Cocktails & Naxos Best Views

Artisanal Alchemy & Naxian Spirits

Perched at the highest point of Naxos, the ELaiolithos terrace is where artisanal mixology meets the grandeur of the Cyclades. This isn’t just a bar; it’s an altitude-driven sensory experience where every ingredient is harvested from the surrounding slopes. From our signature craft cocktails to our curated collection of premium Greek distillates and organic regional wines, every glass reflects the rugged beauty of the landscape and the tradition of the land.

The Conscious Sip: High-Altitude Flavor, Zero Alcohol

We believe the art of a great drink lies in the quality of the ingredients, not the proof. For the wellness seeker, the designated driver, or the mindful traveler, our non-alcoholic selection offers the same complexity and Naxian “soul” as our spirited menu. From sophisticated mocktails infused with mountain botanicals to refined, dealcoholized wines, we ensure that every guest can toast to the sunset with a drink that is healthy, vibrant, and full of character.

From the Soil to the Shaker: The Terroir of ELaiolithos

Our menu is a liquid map of our surroundings. We move beyond generic bar staples to focus on Clean Drinking—a commitment to purity where every ingredient is sourced from organic local farms and our own backyard. By harvesting wild botanicals and sun-ripened fruits directly from the Naxian highlands, we eliminate additives and chemicals, ensuring your drink is as revitalizing as the mountain air.

The Essence of the Highlands

Every glass served on our terrace is a vibrant mosaic of the local ecosystem. We don’t just serve drinks; we serve the mountain’s bounty:

• Hand-Foraged Botanicals: Wild sage, rosemary, and thyme from the slopes of Mount Fanari.

• Citrus & Orchard Fruits: Sun-drenched lemons, oranges, and seasonal fruits picked at peak ripeness for natural sweetness.

• Pure Spring Water: Every drink is built upon the crystalline water of the local Fanari spring, the same pristine source that sustains the village of Moni.

• Artisanal Craftsmanship: From our small-batch homemade liqueurs to our selection of award-winning organic juices, we prioritize craftsmanship over mass production.

This dedication to local sourcing turns every sip into a celebration of Naxian vitality—giving you all the flavor and none of the side effects.
