Visit the restored Demeter’s temple in Sangri from circa 530 B.C. and the museum with local findings. (Please note: The archaeological site of the Temple of Demeter is shut every Tuesday from the 1st of May 2022 and onwards. During our tour we will visit the site as you can actually see the temple from afar without needing to enter and your guide will give you all the historical details.)
Afterwards, we will take you to a typical Cycladic pottery workshop and a traditional olive press in Damalas Village. Here you will learn what sfouni or the cup of justice is.
Continue your tour to the oldest Citron distillery of the Naxos, dating back to 1896, in Halki. There, take the chance to taste the local Citron drink.
After that, visit Filoti village and Panagia Filotitissa, with a marble screen and a carved bell tower dating from 1801.
Then, a visit at Apeiranthos will give you the chance to see the famous marble village and shop in local traditional shops. The architectural design of the houses in Apeiranthos has remained almost untouched since the time of the Venetian Empire: narrow marble paved mule tracks, often covered by archways; Venetian defense towers which are exemplary of the fortifications architecture of the time; two-story stone houses with peculiar architectural details and tiny squares.
Last but not least we stop at Eggares olive press museum where you will gain precious insight into practices and a way of life that now belongs to the past now long gone.
Finish your tour as you head safely back to Naxos town after a memorable trip.

It is recommended to wear easy walking shoes because there are some specific areas where you may need to walk on uneven or rocky ground and comfortable clothes to feel relaxed and cooler especially during the summer months. Also if you are interested in visiting some religious monuments, please dress appropriately.
The private tour is hiring a car and a local assistant for a few hours to go and explore the island. But with “Cozy pickups” you will not only have a well- trained professional driver, but you will also have the opportunity to learn some very interesting information about the heritage, the culture and history of Santorini from a “friend”
