    We learnt so much!

    August 5, 2024

    I had been to the village of Chalki last time I was in Naxos and I wanted an expert guide and to learn more about nature. This was an AMAZING tour. So detailed and informative. We learnt about history and nature and the herbs and how they are used in different foods and teas in Greece. This is not a normal tour but something very special
