=== Agriculture === Naxos is the most [[Fertility|fertile]] island of the Cyclades. It has a good supply of water in a region where water is usually inadequate. Mount Zeus ({{convert|1,004|m|ft|disp=or|abbr=off}}) is the highest peak in the Cyclades, and tends to trap the clouds, permitting greater rainfall. This has made [[agriculture]] an important economic sector with various vegetable and fruit crops as well as cattle breeding, making Naxos the most self-sufficient island in the Cyclades. Naxos is well known within Greece for its "Arseniko Naxou" cheese, potatoes, [[Kitron]] (a local lemon-citrus spirit), and Naxian honey (which is largely derived from the nectar of [[thyme]]).<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Lisiecki |first1=Chelsea |last2=Foufopoulos |first2=Johannes |title=Profits vs. preservation: How can shepherds balance the social and ecological costs of livestock grazing on Naxos? |journal=World Development Perspectives |date=2022 |volume=26|doi=10.1016/j.wdp.2022.100430 |doi-access=free }}</ref>
