- Chalki - In Chalki Village, enjoy a leisurely walk and visit the century-old family-owned distillery, which continues to produce Naxos’ famous Kitron liqueur.
- Zas Mountain - Journey up to Mount Zeus, the highest peak in the Cyclades. Nestled within the lush Tragea valley, it is surrounded by numerous olive trees.
- Filoti - The largest settlement on the island, Filoti is a picturesque village built amphitheatrically on the slopes of Mount Zeus. The expansive branches of a majestic old plane tree generously offer shade to visitors. The district’s most famous church is Panagia Filotitissa (the Holy Mary of Filoti). The current structure, established in the 18th century, features a three-bell tower with intricate carvings. In front of the church is the Ecclesiastic and Folklore Museum of Filoti, where visitors can explore a traditional house and admire relics and icons of the church.
- Naxos - Olive groves line the route, showcasing the island’s cultural heritage. A visit to a restored olive mill is a must, where you can observe the traditional preparation of this “liquid gold” and taste its delightful olive oil products.

Family friendly tour to learn the essence of Naxos - Alex was a wonderful tour guide and had a great knack for “reading the room” with our kids (7/11/13 year olds). The time spent at each stop was well-balanced- not too long or short. The locals at the locations were welcoming and informative. This was a wonderful way to get to know the essence of Naxos and see the interior of the island.

Naxos half day - Loved the array of visits throughout beautiful Naxos with Alex. Amazing tastings, visits with local businesses, and viewings of historical sites. Alex was easy going, fun and a pleasure to spend the day with my 2 adult sons.

Great experience - Our driver was great and we had a wonderful time exploring the island. We were able to see the highlights of the island with a personal driver which was very nice as he could tailor it to our needs.

Great Way to See the Best of Naxos - The half-day tour was the perfect way for us to see the highlights of Naxos. We had not planned to do too much tourist-type activities on our holiday to Naxos, preferring to just enjoy the beach and the sun. However the half-day tour provided a great options for us to see a number of the key cultural highlights of the island in a relaxed, easy way. Our tour guide was very informative and took us all over showing us some of the best cultural sites. Highlights were the Pottery Workshop and the Olive Oil Tour and Tasting. At the end, we were dropped off back at our hotel in time for an evening swim.
