About Us
At Philema, we share the Naxos we know. Ιts people, its traditions, and its flavours.
Inspired by the Greek word philema, the simple act of offering a bite or a sip as a gesture of warmth, our experiences are rooted in genuine hospitality and human connection.
Our tours are led by locals who open their homes, fields, vineyards, and workshops, inviting you to experience island life as it is truly lived. From mountain villages and fertile valleys to family-run farms and age-old crafts, each journey unfolds at a natural pace, guided by the rhythms of the land and its people.
No filters, no staging, just honest, carefully curated experiences shaped through food, culture, and traditions passed down through generations. Working closely with small local producers and artisans, we support sustainable practices that honour Naxos without altering it.
With Philema, every bite carries meaning and every encounter brings you closer to the true essence of the island.

Authentic local experience ! This tour was an amazing experience. My husband and I loved every second of it. The tour guide and driver were so accommodating. We spent some time on a local farm participating in a cooking class and enjoyed a delicious meal with the local family. We then got to experience a wonderful visit to a local vineyard, where the food and wine was delicious.

The PERFECT food tour in Naxos! One of the best tours we’ve ever done! The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, professional and passionate. You learn so much about not only the food but about the history and culture of Naxos. The best part is that you’re supporting small local businesses. Couldn’t recommend this tour enough! Happy travels 😄 read moreread lessDerek H 11 months ago
Beautiful views, kind people, delicious foods, and seeing the "real" Greece, we highly recommend! Wow! we absolutely loved our tour in the country away from the crowds. Our guides Dimitri and Alexi were fun and knowledgeable. The scenery was beautiful and we went to a farm where Maria had prepared delicious traditional food for us! We learned about cheese making and enjoyed the cute and friendly animals on this family farm. After the farm, we went to a vineyard and learned about the history of the area and the wine making process. We sampled the wines made there along with delicious food. It was a fun day with great local people!If you are looking for beautiful views, kind people, and delicious foods, and seeking the "real" Greece, we highly recommend this tour! read moreread less
