A nice day trip that...

A nice day trip that allowed you to see various villages of Náxos. I really enjoyed the trip to the pottery studio and learning how they used to make olive oil. The pottery was very reasonably priced. Chalki has really good spices in Naxia Natura. Angeliki provided lots of facts and Spiros kept us safe on those winding roads.

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

Outstanding Naxos villages tour!!!🌟

Everything about this tour was excellent, from pick up to drop off. Our lovely tour guide Aggeliki was very knowledgeable and friendly to everyone. She informed us about the historical sites we were seeing all along the way and answered everyone’s questions. She even had lunch with us – so fun! The tours of the olive oil, honey and ketron facilities were incredible and were a great experience. We were able to see village life in the countryside away from the port in Chora which we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. We’re so glad we booked this tour! Other people in our group also expressed what a nice tour it was. Thank you very much to our wonderful guide, as well as our excellent driver for a truly amazing and unforgettable day!!!
