10 Day Trips from in Naxos That You Shouldn't Miss

May 20, 2022 Madelene Haan

A spot of white in the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea, the island of Naxos is a unique blend of ancient ruins and beach culture. The largest of the Cycladic Islands, Naxos is the childhood home of none other than Zeus, king of the gods. Upon arrival in Naxos, hike over a causeway to Palatia, where the Portara, a stone gateway to an ancient temple that no longer exists, stands alone, the symbol of the island. At sunset, the views of the island, and the sea beyond, are breathtaking.

We had the best day on the daytime semi private cruise. Unbelievably due to the current Covid situation there was just us and one other couple on board. Christina and the crew were all great and couldn’t do enough for us. Free flowing beer, wine and soft drinks. Appetisers served up before the most amazing lunch. Would highly recommend and Christina you did a truly fantastic job.

Whoever called this a walk didn't walk the caldera hike. This is a tough 6 mile up and down over some significant hills. In some places, it is a bit dangerous, and definitely not suitable for children. Having said this, the views are spectacular and well worth the effort.

We had such an amazing time! Jerome and Debbie are wonderful hosts and exceeded our expectations. The trip was so relaxing and fun at the same time. Food was very good! The three stops we had were all amazing and we could swim and snorkel as much as we liked. Debbie and Jerome also took very nice photos of us. We were very lucky to see a Dolphin! Thanks so much for the best experience!

Me and my husband had a fabulous experience with this private tour!! Our guide Danai and our personal chauffeur John were absolutely professional, had huge knowledge about the highlights and created a unique travel experience for us! We went to the most famous spots in Santorini but we were also shown the secret hidden places which are not so touristic. Both could answer any question we had at any time and were super prepared. We were offered fresh cold beverages, a cool van and on top our guide Danai took several pictures of us :) Everything was flexible because our tour was tailor made. I highly recommend this tour to everyone who is looking for a five-star, unique tour to get to know the whole island of Santorini. Thank you so much Danai and John!!
