This island tour touches the heart of Naxos linking the treasures of the past with present in an enlightening journey through art, myths, history, and culture—as well as its delicious local products. Designed for art and history lovers, as well as for fans of authentic local culture, your expert certified guide highlights the merging of cultural treasures on the island through the ages.

Our tour begins with a visit to the early Christian Drosiani Church. The rich legacy of Byzantine Naxos flourishes on the island with tiny churches and monasteries. Next, visit Naxos 1000 year old Byzantine Church with authentic religious frescoes and hand painted icons. Continue your drive to the Naxian countryside to reach Kaloxylos, an off-the-beaten path non-touristy village. After a leisurely walk through timeless olive tree orchards, visit the 100 year old olive press and experience an olive oil presentation and tasting with local treats. End your day with a visit to quaint Halki village, with its stunning bougainvilleas for a sip of kitro, a local liquor still produced at the over 120 year old distillery.
