Filoti & Halki Villages in Central Naxos Island - Olive Groves & Sightseeing

Filoti & Halki

Filoti (19 Km from Naxos Town) is worth a trip village, settled well up on the flank of Zas mountain. There are quite a few cafes and tavernas, many of them been shaded by a massive plane tree. 

Panagia Filotitisa Church with  white marble icon screen and beautiful icons is worth a visit. The local festival is in honour of the Virgin Mary and lasts three days, from 14 to 16 of August, when there is traditional singing and dancing and general feasting.

Halki or Tragea (14 Km from Naxos Town) once administrative centre, is a beautiful village with long history. It is situated in the middle of an olive grove with towers built by Byzantines and Venetians.

Protothronos Virgin Church at Halki with fine frescoes from Early Christian, middle Byzantine and late Byzantine periods is worth a visit. Saint George Diasorites is a brilliant 11th century church with marvelous architecture and frescoes. Damniotissa Virgin, west of town of Kaloxylos in the area, has exceptional architecture and frescoes. Barotsi - Frangopoulou - Gratsia tower has three floors and was built the 17th century by the Venetian family Barotsi.
