Step into the green heart of Naxos and follow a scenic riverside trail through one of the islandâs most fertile valleys. This private experience takes you along shaded paths, traditional villages and water-rich landscapes that reveal a different side of the Cyclades.
Starting from Kourounochori, you walk beside old watermills and the remains of a historic aqueduct, discovering how water shaped local life for centuries. Along the way, you visit the area of Flerio, where you encounter the impressive unfinished archaic kouroi, monumental statues carved directly from marble.
As you continue through orchards and riverbanks, your guide shares stories about local ecology, agriculture and mythology, offering a deeper understanding of inland Naxos. The route combines gentle terrain with cultural landmarks, making it suitable for families and active travelers alike.
During the trek, you enjoy a break with local snacks, adding a tasteful pause to a journey that blends nature, history and authentic rural landscapes. This is a private guided experience designed for those who want to explore the lush, water-rich valley of central Naxos at their own pace, while discovering ancient marble sculptures and traditional watermills in a setting that feels far from the busy coastline.
Highly recommended. Our guide was a true expert. Not the normal! Very pretty scenes with flowers and hills
