Description

Experience the rich heritage of Naxos, Greece, on a captivating half-day guided tour that reveals the island's most iconic historic and cultural sites in just four hours. Your journey begins at the Naxos Bus Transfer Office, conveniently located near the port, with luggage storage available for your comfort.

Step back in time as you visit Demeter’s Temple, a remarkable sanctuary from the 6th century BC. When the temple is closed, you’ll discover the artistry of a traditional pottery workshop in Damalas village. Your guide will share fascinating stories and insights before you explore each site independently.

Stroll through the lush Flerio Valley to encounter the impressive Kouros Statue, a striking example of ancient Naxian marble craftsmanship. Pause for photos at the contemporary marble quarries near Kinidaros, a testament to the island’s ongoing tradition of marble artistry.

Continue your adventure with a visit to Panagia Drosiani, one of the oldest churches in the Balkans, where you can admire unique frescoes if the church is open. In the charming villages of Filoti and Chalki, immerse yourself in local life, browse the folklore museum, and enjoy free time to shop or relax at a cozy café.

Travel in an air-conditioned vehicle with a small group, and enjoy the convenience of a pickup service for the morning departure from select locations. This tour is suitable for all fitness levels and runs rain or shine. Secure your spot now and uncover the timeless beauty of Naxos—availability is limited!

Good to know

The Demeter's Temple closes early (noon) in case of predicted heat wave. In that case, the tour that departs in the afternoon (13.00) visits Damalas pottery workshop instead of Demeter's Temple
It is customary upon the visit to a church to donate a small amount of 1€-5€. These money are used for the operational costs of the church and very often for donations on behalf of the church to people/ families of the community that are in need.
You will have to climb steps and walk uphill in order to visit the Temple of Demeter
Pickup service (only-not dropoff) is provided for the guests who book the morning departure of 08.30. This service is available only from specific pickup spots in the areas of Plaka, Ag.Anna, Ag.Prokopios, Stelida and Naxos Town. Upon booking, please provide your accommodation info and you will be notified about the closest pickup spot to you.
The tour begins and ends right outside Naxos Port. Luggage storage is provided for the participants free of charge.
The tour guide is not licensed and thus not allowed to guide you inside Demeter's Temple and Panagia Drosiani Church. You will get all the information about the monuments before you enter.
