    Description

    Your journey begins in the charming village of Engares, where you step into the past with a visit to a traditional olive press museum. This historic site, one of the oldest surviving olive mills on Naxos, has been meticulously restored, offering a glimpse into the island's longstanding olive oil production. The press itself dates back to at least the late 1800s, when it served the local community by processing olives grown in the surrounding groves.

    Continuing north, you make your way to the awe-inspiring Kouros of Apollonas. This colossal, unfinished statue, sculpted from Naxian marble, measures an impressive 10.7 meters in height and weighs approximately 80 tons. Dating back to the 6th or 7th century BC, the Kouros remains partially embedded in the quarry, a silent testament to the ancient craftsmanship that flourished on the island.

    Descending from the archaeological site, you arrive at the coastal village of Apollonas, a picturesque fishing settlement where you pause to indulge in a traditional meze, accompanied by a glass of ouzo or raki. The relaxed atmosphere and seaside views provide the perfect setting to savor the island's culinary delights.

    Your journey then takes you inland to Koronos, a village nestled in a lush valley at an altitude of 540 meters. Renowned for its scenic beauty and labyrinthine alleys, Koronos invites you to explore its charming pathways before settling in at a local taverna to enjoy authentic Naxian cuisine, crafted with fresh, local ingredients.

    Next, you travel to Apiranthos, a village celebrated for its unique architecture and rich cultural heritage. A visit to the local museum provides insight into the area's storied past, after which you stroll through its marble-paved alleys, admiring the traditional stone houses. To complete your experience, you dine at a traditional tavern, relishing dishes that embody the essence of Naxian gastronomy.

    Your final destination is the enchanting village of Halki, once the commercial heart of the island. Here, you explore the historic Vallindras Distillery, home to the renowned Citrus liqueur, and learn about the time-honored production methods that have been preserved for generations. A leisurely walk through the village’s picturesque alleys follows, culminating in a well-deserved break at a traditional café, where you enjoy a delightful dessert and a cup of aromatic coffee, bringing your day of exploration to a satisfying close.
