Naxos Private Villages & Shepherd Hut Experience

What your day looks like

Discover the authentic side of Naxos on this private guided tour through traditional villages and rural landscapes. Begin your journey in Kaloxylos, a peaceful village where you will visit a historic building that once housed the island’s first electric company and oil press. Enjoy a tasting of extra virgin olive oil and explore the charming alleys of this small settlement. Continue to Filoti, one of the island’s most vibrant villages. Visit its central church, walk past the Venetian Barozzi Tower, and stroll through the picturesque neighborhood of Fasolas. Along the way, explore traditional shops such as a grocer, barber, tailor, smith, and carpenter, while learning about both past and modern local life. End your experience at a traditional shepherd’s hut (“mitato”), where you will tour the farm, taste fresh products directly from the source, and learn about traditional wine and honey production methods. Interact with farm animals and visit a small collection of traditional tools before enjoying a full Mediterranean brunch made from local ingredients. This experience offers a genuine insight into the daily life, culture, and hospitality of Naxos.
