“An excellent tour, offering the ability to explore a much more of Naxos including some incredible towns and lovely historic places.”
All-day Naxos highlights bus tour with pickup, Demeter Temple, pottery and olive press, lunch stop in Apiranthos, beach and Kouros.
“Chose this on my first proper day to get a feel of Naxos, it was great value, and heard the coach had AC! The day was an utter delight, the coach was comfy and cool, driven with utter expertise by Vasilis - an automotive mountain goat in human clothing! Thanos was the consummate guide - charming, eloquent, clear and very educational throughout. It was also very apparent during the tour that he took time to greet and get to know each of the group individually, which I really appreciated. Each of the stops was just right in length and seeing Temple of Dionysus and Kouros statue were awesome inspiring, and…”
Half-day Naxos cooking class at Basiliko Family Tavern: pick garden produce, learn Naxian recipes, enjoy wine and Greek dancing in a rural village.
“We had the absolute best experience with Ana and her family and the farm and learning to cook local dishes! It was such a treat! We were smiling from ear to ear! We highly recommend this to anyone! Even if you don’t like to cook it was so enjoyable for all! We loved the wine and the breaking plates and dancing as well! Oh and of course we loved Grace the pup!”
Full-day Naxos bus highlights with Demeter Temple, pottery and olive press, marble Apiranthos, and Apollonas sea time plus the Kouros statue.
“Really great day out, highly recommend. We made lots of stops during the day so it didn't feel like we were sitting all day on the bus. Such a convenient way to see Naxos Island, I was happy to be in the capable hands of our excellent bus driver rather than driving myself. Our tour guide Jacob was fantastic, he set a very high standard. Jacob was funny and informative and passionate about everyone feeling comfortable and having a good time. I particularly enjoyed my swim at Apollonas.”
Naxos to Koufonisia cruise with snorkel gear, Rina Cave swim, and a Greek BBQ with wine on the IASON boat.
“This ride was the highlight of our stay in Naxos!! The crew was hilarious and did a phenomenal job checking in on passengers, giving explanations of passing sights, and keeping everyone fed and watered! The swims were amazing, and there was nothing like it at any of the beaches accessible from the mainland. The barbecue was delicious and there was plenty to go around. We particularly enjoyed Sofia's Cafe at Ano Koufonisi and swimming in the shallow, soft sand beach there. This is not a luxury yacht with five star bathrooms and your own lounge chair, so expect to be packed a bit tight and enjoy meeting new people! Would…”

Sail from Naxos to Delos’s sacred ruins and then Mykonos Town, with timed free time, no guide included, and a long hot walk.
“we enjoyed exploring Delos and would have liked more time on the island. It was a very crowded paying at the entrance to the site. Some people seem to have already have tickets, so it would be good to know if it is possible to purchase entry tickets. There were a numer of large cruise ships off the port at Mykonos, which resulted in the path from the port being extremely crowded.”
