Join a magnificent tour and cross the island’s inland, its northern part and the west. Visit the restored Demeter’s temple in Sangri from circa 530 B.C. and the museum with local findings.
Visit the traditional farm of Giannis and his wife Katerina and become a farmer for one day. After your guided tour on the farm and the milking of the animals it is time to roll up your sleeves and make traditional cheese *kefalotiri* with the help and instructions of Giannis. A process of preparation that is done in the same traditional way that was done by his father and grandfather many years ago and which is not a reminiscent of the modern way of making cheese. Then you will enjoy this and the other types of traditional cheese from Naxos accompanying them with a glass of wine from the farm vineyard.
