Step into the mythical world of ancient Greece on this half-day mythology tour through the heart of Naxos, an island long celebrated as the playground of the gods. Traveling through rolling hills, rocky slopes and fertile plains, you'll uncover legendary stories woven into the island's monuments, landscapes and local flavors. Guided by an expert storyteller, myths of Olympian gods, heroic figures and timeless love stories come vividly to life.
Your journey begins at the Sanctuary of Demeter, dramatically set above the fertile Sangri plain. Marvel at the elegant marble temple and learn about the goddess of agriculture, her sacred mysteries and the powerful myth of Persephone that explains the cycle of the seasons. From there, honor Zeus Xenios, god of hospitality, by enjoying a tasting of Naxos' treasured gifts, local cheeses, olives and wine, rooted in centuries-old traditions.
The experience continues at the Sanctuary of Dionysus, god of wine and ecstasy, nestled among vineyards, olive groves and fig trees. Here, you'll hear the enchanting love story of Dionysus and Ariadne, tales of ritual dances, harvest celebrations and ancient wine banquets once held on this sacred ground.
This immersive excursion blends mythology, nature and taste, offering a unique glimpse into the soul of Naxos, where ancient whispers still drift through the wind.
