Naxos Island - Wine & Mythology Sunset Tour

Check out from your hotel and meet your driver for a private transfer to the airport for your flight to Naxos. Upon arrival, a transfer will take you to your hotel. The drive offers a first look at Naxos, known for its beaches, rolling hills, and historic landmarks. The island’s ancient ruins and distinctive architecture reflect centuries of tradition. In the early evening, meet at the Naxos port area for a private wine and mythology sunset tour. Walk along the coastal path of Naxos Town as your guide shares stories of the Olympian gods, Odysseus, and Poseidon. Continue to the medieval castle, where you will enjoy a glass of honey-cinnamon raki with panoramic views. The walk then leads downhill through the old town, passing Venetian-era landmarks and narrow alleyways. As the sun sets, visit a local wine bar for two glasses of Naxian wine paired with artisanal cheeses. Your guide will discuss Dionysus, the god of wine, and his influence on local culture. The tour ends at the Portara, the marble gateway of the Temple of Apollo, before returning to your hotel.
