What people are saying about Naxos Town

This was an amazing experience on our honeymoon! My husband and I rode moped's to the family tavern, where the host Anna greeted us and invited us to the table. There were 5 other guests with us and we had a fabulous time! We walked through the farm and cut the veggies we were going to use for cooking. After prepping the meal, learning about the history of the farm, and putting the dishes in the oven - we took our wine and walked along the hiking trail nearby which was stunning. Upon return - we feasted and shared more stories! The food was delicious, the wine was flowing and the conversation was enjoyable - I highly recommend it! My husband and I both agree that this was our top experience during our two-week honeymoon.

Nice easy ferry ride over to the island! We spent the day eating our way through Mykonos and got tattoos! Perfect amount of time to enjoy the city!

Enjoyed a day on the sea on a beautiful catamaran! We enjoyed snacks and a wonderful lunch as well. Would highly recommend this trip.

The Guide Nicholas was really interesting and dynamic!! Thanks to the driver Mike and Nicholas for this great day ☺️
