We invite you to join us for an exciting island tour of the villages of Naxos, which stimulates all five senses. Draw the curtain down on the guidebooks and discover the tapestry of local customs and traditions which brings the spirit of Naxos to life. Together, with your local guide, you will explore the island’s local culture, from village to village, meet people, taste traditional products and experience the sights and sounds of nature while unravelling the island culture of Naxos with a local expert.

Our tour begins with some “food for thought” and a visit to the site of the unfinished colossal archaic statue, known also as Apollo, which has been sleeping in a garden for centuries before its discovery by local farmers.  After a glimpse to the island’s ancient past, we drive from village to village where we enjoy a different course of a meal at each different location!

Indulge in local homemade starters at an off-the beaten path small village, continue to the highlands of Naxos passing the marble quarries and enjoy cheese, wine and main course full of flavor at the mountain village of Apeiranthos, known for its marble streets and medieval architecture. Dessert is as special as our next village stop: Chalki is the former capital of the island where we’ll taste Naxos’ famous citron liquor at a 100-year-old distillery and, as an exceptional treat, savor the locally- prepared custard pie. Drive back with treasured memories filled with a true taste of Naxian life, now and then.
