the evening, enjoy fresh seafood at a waterfront taverna or return to the Portara for another stunning sunset view over the Aegean. Beyond its historical sites and beaches, Naxos is also known for its food. Whether dining in a tucked-away mountain village or at a seaside café, the island’s flavors shine through in every dish. Try local specialties like arseniko cheese, Kitron liqueur, and freshly caught seafood, best enjoyed with a view of the landscape that makes this island so special.
