Highlights
  • Temple of Demeter - Step back in time at the venerable Temple of Demeter, nestled in Sagri Village and dating back to 530 BC. This temple, devoted to the deity of harvest, stands prominently at the brink of a lush valley in Naxos, boasting the distinction of being the first Greek temple made entirely of marble, including its roof, which underscores its significant historical value.\nPlease note: The temple is not open on Tuesdays.\n- Tragaias - A pottery workshop in Damalas Village that has been passed down through generations.\n- Chalki - In the inviting Chalki Village, take a leisurely walk and then explore the century-old, family-run distillery that continues to produce the famous Kitron liqueur of Naxos.\n- Zas Mountain - Ascend Zas Mountain as we make our way to our next point of interest.\n- Apeiranthos - Next, we visit the quaint and scenic marble village of Apeiranthos, where you can meander through its serpentine alleyways, soaking in its enchanting atmosphere. The nearby Stavros offers panoramic views that allow you to behold the eastern and western vistas of the island at once.\n- Eggares Olive Press Museum - In the charming Eggares Village, explore a restored, family-run olive mill where you can observe the traditional methods of producing olive oil, often referred to as ‘liquid gold,’ and taste the exquisite olive oil products.

Best tour of Naxos - We had an absolute great time on this tour. We got to see so much of the island and the stops were so nice. Our guide Spiros was amazing and really added to the tour, we’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Naxos.

Chill and relaxing way to learn about Naxos - Really enjoyed our 4 hours with Spiros. Excellent communication before our touring day. He picked us up from the airport shortly after we claimed our luggage. Then, he took us to the Eggares Olive Press. Spiros got them to open for us (because we visited a few days before tourist season started)!!! We not only got to sample olives and olive oil (of course) but also olive bread, olive cake, and olive dips. It was a great appetizer!!! Next, Spiros took us to Demeter's temple, a few villages, and a really cool pottery workshop. The kids got some super cool water birdie souvenirs that they were really excited about. At every stop, Spiros provided a good balance of information, patience (the kids were nuts), and "explore on your own" time. At the end, Spiros dropped us off at our lodging. Overall, it was a very chill and pleasant way to explore some of Naxos's sites, landscapes, history, and culture. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a relaxing tour of Naxos.

The Beauty of Naxos - One of our best experiences in Greece. This tour gave us a thorough introduction to the beauty of Naxos. Our guide, Spiros, was so knowledgeable and we all agreed that he was the best driver that we encountered in Greece! We ended out tour at the Apollo Temple just as the sun was setting - a perfect day.

Don’t miss this amazing tour! - Learning all about the history of the island, and seeing places we’d never see on our own like the honey and pottery place and the small quaint mountain villages. Our guide was exceptional and extremely knowledgeable.

Amazing tour of Naxos - Wonderful tour with George. He took us to all the highlights of Naxos and explained it all so well. We really enjoyed seeing the pottery store and going to the villages of Halki and Aperathos. This was the best tour we’ve had during our vacation. Definitely recommend!

More a driver than a tour guide - We were under the impression that the tour guide would provide us with information throughout the tour. Instead, we mostly had a driver who took us to various sites with little explanation about the sites or the areas we were visiting.
