Book this tour and discover the hidden beauty of authentic Naxos beyond tourism. Explore quiet villages, taste local products and meet warm-hearted, hospitable people.
You will be picked up from your hotel and drive directly to your first destination, Kaloxylos, a serene village of 50 inhabitants. Here you will visit a historical building that houses the island's first electric company and its first ever electric oil-press. You will have a sample tasting of extra virgin olive oil followed by exploring the nostalgic alleys of the village.
Your next stop will be the year-round lively village of Filoti . You will visit its central church, walk by the Venetian Tower of Barozzi and stroll through the picturesque neighborhood of Fasolas, where you will visit century-old shops of a grocer, a barber, a tailor, a smith and a carpenter. Throughout the visit, you will hear stories about past and modern local life.
To end your tour, you are invited to a “mitato” (a local shepherd’s hut). Go on a guided tour around the farm, where you’ll view and taste the farm’s produce off from the trees. You’ll learn how wine and honey is traditionally made, since before modern technology kicked in. You’ll also get to pet & feed the farm animals . After a short visit to the “museum” where all the traditional tools and items are kept, you’ll be rewarded with a full mediterranean brunch, with the farm’s produce.
A unique opportunity to get an insider’s look at the daily life of the locals!
