Step into Authentic Island History: Explore a preserved 19th-century commercial neighborhood that reveals how village life and economy once functioned
Discover Traditional Professions & Workshops: Visit restored grocery stores, tailor and shoemaker workshops, olive oil mills and traditional kafenia
Experience a Living Cultural Landmark: Walk through a beautifully restored setting that reflects the human-scale architecture and social structure of old Naxos
Description
The Greek tradition comes alive in the historic commercial neighborhood of Fasolas, located in Filoti village on Naxos. Set within the settlement of Rachidi, Fasolas once served as the village's main commercial and artisan center.
Before the construction of the Provincial Road connecting Chora (Naxos Town) to Apiranthos, this neighborhood was the heart of local economic life. Small professional workshops and shops operated side by side, including grocery stores, fabric and household linen shops, a bakery, a tailor's workshop, a shoemaker's shop, a blacksmith's workshop, olive oil mills and traditional "kafenio" (cafes).

The "neighborhood of the professionals" of Fasolas offers an authentic representation of how the economy of an island village was organized and functioned during the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, while also showcasing the human-scale character of both workplaces and homes.
With the construction of the provincial road, most businesses relocated to the "Amaxotos" (the carriage road). Fortunately, many of the original shops remained largely intact. Today, they have been carefully restored, creating a remarkable setting that transports visitors directly to the 19th century.
The Fasolas area takes its name from the homonymous neighborhood of Kampos on the island of Chios, the birthplace of Antonis Pagidas, a young refugee who later settled in Filoti, Naxos.
