Naxos tours

Things to do in Naxos

Greek legend tell us that ungrateful Theseus abandoned Ariadne on the island of Naxos after she rescued him from the Cretan Minotaur; turns out it wasn't such a bad fate, as the island is one of the most fertile and lovely in the Cyclades, producing a bounty of olives, grapes, figs, and citrus fruits. Take a private Naxos tour and learn more about the island's charms with a friendly local guide. Start your day with a visit to the historic and atmospheric village of Halki, where you can taste the region's famous kitron liqueur, which is still made using an ancient distilling process. Wander the stone streets, shop for crafts and pay a visit to a Byzantine church. See the 17th century tower of Bazeos Castle, and enjoy a modern exhibition or reading in its medieval-inspired rooms. Perhaps pay a visit to the local museum in the beautiful mountain village of Apiranthos. If it's a hot day, your guide may suggest a swim along Naxos' golden West Coast. Enjoy your private Naxos tour!
