Had no idea that there was so much more to Naxos island. This tour is perfect to show more to the island than just the port. Saw ancient temples, marble villages, local produce and much more.

George did a fantastic job showing me the island. He was early the car was spotless. His knowledge of the island and its history was impressive. Great way to experience Naxos. I’ve rented cars to tour other islands this was so much easier. I was able to enjoy the views and the countryside and not wondering if I was going in the right direction. I highly recommend George and the tour.
