The visit includes a guided tasting of premium extra virgin olive oils and a selection of delicacies inspired by one of Naxos’ most important agricultural treasures.
Your final destination is Apiranthos, often referred to as the "Marble Village" due to its distinctive architecture and marble-paved streets.
