Taverna Axiotissa
Ταβέρνα Αξιώτισσα
Garden family taverna in Kastraki on the west coast, where most ingredients and wine are home-produced; oregano-braised rabbit and swordfish are its most famous dishes.
Located in Kastraki on the southwest coast, close to Mikri Vigla and Glyfada beaches, about 20 minutes' drive from Naxos Town. Family-run, with garden dining; most ingredients and wines come from the family farm. Signature dishes include lemon and onion oregano-braised rabbit (kouneli riganato) and swordfish, plus fig and cheese pie, Naxian cheese balls, roast goat, spiced chicken and daily specials. It is very popular, so book three to four days ahead in peak season. Prices are higher than an ordinary taverna, about €25–35 per person, which some visitors find pricey.
