Experience Details

Stroll down the local neighborhoods of Chora, Naxos main town, and learn about local life. In the company of your guide, you’ll make the rounds of the local produce market the way the Naxos people do. Pick and choose your own local, fresh, seasonal produce, bursting with fragrances, colors, and flavor. You’ll be putting your vegetables to good use during the cooking course that will follow.


Your route will take you to the cobblestone maze-like alleys of the Chora castle. Visit local shops and sample different kinds of cheeses and liqueurs.

Your walk will end at a small traditional taverna where you’ll meet our talented chef. She will show you step by step, how to make traditional appetizers and the renowned Greek salad.


Next, comes the greatest part of the tour. We’ll all be sitting down to share the dishes you made yourself, along with another Greek traditional dish prepared by our chef. We’ll raise our glasses, toast each other, and enjoy a day spent in enjoying and experiencing.
