About This Tour
Spend a morning discovering the authentic rhythm of local life in Naxos, far from the crowds and tourist spots. This private tour begins with a scenic drive inland through the island's oldest olive grove where some trees are over 800 years old.
Arriving in the small, unspoiled village of Kaloxylos, visit a century-old olive press, taste local olive products accompanied by farm-to-table starters such as Naxian cheese and freshly baked bread, then relax with a glass of wine in the countryside. Continue with a gentle nature walk through the olive groves before enjoying a delicious family-style Mediterranean lunch with local dishes, wine, and a homemade dessert of galaktoboureko in Chalki, the island's former capital.
The experience ends with a visit to a 120-year-old family distillery to taste Naxos' traditional citron liqueur.
