Overview

The Ancient God of Wine Was Born on Naxos!
Your walk leads uphill to the medieval castle of Naxos, where breathtaking views await at its summit. As you walk through the winding alleys of the old town, step into an 800-year-old Venetian wine cellar and gallery. Here, savor three glasses of local wine paired with delicious Naxian cheese, while your guide introduces you to Dionysus, god of wine and revelry, and the ancient Greek symposiums that celebrated friendship and pleasure. During this intimate mini-symposium, view replicas of ancient Greek vases depicting Dionysian myths and feastings, brought to life through engaging storytelling. Conclude your tasting with a sip of rakomelo — raki infused with honey and cinnamon — the true nectar of the gods.
Back to the waterfront sunset walk to the famous ‘ Portara” the Great Gate of Apollo. Enjoy sunset while Helios the sun god paints the sky with the last translucent shades of pink and amber before he sets into the Blue Aegean.
