Greek mythology will be brought to life as you’ve never known before on this half-day tour of the stunning island of Naxos. Discover the rural hinterland of this fascinating and alluring island with all the family, and let the magic of Greek mythology take you over.
The first stop is Melanes, where you will visit the colossal 7th-century statue of Kouros, towering over you at 6 meters high. Eclipsed by the peaceful shadow of the Kouros, you and your family can discuss the origins and stories of Greek mythology.
A local pottery workshop is a next stop, where you will have the privilege of seeing a live demonstration by a local potter. Feel free to ask the potter any questions you have and use this opportunity to learn all you can about the art of pottery.
The kids are destined to love the next stop on the tour: a donkey farm! Go ahead and play with the animals, feed and pet them. Here you’ll also learn the interesting history of the most famous Greek equine, as well as an education on Greek medicinal plants and their ancient healing properties. Following this will be a fun game of darts for the family.
Chalki makes the last stop on the tour; an attractive historical village that used to be the capital of Naxos. You and your family will be invited to take a short walk in an olive grove, as well as visit a local olive oil shop and enjoy a rather delicious honey-tasting experience.
