Meet your escort and driver right outside Naxos Port and explore the island's inland highlights in a comfortable, air-conditioned bus. Start at Demeter's Temple to see the restored sanctuary and the small on-site museum, then continue to Damalas village for a pottery workshop visit and a live demonstration on the wheel.
Next, enjoy about an hour of free time in Chalki to stroll the alleys, browse local shops, and optionally visit the Vallindras Kitron Distillery. You will then pass through olive groves to Panagia Drosiani for a photo stop (and a quick visit inside if open), before stopping near Kinidaros to photograph the contemporary marble quarries. Finish with a walk in Flerio Valley to see the famous Kouros statue among lush gardens.

Nice tour but pick up not organized!
October 26, 2023
The pick up is not organized. There are lots of busses and people and I had to ask around in the hot weather which was our bus. But once on board it was all good. Just the collection is not the best. This needs to be worked on.
