Activity itinerary

Kaloxilos

Nestled in the quaint village of Kaloxylos, the historic Markos Vallindras olive press stands as a captivating window into Naxos's industrial past. Located roughly 16 kilometres from the main town, this meticulously preserved site allows guests to discover the traditional machinery once used to extract liquid gold from olives. Beyond its agricultural roots, the building holds a unique place in local history: it housed Naxos's very first power plant. From 1923 until 1940, the energy generated by the mill’s movement provided electricity to three neighbouring settlements. Today, the Vallindra family has transformed the space into a living museum where visitors can observe century-old production methods, taste authentic local oils, and enjoy a relaxing coffee in the on-site café following their tour.
