    Description

    Embark on a picturesque journey through three distinct villages, immersing yourself in the exploration of ancient artifacts along the way. Delight in a visit to a local distillery, culminating in a savored traditional meal to cap off an exceptional day. For those eager to intimately acquaint themselves with Naxos, this hike offers an ideal experience. Commence your day with the convenience of a hotel pick-up transfer, setting the stage for your adventure.

    Envision the scenario: traversing under the shelter of plane trees and citrus groves, a monumental Kouros statue, a representation of a male youth from ancient times, lies flat on the ground just minutes into your hike. And there is another one a short distance away! Unravel the mysteries surrounding the presence and abandonment of these statues right on the spot.

    Adjacent to the Kouros statues, ancient and modern marble quarries unfold, recounting Naxos' enduring connection with marble. Progress through villages via ancient footpaths that have linked these charming whitewashed locales for centuries.

    Upon reaching Ano Potamia, take a refreshing pause at the village's water fountain. The uphill portion of the hike leads you to Apano Kastro and the remnants of a Venetian citadel, treating you to a breathtaking panoramic view: the Tragea valley stretching beneath; the Aegean sea's limitless blue merging with the horizon; and lunar-like landscapes punctuated by villages nestled in verdant surroundings.

    As you descend, you will first arrive at the scenic village of Tsikalario, concluding your hike in Halki, an enchanting village showcasing neoclassical architecture. The journey concludes with a visit to a local distillery producing Kitron, Naxos citrus based liqueur, where you can raise a toast to life, laughter, newfound friendships, and a memorable day. Cap off the adventure with a delectable meal at one of the island's finest traditional tavernas, nestled under the shade of a climbing grapevine.
