Maria Daphne was an absolutely excellent tour guide, from history to culture to food! She took us to so many great places…a bakery, cheese shop, a rooftop to try a Naxian drink and dessert and then to a local restaurant for a full spread of Naxian salad, bread, tzakiki, olives, potatoes, soup, fried zucchini balls and more. Then we stopped for a surprise dessert and. After dinner drink. It was so much food and delicious!!!

Our tour guide showed us the little treasures of the island in about 3.5 hours. The tour consisted of a bit of history paired with local specialties and rounded off with wine. We highly recommend this tour. A little tip: if you take the tour at the beginning of your holiday in Naxos, you can benefit from their tips for longer
