Description
Experience the island’s authentic spirit through its land, its people, and its flavors. Your journey begins at a traditional olive press dating back to 1880. Here, you’ll taste a selection of exquisite olive oils and learn about the centuries-old methods that define Naxos’ most treasured ingredient. Continue to a family-run winery surrounded by the island’s fertile valleys. Enjoy a guided tasting of Naxian wines, each expressing the character of the soil and the warmth of the sun, while learning about the island’s growing winemaking tradition. From there, travel into the mountains to meet a local shepherd who still lives and works much as generations before him. Taste his handcrafted cheeses, and then be welcomed into his home
to share a homemade lunch prepared by his wife—a heartfelt meal made with ingredients from their own farm, served with the kind of hospitality that defines the Naxian way of life. A day that captures the true essence of Naxos—its simplicity, its generosity, and its deep connection to the land.
