One of the most beautiful and charming spots in Naxos, Chalkio (also known as Halki), lies right at the heart of the island. There, among the picturesque alleyways that take you on a journey through time and space, you will find the spot where the heart of taste beats. The café-patisserie 4 Tastes has been serving for ten years, anything you could possibly crave and it does so in the best way.
The name speaks for itself, all four taste buds on your tongue are awakened by every flavor, every aroma, every texture. A culinary experience that takes you far beyond simple food!
In a peaceful corner of the village generously blessed with beauty and serenity, from 9 in the morning until late at night, you can taste anything that can satisfy your sweet tooth, fill you up and enchant you with its rich taste. It’s the perfect spot to start your day with a dreamworthy breakfast.
At the wooden tables in the shade, with a uniquely relaxing aesthetic, you’ll be served aromatic specialty coffee, 100% Arabica, with a perfectly balanced flavor. Pair it with fried eggs, rich omelets, or yogurt topped with fresh fruit and thyme honey from Naxos, a combination that leaves you feeling that nothing is missing. At the same time the window, which almost looks like a cinematic setting, transforms into a busy take-away countertop and the day kicks off.Â
The signature highlight of 4 Tastes is its ice cream, which leaves no visitor untouched by these flavors that you won’t find anywhere else! Handmade from start to finish, using top-quality local ingredients from Naxos (especially the fresh milk), as well as premium ingredients from all over the world (with no ready-made pastes). They’re combined and transformed into the most dreamy flavors -and are alternated frequently- such as pistachio ice cream made with real Aegina pistachios, Madagascar vanilla, or refreshing sorbets made of fresh seasonal fruits.
And if you’re in the mood for something frozen and delicious, 4 Tastes milkshakes are the definition of pleasure: made with three generous scoops of ice cream, they’re so rich they’ll have you smiling with every sip!
The smell of freshly baked crepes, sweet or savory, floats in the air inviting visitors to an irresistible tour of flavours where high-quality ingredients are evenly spread on a perfectly balanced dough.
In the afternoon and as the sun begins to set and the atmosphere is filled with the magic of summer, 4 Tastes is the ultimate destination for a handmade waffle (we recommend Nutella combined with cinnamon ice cream), accompanied by refreshing homemade lemonade.
If you love full-flavored desserts with a homemade touch, then the cheesecake with anthotyro (local cheese) and kumquat, the unique orange soufflé with chocolate ice cream, or the galaktoboureko with rich cream and cinnamon ice cream will absolutely captivate you and make your evening even more special. Don’t miss their handmade pralines, they melt in your mouth and steal the show!
The most interesting exploration of Chalki comes with a sweet sign and a name you’ll never forget. 4 Tastes offers you homemade tastes crafted with care, and a positive feeling that puts a wide smile on your face.
