Is there a better way to get introduced to an island than having a local guiding you around on your first afternoon? Enjoy a relaxed evening walking tour through Naxos Old Town and discover its most captivating sights. Feel like a time-traveler as you explore the layers of Naxos history, from the Venetian Castle to the Old Market and up to the ancient Temple of Apollo. Stroll past landmarks that shaped the island’s story and hear fascinating tales from centuries past. Learn about modern life on Naxos and uncover the customs and cultural events that bring the Castle’s community to life year-round. Wander the lively maze of the Old Market, filled with atmospheric bars, cozy taverns, and boutique shops offering local products and unique souvenirs. Finish your tour at the iconic “Portara” and take in breathtaking panoramic sunset views.
Discover some of Naxos’ most fascinating Byzantine churches as we hike between the villages of Moni, Kaloxylos, Halki, Apano Kastro, and Potamia. The area around Moni and Halki is home to remarkable churches such as Panagia Drossiani and Agios Georgios Diasoritis, known for their outstanding preservation. Step inside to admire stunning frescoes dating from the 6th to the 15th century. As we walk from church to church, follow your guide along scenic paths lined with ancient olive trees and vibrant orange trees. Some churches have been beautifully restored, others remain abandoned—each with its own story and charm. A few churches are hidden or locked, but we know where to find them and, when possible, where to obtain the keys to explore their interiors. Enjoy a refreshing break in Halki, where you can admire traditional Venetian houses. If you wish, you can also visit the Kitron Distillery, known for its famous local liqueur made from lemon leaves. We then continue through a more rugged landscape, with views of the upper fort of Apano Kastro and a stunning panorama of Chora. Our final stop is Ano Potamia, where you’ll have time to enjoy a light lunch (at your own cost) and connect with fellow travelers before we return to Chora.
Embark on a captivating journey through Athens with our expertly guided private walking tour, designed to blend ancient history with local charm.
We begin the day at the heart of Greek democracy the iconic Hellenic Parliament where you’ll witness the ceremonial Changing of the Guard by the Evzones in their traditional attire, an experience both dignified and photogenic. Next you will arrive to the legendary Acropolis, where history comes alive. Explore the majestic Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and other timeless monuments, as your guide shares the stories that shaped Western civilization.
We then wind down with a leisurely stroll through Plaka, Athens’ oldest and most picturesque neighborhood. Meander through narrow, stone-paved streets lined with neoclassical homes, quaint shops, and vibrant cafés, the perfect ending to a day filled with discovery and wonder.
