This is the right itinerary if you want to see Naxos from a "green" and unusual perspective. This hiking will bring you in the middle of the island, down in a lush valley where the sound of the nature is going to makes you forget you are in Naxos island. And after a good wolk? Some good food, of course! Let's have lunch in a place well known by locals.

The way down to Garinou Spring

Garinou Spring is situated in the valley behind Kinidaros. The presence of water makes the surrounding vegetation lush and green. But...does a place like this really exist in Naxos? I know it's hard to believe, but yes: imagine a green spot in the middle of nowhere, crossed by a small stream which create pools of water inhabitated by water turtle, frog and crabs. There is also a green area where you can place a towel and enjoy the silence and nature. On the way there, the hiking takes around one hour because it's only downhill, the way back take a bit more bacause it's only uphill. Once you got to the dirt road (below you can read how to get there) park in a way that other cars can pass (the villagers pass from there with goats) and start to walk down in the valley.

Bon Appetit!

The best way to learn local culture? At the table! For this reason I picked a tavern which has been opened for almost 100 years. Here a lot of locals come to share some time and eat really good meat.

    Tou Vasilarakiou

    A small and cosy restaurant situated in the curve of the main road in Kinidaros village. The owners have also a butchery with which they supply the restaurant. The meat is really good and fresh and this is the only one place where they prepare aged meat. They have also a good selection of wine bottle from Greece and homemade cheese.
