What you can expect
Meet your guide at Naxos Bus Transfer Office, right outside Naxos Port and drive directly to your first stop, Demeter’s Temple. Admire the impressive restored sanctuary, take amazing pictures and visit the small on site museum.
Next stop will be Chalki village, the old capital and commercial centre of Naxos. Get free time (approx. 40’) to explore its colourful alleys, shop unique souvenirs, visit the distillery of “Vallindras” or just enjoy a coffee at one of its cosy cafes.
In the all year-round lively village of Filoti, you will visit the main church and explore the interesting collection of the folklore museum, exhibited in an old traditional house. A short, yet overwhelming visit that allows you a sneak-peak in the local life of the villagers and understand their strong bonds with their church and community.
Continue driving through old olive groves and reach Panagia Drosiani, a church of unique architectural style devoted to Virgin Mary- considered among the oldest in the Balkans! Here you will make a short stop to take pictures and if the church is open, also pay a quick visit to admire its unique frescoes.
Outside Kinidaros village you will make a short stop by the road to photoshoot the contemporary marble quarries before you reach Flerio valley. Walk through its lush gardens and meet the Kouros Statue, one of the most striking examples of Naxian marble art.
*On Tuesdays and on the 1st of May the Temple of Demeter is closed and instead you will visit a traditional pottery workshop in Damalas Village.
