Description
Far from the sandy beaches and the modern Greek life, Naxos mainland stands untouched by time. Serene green valleys, picturesque villages, hospitable people and much more justify why Naxos is Greece’s best kept secret. Visit the archaic temple of Goddess Demeter which was built a hundred years prior to the Parthenon, as well as the “Kouros” of Flerio, an unfinished, 6.5-meter-long monumental statue of the 6th century B.C. The tour continues with a visit to the Byzantine chapel of “Panagia Drosiani” which was built in the 6th century A.D. and the 16th century olive press in the village of Damalas. Finally, you will discover the village of Halki which used to be the trade and cultural center of the island 60 years ago and finally, the mountain village of Apeiranthos whose residents take pride in referring to it as the most traditional village of Naxos.
