5.00Anastasia is the best guide. It was wonderful to understand Naxos Town better and getting to know her. The food we prepared was some of the best we had in our week in Greece. We really enjoyed the custom tzatziki.
Lovely way to spend time in Naxos

5.00An excellent day seeing areas of Chora on Naxos we had not visited before. Anastasia was a great guide she was very knowledgeable and informative. We had fun choosing the fruit and vegetables for our lunch, a great visit and tasting at the cheese shop and lots of fun cooking with Miss Mimosa. We all sat together and enjoyed a lovely lunch after of the food we had prepared and some cooked by the taverna. After that we visited the liqueur shop for a tasting. I cannot recommend this more highly
Wonderful tour and culinary class

5.00Anastasia was wonderful! She was knowledgeable and spoke lovingly of Naxos’s history and tradition. We enjoyed the cheese tasting and special drink of Naxos. The highlight was cooking with a Greek “mama”! Anastasia took pictures throughout our tour and has offered to help us out with any questions during our stay. She is the truest example of Greek hospitality. We highly recommend this trip!
Unforgettable Experience in Naxos!

5.00Anastasia was an incredible guide. Warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing her love for Naxos. Walking through the charming streets of Chora, visiting the market, cooking with Miss Mimosa (the sweetest lady ever), and sharing a delicious meal afterwards made the whole day feel like spending time with family. It was the perfect blend of culture, history, and food. Worth every minute and every penny! Book this tour at the start of your stay to truly appreciate everything this incredible island has to offer.
