Highlights
  • Temple of Demeter - History comes alive at the ancient temple of Demetra, in Sagri Village, dated 530 BC, and dedicated to the goddess of agriculture. Built on the edge of a fertile Naxian valley, as the first Greek temple constructed entirely of marble (its roof as well), it’s of even greater historical importance.
    Please note : On Tuesdays the temple is closed.
  • Chalki - Chalki Village, where after a pleasant stroll, visit the hundred-year-old family owned distillery, which still produces Naxos’ well-known Kitron liqueur.
  • Zas Mountain - Driving up to Zas Mountain to reach our next destination.
  • Apeiranthos - The traditional and picturesque, marble mountain village of Apeiranthos is next, where you will enjoy sauntering along its winding paths, admiring its charm. The views from nearby Stavros will offer you the island’s unique view of both its east and west sides, simultaneously.
  • Naxos - Olive groves stretch out in front of us all along the route.
    Olive oil has always been an integral part of the island’s culture.
    A stop at a restored olive mill is considered essential.
    There you can watch how this “liquid gold” was once painstakingly prepared, as well as sample its delectable olive oil products.

Incredible tour of Naxos... - Incredible tour of Naxos with Alex! He was so knowledgeable and also patient with our slow pace (two young children with us). He even tailored the itinerary to stops the children would enjoy. Highly recommend!

Unique, Engaging and Very Enjoyable - This tour of Naxos was excellent! Alex, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly. I enjoyed our discussion immensely, and I appreciate that he encouraged us to ask questions. He gave us a very good sense of the island, and took us to many wonderful locations. The tour had a great variety of activities, the pacing and spacing of which was perfect. While it was a long day, I certainly wasn't wishing for it to end!

Amazing tour of the island - I can’t say enough about how wonderful this tour was. George was a wonderful host and guide. His knowledge of the extensive history of the island was appreciated by our family of history lovers. We felt like we saw much of the island, and got to spend enough time at each stop. Every member of our party of 4, including two teenagers, had a great time. We brought home gorgeous pottery, the best olive oil we’ve ever had, some Kitron, and so many memories. Book this tour, you will not be disappointed!

Lovely way to spend your afternoon in Naxos! - What a fun tour to spend the afternoon on. We really enjoyed the local insight and all of the great villages that we stopped at. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and helped us to navigate each of our planned stops. 10 out of 10 - would do again!

Wicked good tour - Our guide and owner of the company naxos sun holidays was awesome. He was upbeat, knowledgeable, and patient. He seemed to know everyone we came across which added to the feeling of being part of the island experience. All of the merchants and fellow tour guides were happy to see him. The tour was a great mix of history, culture and learning how people lived and live today. Totally recommend.

Enjoyable 4 hours! - I really enjoyed the tour and felt like George had so much knowledge of the history of the island. He was also able to answer questions about the current day life on the island and make recommendations for restaurants and such. It would’ve been nice to have a built in bathroom break option before the last stop, but we made it! One member of our party felt that George spent too much time chatting with individuals at each place and that he took us to vendors to build up their businesses, but the other two of us didn’t feel that pressure at all and enjoyed meeting and interacting with local business owners. We all felt safe and learned a lot from the tour & I would recommend it!
