Explore the Island of Naxos by bus - Full-Day Tour
Our first stop is the Temple of Demeter, a spectacular recently restored ancient temple dating back to 530 BC. Apart from the impressive monument, you will have the opportunity to visit the archaeological museum located in the same area, giving you the chance to see findings from the site.
We continue our tour and have our next stop at Damalas, a cute little village in the heart of the Tragea Valley, where we will enjoy a demonstration at the only remaining traditional pottery workshop and the traditional restored olive press. Then we drive to Chalki, the neoclassical village, where you can walk in the picturesque alleys, visit the traditional lemon distillery/museum and have an espresso while enjoying the classy atmosphere. Then we head to the oldest Byzantine church of Panagia Drossiani (4-6th century AD), where we will see the unique frescoes and special architecture. Our next stop is the most famous village of Naxos, Apiranthos, the "marble village", where you can stroll on the marble cobbled streets and take lots of photos. We drive towards the northern part of Naxos island and we end up at the northern end of Naxos, at the village of Apollonas, a small typical Cycladic village, ideal for swimming or just relaxing in the various cafes by the sea. On the way back we stop at the impressive statue of Kouros, a colossal unfinished statue from the 6th century BC, and then we head back to Chora, following the north-northwest coast of the island, enjoying the view of Agia Tower and the northern Cyclades islands.
Itinerary:
Demeter's Temple: This magnificent temple has been made exclusively of the finest quality Naxos marble and dates back to the 6th century BC.
Damalas Village: This small village, spread in amphitheatric fashion at the foot of Lagos hill in the valley of Tragea, is visible from many other locations on the island and offers fantastic views.
Chalki Village: The village of Halki in Naxos (or Chalki) is located in the central area of the region of Tragea, the largest olive cultivation area of the Cyclades, 16 km from Naxos Town.
Halki has a long history and was once the capital of Naxos, as well as its main administrative and trade center.
Church of Panagia Drossiani: is the oldest Christian church of Naxos. Located near Moni, it is considered one of the most important Byzantine churches and, therefore, is of immense historical significance.
Apollonas Village: is a lovely fishing village. It is named after Apollo, the Olympian god of light and music, and is inhabited since ancient times.
Kouros Statue: The remarkable statue of a Kouros is located outside the village of Melanes, in the countryside of Naxos.
