Olive oil press visit, where you can watch how this “liquid gold” was once painstakingly prepared, as well as sample its delectable olive oil products
The largest settlement on the island is a beautiful village amphitheatrically built on the foothills of mount Zeus. The sprawled branches of an imposing old plane tree lavishly provide the guests with shadow. The most renowned church of the district is Panagia Filotitissa (the Holy Mary of Filoti). The current building was established in the 18th century and boasts a three-bell tower with exquisite carved details. In front of the church lies the Ecclesiastic and Folklore Museum of Filoti. There, guests have the chance to see how a traditional house used to be and admire some of the relics and icons of the church.

What a wonderful afternoon we spent with Nikos taking us around Naxos and offering such insight into the culture. We made stops at a special church, historic distillery, pottery shop, and olive oil press. Nikos also answered our many questions and was a great guide.
Thank you so much Alex for the most amazing day! This was the perfect tour and we went to places we would NEVER have seen if it had not been for Alex. He is a wonderful guide, and driver, and we loved every minute. If you are considering a tour, do not hesitate to book. Thank you for a great day!
Alex was amazing. Felt like we saw the real Naxos. Learned a ton. Alex taught throughout. Good balance of driving and walking. Perfect for family.
Our guide Nicolas was very accommodating and kind. He timed our stops to avoid the crowds. The visits to the villages gave a nice appreciation of Naxos. The Temple of Demeter and accompanying tiny museum was interesting with lovely views of the island.
Wonderful way to get to know the island and culture of Naxos, visiting local villages and learning about their way of life and craftmanship. Very picturesque Greek villages and scenery. Alex our tour guide was amazing! Very knowledgeable and engaging, Alex even got our 2 teen boys interested.
Alex, our driver picked us up on time at the front door of our hotel, and was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. We got to see all kinds of interesting things, like how they make a local liquor, how they make olive oil, and how they make pottery. We'll worth the time and money for this tour.
We had the best time on our tour. Aldo was so kind and informative. It felt like a friend was giving a tour of his hometown. Highly recommend
Excellent tour, well worth the money. Guide Alex was warm, friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Naxos half day tour was very enjoyable meeting the artisans and learning about their olive oil products, pottery making and the production of Kitron by five generations of Naxians. Beautiful, engaging people who explained the processes for each product we saw so very well. Our guide Alex, was informative, knowledgeable and engaging. He made the tour interesting and fun for us. We highly recommend this tour if you are short on time as we were.
We loved this tour! Alex was an excellent guide. Friendly and knowledgeable. Interesting to see the how olive oil and Kitron was made and have the tastings. Visiting Filoti gave us the small Greek island village feel. Highly recommend and if you get Alex, you’ll be in good hands!
