“Be prepared for a lot of curves, switch backs and tight corners. If you are affected by motion sickness, take something ahead of time. The guide could provide more information while travelling through the country side. Describing why all the rocks are piled in long rows, how the terraces were made, the significance of a church on the highest mountain peak, what activities do these tiny villages have after the tourist season, etc. Or perhaps make themselves available for questions while driving.”

“The half-day bus tour of Naxos with Alex was fantastic! The pace was quite brisk—no one would be bored, and I might even say it "left me wanting more" (maybe I should have done the full day!). Alex was very considerate of everyone's needs and struck a perfect balance between the island’s history and modern life. She’s friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience engaging and fun. Highly recommend for a quick yet rich overview of Naxos!”

Review of Naxos’ 7-hour shared catamaran cruise, with secluded beaches, snorkeling, local lunch, wine, beer, and practical booking advice.

“Went on this boat trip with my partner. It was a good day. We had nice lunch and snacks and the staff were very attentive. Down side for us was it was a 2.5 hr sail down to the south of the island and rina cave, where we stopped for a while for lunch and swimming. The beach wasnt very impressive and it seemed a long way to go just to see the cave, when we could have gone to somewhere prettier eg Fousonissi. We did stop for swims at Alykis and Mikra vigla on the way back which were nice. We realise we take a chance on boat trips…”
