On your way back home  do not forget to take  with you some local products such as:

Citrus liqueur wonderful and aromatic and why not the famous Graviera Naxos and Kefalotyri “male”. We tried it from the Cooperative at the port and it was excellent, but you will find them in many parts of the island.
