This walking food tour was unique! Not only did we get to experience local Naxos food, our guide, Liana, showed us local points of interest and history of the island. The food we sampled was excellent and finished with a huge spread that included a 5 courses. Very much worth it!

My wife and I traveled to Naxos as part of our honeymoon and this food tour was the highlight of our time here! Maria Daphne was an amazing guide, so kind and knowledgeable. She even gave us a special olive oil tasting in her daughter’s gallery which was such a treat! The family style dinner was one of our favorites. The food was truly incredible and it was so nice to chat with our group members and Maria Daphne and get to know everyone while enjoying great food. I would absolutely recommend this tour!

First night in Naxos and in Greece was great. Despite having been up for more than 24 hrs getting to Naxos from the US we truly enjoyed the walk through Chora and getting our first taste of Greece. Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative. History of Naxos and the broader Cyclades islands was great!
