Spend the morning on this private tour connecting with the authentic local life of Naxos, far beyond mass tourism and staged experiences. It is often said that people in rural Greece live longer thanks to their active daily routines, generous use of olive oil, fresh non-processed foods and a slow-paced lifestyle that promotes low stress and wellbeing.
The experience begins with a scenic drive inland through Naxos, passing the island's oldest olive grove, home to olive trees over 800 years old. Along the way, discover the flavors, food traditions and culinary identity of the island. Arrival is in the unspoiled, off-the-beaten-path village of Kaloxylos, where time seems to stand still. Stroll through picturesque alleyways leading to a 100-year-old olive press factory, where centuries-old traditions come to life through olive oil tastings and insights into traditional olive-pressing techniques.
Following local tradition, take time to relax outdoors with a glass of local wine and farm-to-table finger foods, including Naxos' famous cheeses. The journey continues on foot through olive grove fields, hiking in a peaceful natural environment while learning about the historic presence of olive trees on the island, modern harvesting methods and the nutritional benefits of olive oil - often called "liquid gold".
The nature walk leads to Chalkio, the charming former capital of Naxos. Here, enjoy a memorable Mediterranean gastronomy experience featuring traditional dishes, local wine and a homemade dessert. The revitalizing morning concludes with a visit to a family-run liquor distillery over 120 years old, where the island's signature digestive drink is served.
