About this experience
You will relax from the daytime hustle and bustle and walk along cozy city streets in the magical sunset light. I will tell you how the blooming Naxos emerged and why it bears this name. I will show you ancient churches, monuments, fortresses, and share the most interesting facts about the life of the local population!
What to expect
Giardini-Naxos yesterday and today
You will see all the main attractions of the amazing seaside town: the Schiso Castle, which saved the settlement from pirate raids, the 17th-century statue of St. Pancras and the church of the same name, famous for its magnificent frescoes and paintings. In addition, I will show you the archaeological park, a sculpture of a mermaid, a column from the Roman era, and the main local symbol - the unusual monument of Nike di Kalkis, erected in honor of the friendship with the Greek city of Chalcis.
Idyllic walk and stories about local life
Giardini-Naxos is famous not only for its rich history and ancient architecture but also for its magnificent landscapes. You will walk along its amazing promenade, feel the port atmosphere of the city, breathe the fresh air, and enjoy the view of the azure sea. And I will tell you about Sicilian life, mentality, traditions, and habits of the islanders and help you immerse yourself in the local color.
