Description
A Journey Through History & Tradition of Timeless Naxos. Venture beyond the sandy beaches and modern Greek life to discover the untouched heart of Naxos’ mainland, where time seems to stand still. Serene green valleys, picturesque villages, and the warm hospitality of the locals make Naxos one of Greece’s best-kept secrets. Step back in time at a 16th-century olive press in the village of Damalas, where tradition and craftsmanship endure. Stroll through the charming village of Halki, once the island’s bustling trade and cultural center. In Filoti, wander through the old market of Fasolas, a beautifully restored neighborhood that offers a glimpse into life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Continue your journey to the mountain village of Apeiranthos, where locals take pride in preserving its deep-rooted traditions. Finally, explore the ancient Temple of Demeter, dedicated to the goddess of agriculture, harvest, and fertility—an architectural masterpiece built a century before the Parthenon in the 6th century B.C. Experience the rich history, culture, and timeless beauty of Naxos on this unforgettable journey.
