Axiotissa

Top choice in Naxos


A destination in its own right, Axiotissa is all about creative dishes made from locally sourced ingredients, be it fresh catch from their fisherman friend, aubergine casserole with local cheese, Armenian-style sausage or a punchy tzatziki with mustard seeds. Wash it all down with their own rosé wine or a Cretan craft beer. Book ahead.
