The Island of Naxos is very famous everywhere in Greece for its patatoes.You could certainly call Naxos as "the potato island"! I do not know the secret, but the Naxian potatoes are so delicious!
Ask for them, buy them, eat them!
What to buy: Potatoes!!!

Since 1915, PROMPONAS Wine and Liqueur Makers have been producing in the traditional way the local Naxos liqueur.
Kitron or Citron is a unique liqueur, which is only produced and found in the island of Naxos.It is a pure extract of citrontree leaves, without any chemical preservatives, unique taste and fine heady aroma.
PROMPONAS is one of the two local Kitron makers.You will find the Promponas Shop (I would call it: a "Liqueur Boutique", it is so lavishly decorated with so many bottles of any size), on the Naxos Seafront (Paralia), just some metres away from the main port.Except the "Kitron Liqueur", which is the speciality of the shop, you will find also some other products made by Promponas, like: wines (Bacchus and Ariadne), traditional preserves, made from fruits, as well as many other famous products from the wine and liquor sector.
Just remember that kitron tasting is highy recommended and encouraged and free of charge! Ask for that as you are passing by!
What to buy: Kitron Liqueur
Wines
Preserves
in wonderful and appealing packages!
What to pay: Prices start from 3 euros.
