What You Will Do
Join us to explore the meaning of the ancient word Methexis, which involves mental uplift, inner contact and outer communication.
An uplifting journey full of scents, myths and beautiful surroundings.
On the journey north, you'll visit the beautiful Byzantine church of Agios Mamas, known as the protector of shepherds. As you pedal your way to Halki, the artistic - and not only - capital of the island, you can choose to leave the bikes and take a leisurely walk through the village’s alleys and enjoy a sweet treat in one of the delightful cafes. Alternatively, your guide can conduct you on a 10-minute hike to one of Naxos' prettiest hidden Byzantine temples, situated in an area of amazing beauty.
Heading back will be something to look forward to as a local winery awaits. Unwind with a tasting of Naxos-produced wines, combined with extra virgin olive oil and fresh local cheese and vegetables - a truly divine tasting in a quaint and picturesque vineyard.
