The interior of Naxos is a completely different world from the beaches — marble-paved villages, Byzantine churches, Venetian towers, and the unique Kitron liqueur made from Naxos citron leaves since the 19th century at the Vallindras Distillery, the only Kitron producer in the world.
Halki — former capital of Naxos. Venetian towers, Byzantine churches, local life
Vallindras Kitron Distillery — the ONLY Kitron distillery in the world. Copper stills, tasting of all three varieties
Filoti — largest mountain village. Under the shadow of Mount Zeus, highest peak in the Cyclades
Apiranthos — streets, squares and staircases paved entirely in local white marble. Two exceptional museums
Temple of Demeter (Sangri) — 6th-century BC marble temple, beautifully restored
Kitron tasting at Vallindras: a genuine local experience — not a tourist performance
Apiranthos: locals still speak their own ancient dialect — astonishing survival
