Top Naxos Bus Tours - page 2

This trip is a good way to explore the beautiful island which is quite large. The tour covered the hills, villages and seaside . It does not cover the old town near the port and Apollo temple , which can be explored on your own. Joseph's English accent was easy to understand and he was sweet enough to bring me next day, my water bottle which I had forgotten in one village store. My only suggestion is that the guests

We covered so much in this customized private 5 hour tour. Our driver, Mario was knowledgeable, sweet and polite. He grew up on Naxos and knew so much about each place and its history. And so enthusiastic and proud. He took us to Demeter, a 4 generation pottery place, and the villages of chaliki, filoti and aperanthos. I may have mispelled them. We went through the mountainous interior of the island. It is worth a look to see the island in addition to the coast.

This was a fantastic 1/2 day tour of the island. It fits a lot in and takes you to sites and villages that are historical, cultural and not crowded. There are a couple of towns that have boutiques with unique items and cafes to grab a snack/coffee. This tour was very unique and special and I highly recommend it! Our tour guide was terrific! A young man named Thanos who grew up on the island of Naxos and is currently getting his masters in tourism , culture and history. Thanos speaks English beautifully and had a good sense of humor as well. It was very unique to have a tour guide that grew up on the island and was able to explain what it was like. He was also able to explain the culture on Naxos, the history and the Greek Orthodox religion. We were able to see Naxos through his eyes. We even drove through the town he grew up in as he pointed out his church, etc. This tour was very informative, enjoyable and a great way to see a lot of the island in a short amount of time. The views from some of the sites we visited and from the bus are breathtakingly beautiful! You just wouldn’t be able to enjoy the views like this if you are trying to drive a car yourself. We arrived back at 12:30 pm just in time for lunch and not too tired to do more later. Kudos to the driver George who navigated the winding roads with the big bus. I’m very glad I didn’t rent a car and instead left the driving in the hands of someone who lives here and knows how to navigate the mountainous, narrow and steep roads. Take this tour! You will be very happy you did.
