Full description
The tour commences at a family-owned farm located near the village of Melanes. To begin with, guests will have the opportunity to meet a diverse range of farm animals, including chickens, rabbits, pigs, peacocks, and more. You will also have the opportunity to engage in collecting the day's freshly laid eggs. Following that, a visit to the olive groves will allow you to learn about the methods employed to cultivate healthy trees and produce top-quality olive oil. Subsequently, we will guide you through the potato fields, introducing you to the renowned Naxian potato. You will then have the chance to explore various fruit trees, sampling the delicious seasonal fruits they yield. Next on the itinerary is a visit to the vineyard and vegetable garden, where you can gather the finest seasonal produce. Finally, you will collaborate in cooking traditional Naxian recipes over a wood fire. This culinary adventure will include preparing a Naxian omelet and an appetizer such as zucchini balls, savoring Naxian potatoes, sampling a variety of Naxos cheeses, preparing a main dish such as "briam" or "gemista" and enjoying locally produced house wine. To top it off, you will have the opportunity to taste a spoonful of our homemade fruit preserves. We kindly request the guests to refrain from having a substantial breakfast as the farm owners will be providing them with a treat. To conclude, If you're in the mood for some fun, they can even partake in lively traditional Naxian dances together!

Niko walked us around his family farm. We meet with the chickens and animals and also made us try the very nice grapes! We learned how to make zucchini balls, tzatziki and briam with her grand mother. His family were also there and he also taught us some basic Greek dance all together with the other guests. Loved it and this was my favourite experience in Naxos so far!

What a great experience for me and my daughter (20y). Our incredibly sympathetic host Nik first showed us, a group of eight, around the farm, showed and explained animals and plants and let us taste different delicious fruits. We collected eggs and vegetables, then his wife served us wonderful Greek coffee or frappé. Then we prepared several typical greek dishes together, which were then cooked picturesquely on a wood fire oven beside a lemontree. It was insane fun and also a great opportunity to meet interesting people from all over the world (in our case NY ❤️ and New Jersey). When I booked I thought it would be expensive, but we got so much for it and we will have fond memories of this day and will certainly use the recipes at home. The dishes were delicious. Thanks a lot to Nik and his nice family and highly recommended!

This was the highlight of out stay in Naxos!! Nikos and his Grandma Ana were fab hosts, we learnt so much as we toured the farm to collect the fresh ingredients to cook. We had such fun preparing everything and seeing it cook in the wood oven, we then sat and ate the fruit of our labour, looking out over the beautiful view and drinking home made wine. Nikos and his family, we will remember always. This is a must do experience if you are in Naxos, we enjoyed it so much that we would go back again if in Naxos
