Overview

Uncover the timeless charm of Naxos on this full-day private ride through the island’s iconic landmarks, villages, and landscapes. With hotel pickup by your friendly English-speaking driver, you’ll explore at your own pace and can fully customize your itinerary.

In Chalki, the island’s former capital, enjoy art boutiques and taste Kitron at a historic distillery. Stop at Filoti for lunch or coffee beneath shady plane trees, and continue to marble-paved Apeiranthos, rich in culture and museums. Visit the giant Kouros of Apollonas, a centuries-old statue resting in the open. End at Eggares, where you’ll tour a traditional olive oil press and sample local flavors. After a full day of discovery, your driver will return you comfortably to your hotel.
