Naxos Tours

LAND DAY TOURS

One way of exploring Naxos is by car and casually driving around. Even though that allows for a comfortable acquaintance with the landscapes and villages, it omits all not car-convenient places, along with a deeper understanding of the Naxian culture and heritage.

We strongly recommend the Castle Walking Tour and Sunset at the Portara day tour, where you will experience the Venetian and ancient Greek heritages of Naxos.
Accompanied by a professional guide, you will visit two of the most emblematic monuments - the Kastro (Castle) and the Portara, the remnant of an ancient Temple of Apollo.

For avid history enthusiasts, the Full-Day Historical Bus Tour will be their cup of tea.
A comfortable 8-hour day tour familiarizing you with the Naxian historical, folklore, and culinary heritage, combined with plenty of photos to capture, is sure to leave you astonished.

BOAT CRUISES AND DAY BOAT GETAWAYS

Shifting the focus from the inviting mainland, it is high time we talked about the most sought-after feature of Naxos; its unparalleled azure waters and seascapes.
Experiencing them in the conventional way of beach visiting and sunbathing is a key ingredient of any summer vacation.
Unfortunately, this approach has limitations and excludes a plethora of untouched, secluded seashores, sublime marine vistas, and awe-inspiring sea caves.

We assembled the top-tier single-day cruises of Naxos, along with various full-day boat cruises and excursions to nearby Cycladic destinations.

Exploring the beautiful south coasts of Naxos is easy and enjoyable when aboard the Rina Cave and South of Naxos Cruise with Lunch.
With experienced captains and friendly crews, you have the opportunity to swim and snorkel in crystal-clear, turquoise waters and approach the famous Rina sea cave and other boat-only accessible Naxian locations.
You can rest and enjoy a Greek lunch and a refreshment prepared on deck, adding a local flavor to your day tour.

You can either spend your time diving, snorkeling and swimming near Naxos or alternatively do so at selected shores of the Small Cyclades nearby, like the experience offered via the Full-Day Small Cyclades Sailing Cruise. You can also choose between Catamaran Sailing Cruise with Lunch and Day Cruise on a Catamaran with Lunch to have a truly magnificent day on the indigo Cycladic shores.
Day cruises are so popular with visitors that they sell fast, especially during the high season.
For that reason, we invite you to explore more sailing day tours that guarantee a memorable experience.

Including swimming stops at selected Naxian locations and Small Cyclades like Schinoussa, Irakleia, or Koufonisia, these boat cruises make for a great summer getaway. Cruise to Koufonisia with BBQ Lunch is an excellent option to include in any Naxos itinerary.

Furthermore, if you plan on visiting Naxos for more than just a few days, a splendid idea is to add another or so island destinations to the mix.

Carefully composed boat tours will take you to Koufonisia, Iraklia, Mykonos (and Delos), and Santorini to spend time exploring them afoot.
Those cruises last several hours, giving you plenty of time for photo shooting, wandering, and enjoying quality time on selected islands of unparalleled beauty and hospitality.

Additionally, a different approach due to the minimal distance between is to opt for the sister island of Paros and spend a whole day discovering its unique charm.

SPECIAL ACTIVITIES

Except for day tours, for adrenaline enthusiasts, Naxos offers windsurfing and kitesurfing activities. With the guidance and assistance of professional instructors and all the necessary gear provided, you can spend some thrilling evenings at the fantastic beaches of Naxos.

Hone your skills and let loose with the Windsurfing lessons and Kitesurfing lessons during the summer season.

Last but not least, there is no better way to preserve a vacation memory than to recreate it back home.
That’s where the Half-Day Cooking Class at Basiliko Family Tavern comes along.
Greek cuisine is among the top ones worldwide, with juicy and healthy recipes that enchant you. Learn how-tos from the locals and acquire hands-on experience that you can replicate at home.
