Highlights
A tour with a local licensed guide is always an experience that gives you the chance to embrace the local culture and save money and time. Personally, what has always fascinated me the most is the connection between the present life and the ancient customs, the authenticity of the people, and the hidden treasures of each place that have always more untold stories to reveal. Come and enjoy with me the Naxian life through time, the great challenges of our history and present, our wonderful and unique museums and archaeological excavations, customs and traditions, local products, and nature in a customized tour.

About Naxos
Naxos, the largest of the Cyclades, mixes long sandy beaches, mountain villages, marble quarries and a Venetian old town.
Naxos Town, the island's capital, is a whitewashed port with a Venetian castle on the hill above and narrow lanes winding through its centre. Out on the harbour islet stands the Portara, a huge marble doorway, all that remains of an unfinished temple of Apollo begun in the sixth century BC. The island is greener than most of its neighbours, with fertile valleys, springs and the Cyclades' highest peak, Mount Zas.
