Naxos Private Tours |

Greek legend tell us that ungrateful Theseus abandoned Ariadne on the island of Naxos after she rescued him from the Cretan Minotaur; turns out it wasn't such a bad fate, as the island is one of the most fertile and lovely in the Cyclades, producing a bounty of olives, grapes, figs, and citrus fruits. Take a private Naxos tour and learn more about the island's charms with a friendly local guide.
Start your day with a visit to the historic and atmospheric village of Halki, where you can taste the region's famous kitron liqueur, which is still made using an ancient distilling process. Wander the stone streets, shop for crafts and pay a visit to a Byzantine church. See the 17th century tower of Bazeos Castle, and enjoy a modern exhibition or reading in its medieval-inspired rooms. Perhaps pay a visit to the local museum in the beautiful mountain village of Apiranthos. If it's a hot day, your guide may suggest a swim along Naxos' golden West Coast.
Enjoy your private Naxos tour! |

| Tour Guide Legal Requirements |
If the nature of the tour is that the guide is 'interpreting the cultural and natural heritage of an area', Greece requires the guide have a guiding license. A person giving tours such as the 'best nightlife spots', 'shopping and fashion tour' or 'restaurant tour' for example, does not require a license. This definition follows the European standard for tour guiding (CEN).
Licensed Tourist Guides are the only professionals permitted to conduct tours in all sites and museums within a city. Licensed guides are required in those areas where the local authorities state that one of them is mandatory.
To become a Licensed Tourist Guide, candidates must pass an examination given by the local public tourist authorities. report error
All ToursByLocals guides have met our ToursByLocals Guide Requirements which includes warranting that they can legally give the tours they offer. |
