What are people saying about Naxos

Daily Cruise - Koufonissia & Rina Cave

DIANE_A, Sep 2026

Great fun

The crew were so much fun! The locations we went to were perfect! Lunch was great! My only concern was it seemed there were too many people on the boat. Hard to find a place to sit and really hard walk around. People were almost tripping over each trying to move. What made it worse was the really rough seas on way back and there was no where to go, and the cabin was full of people sick, we were huddled in the back squished together to try to stay warm and dry! Other than the overcrowding it was great fun

Naxos Highlights Bus Tour with Free Time for Lunch at Apeiranthos

Megan_F, Sep 2026

An amazing, informative tour

Roula and Bill were fantastic! Bill knew how to navigate the narrow, mountainous roads so well! Roula was a great historian and shared so much knowledge with us. We were able to see so much of the island that we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. My favorite part was visiting the villages and especially Apolloanos! I highly recommend this tour. For the cheap cost, it’s definitely worth spending a full day exploring the different areas the island has to offer.

Mini-bus Naxos Tour

Our travel guide Sandy and our driver Stavros were exceptional. Stavros with his driving, air-conditioned minivan and hospitality and Sandy with her vast knowledge of the towns we visited. Each stop had ample time to enjoy the surrounds and didn’t feel rushed. Definitely would recommend this tour as a glimpse into Naxian culture!

Naxos Kayak Tour to Rina Cave with Snorkeling and Homemade lunch

audrey_p, Aug 2026

Greek vacation highlight!

Manolis, kristina, Noah and their team made it very safe and fun. Good security briefing. We were with our kids, 16, 13 and 11 and everybody had an amazing time. The boys loved cliff jumping. We ended up going to the Matsouna caves instead of Rina because of the wind but we really loved our experience. Less touristy, more wilderness and natural beauty. We appreciated the lunch on the pebble beach and loved the greek coffee at the end. They also lended us equipement like sun hats, rash guard and water shoes at no extra cost wich was definitely much appreciated. Overall really well organized and it was the highlight of our vacation.

Catamaran Experience Naxos , all inclunding

Dennis_M, Aug 2026

The catamaran experience...

The catamaran experience was one of the highlights of our time in Naxos. The boat was beautiful, luxurious, and very clean, with multiple bathrooms, which made the long trip really comfortable. The captain and crew were also incredibly nice and attentive throughout the day. You get a full day on the water and stop at at least two different locations where you can swim and enjoy the water. They had pretty much everything you could need onboard, including noodles, life vests, goggles, flippers, and other equipment, so you really don’t have to worry about bringing much beyond the essentials. The food was also surprisingly good. It was simple, authentic Greek food, but it was exactly what you needed after being out in the sun and swimming. They served moussaka, dakos, and cookies, and everything was fresh and satisfying. We did the morning trip, which made the experience feel especially relaxing. One thing to note is that this wasn't really a "turn up" or party boat. The atmosphere was much more laid-back and focused on relaxing, swimming, and enjoying the scenery. That could depend somewhat on the group you’re with, but if you’re looking for a chill day on the water rather than a party, this is a great choice. Overall, I would definitely recommend this experience. Beautiful boat, great crew, plenty of time in the water, good food, and an incredibly relaxing way to experience Naxos from the sea
