Organic Naxos cooking class at Basiliko, picking farm ingredients, learning Greek dishes, then feasting with wine and music.

“Fabulous experience! We not only got to cook and eat lots of delicious food, but also toured the family farm, learned about agriculture in the region, and got to dance and break plates after dinner (and plenty of wine). Keep in mind that the location is out in the countryside, and you will need to arrange for a ride if you don't have a car.”

11.All-Inclusive Catamaran Day Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 394 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $181.48

All-inclusive Naxos catamaran cruise with snorkeling gear, multiple swim stops, and a traditional Greek lunch plus drinks.

“Amazing experience. We had 21 guests on the boat. It didn’t feel cramped and once everyone spread out it was nice. We had delicious food and our captain and first mate made sure our needs were attended too. Each stop we got to swim for about an hour that was perfect. The water was clear and it was fun to make new friends. It’s not a negative but, this a motor sail excursion. I assumed it was a full sailing trip. With the jib out and motor running you do get a little experience of sailing.”

They were very knowledgeable about the area and took us to several unique swimming locations chosen based on that day’s weather/wind conditions. The crew was also very attentive, continuously providing us drinks/snacks and answering questions any of us had. The price was definitely worth 7 hours of relaxing boating/swimming, and we would absolutely book again if we come back to Naxos.”
