    • Marvel at the impressive Kouros statue and immerse yourself in Naxos’ rich history
    • Witness the traditional art of cheese-making and milking on a private local farm
    • Enjoy a delicious, farm-to-table tasting of Naxian olive oil, cheeses, vegetables and wine

    Description

    Embark on a captivating 4-hour journey through Naxos, where ancient history, local traditions and breathtaking landscapes intertwine. Begin your exploration in the serene Melanes Valley, meandering through olive groves, citrus orchards and lush canes. Step back in time as you admire the ancient Kouros statue, a timeless relic of Naxos' past and soak in panoramic views of the surrounding valleys.

    The adventure continues with a visit to Eggares Valley, a place so picturesque it inspired famed Greek writer Nikos Kazantzakis to call it paradise on earth. Experience firsthand the island's agricultural heritage at a traditional stone mill olive press and enjoy tastings of premium olive oil. The tour culminates with a visit to a hidden local farm, where you will see the craft of milking and cheese-making in action, before indulging in a delightful tasting session at a traditional tavern, savoring the authentic flavors of Naxos.
