8Authentic Village Life

The mountain villages of Naxos, such as Apeiranthos, Halki, and Filoti, retain their authentic charm year-round.

In the off-season, locals are less busy catering to tourists and more focused on their daily routines—harvesting olives, baking bread, or distilling kitron (the island’s signature citrus liqueur). This is the best time to connect with residents, hear stories about village traditions, and see firsthand how life unfolds on the island when the summer rush is gone.
