Naxos is the highest island in the Cyclades, crowned by Mount Zas at 1,003 metres, and has more villages than any other in the group. Its landscapes range from fertile valleys and terraced hillsides to rugged mountains and hidden beaches. A tour is one of the best ways to explore this variety, whether by bus, on foot, or along ancient hiking trails. You can also choose a private or shared tour.

Itineraries often include archaeological sites like the Temple of Demeter, Byzantine chapels with centuries-old frescoes, and mountain settlements such as Apeiranthos, Koronos, and Filoti. Some tours visit farms, distilleries, and traditional workshops, giving visitors a chance to see how local products such as cheese, pottery, and citron liqueur are made. Hiking routes follow historic paths once used by shepherds and merchants, leading to panoramic viewpoints and quiet chapels.

From short cultural walks to full-day island circuits, there is a tour for every pace and interest. Many operate year-round, with smaller groups in the cooler months of spring and autumn. Whether you’re travelling by bus, exploring on foot, or hiring a private guide, these tours offer an in-depth look at Naxos’s history, scenery, and living traditions.
