On your private, guided tour around the island, start with Demeter’s Temple which dates all the way back to the 6th century BC, built 50 years prior to the Parthenon! Next up is the small village of Chalki where you’ll have the chance to see how kitron, a traditional citron liqueur, is produced and visit a distillery that is over a century old. You will also have some free time to shop and explore this quaint mountain village.

There will be a stop in Apeiranthos for a delicious lunch and then, onward to an old olive mill where you’ll see the traditional process of how olive oil is made. There is a fabulous shop attached selling products made from local olive oil and goat’s milk.

Naousa Boat Trip

This morning, visit Agia Anna Beach, one of the most popular in Naxos. Bask in the sun on a beach lounger while sipping a drink or having lunch.

Then, head back to the hotel later in the afternoon so you can get ready to hop in a speedboat toward the whitewashed village of Naousa on the island of Paros. Naousa is full of narrow, cobbled streets with boutiques, cafes, and bistros, great for some retail therapy. If you’re not a shopper, just walking through the maze of cute little streets is a great way to spend the day and there’s a photo op around every corner!

Head back to Naxos in time for a breathtaking sunset as you glide across the crystal blue waters of the South Aegean Sea.

*In case of high winds, the boat trip will be rescheduled or canceled.
