      With the day at leisure, you might spend it at the beach. Or, with so much to see and do in Naxos, allow our travel specialists to arrange a tour. If you’re interested in learning about its long tradition of marble-carving, join a workshop that will allow you to make your own souvenir using both traditional and modern techniques. Or consider a guided trek along the roughly 2.8-mile path on Mount Zeus, where you’ll likely see (and hear) the many bell-wearing goats as you make your way to the top for a panoramic view of the surrounding islands, spread like jewels across the sea.

Built in amphitheatrical style on the slopes of Mount Fanari, it has a medieval feel with Venetian-era architecture and extensive use of local marble along its narrow streets and alleyways. Your tour goes beyond the natural and manmade beauty, focusing on the food that the late chef/TV personality/traveler Anthony Bourdain raved about during an episode of “Parts Unknown.”

      You’ll quickly learn why he loved it, while sampling everything from goat cheese with honey to smoked ham, homemade bread, a cheese plate with raki, and dessert with kitron, the local liqueur.
