A trip for newcomers comers and old hands
A most worthy trip. Elizabeth, or guide was friendly helpful and knowledgeable. We have visited Naxos numerous times and wanted to see Chora and Naxian food through different eyes. We had high hopes of something new and were not disappointed at all. The stops were frequent and very interesting ending up with a hearty Naxos meal. I thoroughly recommend this trip.

Warm and delightful walking tour
Our tour guide Stratos was adorable and full of knowledge. We had a lovely stroll through the Old Town Naxos with stops at a cheese shop, patisseries, roof top, olive oil tasting room and finally a delightful restaurant for a family style sit down dinner. It was such a warm and delightful way to see the town and meet some other people who were on vacation.
