Salt-baked fish at Xifara
Siparos faces the channel toward Naxos from a low terrace at Xifara, beyond Naousa's packed harbor lanes. Tables suit seafood-focused couples and groups who want open water, linen napkins and deliberate plating rather than a village ouzeri.
The menu moves from red-shrimp ceviche and fish carpaccio to whole catch baked in salt, steamed or grilled over charcoal. Service runs daily from 13:00 between April and October; reserve the waterline, confirm fish weight and price, and arrange a car because the site sits outside town.
