Description
Naxos is known to be one of the most fertile and green islands of the Cyclades, blessing its residents with treasures such as organic fruit, vegetables and savory dairy products some of which are globally known. In the mountain village of Filoti you will have the exclusive opportunity to visit a local pen (sheepfold) where a shepherd will share with you the story of his cheese making and of course you will taste some of the famous Naxian cheeses. In the green valley of Eggares village we will visit the museum of olive oil where you will taste the “liquid gold” which is produced by thousands of years old olive trees. One cannot miss tasting the famous Citron of Naxos which is distilled in the village of Halki, a liqueur made of the leaves of the citron trees, a unique product with a history which dates to 1896. Finally, you will wander around the alleys of the mountain village Apeiranthos, where you will have the chance to taste the so called “Zaboni” a salty and spicy prosciutto-like ham which is only produced in that village.
