Overview

Embark on a guided hike through the enchanting area of Flerio, home to two ancient statues. After a short scenic drive from Naxos Town or another pick-up location, arrive in this fertile valley filled with sycamore trees, olive groves, and citrus orchards.

Discover the Kouros of Farangi and the Kouros of Flerio—impressive ancient statues dating back to the 6th century BC. Continue your hike westward to explore the ruins of the 17th-century Jesuit Palace, nestled between Melanes and Potamia.

Wander through the charming villages of Potamia, known for their lush, tropical-like landscape, serene creek, and verdant orchards. Along the way, visit Koko’s Tower, a fascinating Venetian structure hidden among the greenery.

Conclude your hike through peaceful olive groves, returning with lasting impressions of history, nature, and local charm.
