The experience

The tour starts with traditional Greek coffee and homemade local snacks, then moves to a wine tasting at a local winery. From there you'll stop at Tzimplakis, a family-run shop stocked with traditional Naxian cheeses, cured meats, and island products where you can taste and learn how locals make them. Next comes souvlaki at the best spot in town, followed by a walk through the old area of Naxos Town to discover hidden streets and quiet corners.

Dinner happens at Metaxi Mas, a taverna where traditional Naxian recipes get a creative touch: think fresh local ingredients cooked the way islanders have always done it. The evening ends with a scoop of the island's best ice cream, made with Naxian milk.
