Vacation rentals in Naxos

We'll set sail in the morning from naxos main port to the small cyclades. Where exactly ? Shhhhut, that's a secret! You don't want to end up with other boats around us while you swim, do you? They will scare all the fishes! Expect some secluded beaches, turquoise shallow water, and a lot of fun! We will do three stops during the day for snorkeling and exploring the area (and to eat too!). Each has a particularity, either it's the colour of the water, it's tranquility, or its abundant sea life. Be prepared to swim, sail, relax and loose track! We will spend a beautiful day at sea getting back to Naxos main port around 6:00-6:30pm Other things to note If the weather is not good enough to fully enjoy the day, we will reschedule our activity. If you can't make it, we will refund you. No hassle. To protect you & local communities from the spread of COVID-19, we put in place a comprehensive set of measures, including reducing our capacity by 20%.

You will meet me under an olive tree where I will have work tables, blocks of crystalline white marble of Naxos, and a sets of locally forged tools. I will share with you a brief history of marble arts, introduce different types of tools, and discuss the properties of marble and other stones. I will guide you thru the use and the traditional hand carving technique of each tool. You will practice with each tool on a block of marble for a period of time. When you have "mastered" each tool we will proceed to design and create a relief sculpture that you can then take home with you. It can be an Archaic Greek design from one of my templates or and idea that you have brought with you. I will work with you on the approach, process, and execution of the piece. I take my work seriously, but also embrace a fun and relaxed environment in the peaceful settings of our garden. After three hours of immersing yourself with the stone you will have an understanding of traditional carving techniques and process of marble sculpture. Absolutely no experience is necessary even if you are someone who says, "I have no artistic talent", the techniques and skills can be learned. Other things to note To make it easier, I will meet you on the main road just as you reach the village of Eggares from Chora. There is a small intersection where you will find the old s

Whether you are experienced with photoshoots or this will be your first time, this experience is perfectly suitable for you! We'll meet in the center of Naxos town and together we have a walk trough the beautiful alleys of the old town. While we walk to our first stop for the shooting I will tell you the history of this beautiful castle area. All you have to do is be yourself and enjoy the moment. I will take care of capturing you in beautiful, natural and spontaneous ways. Afterwards, while you are enjoying the rest of your trip, I'll edit your pictures. You'll receive the best pictures in a digital format (JPEG). I usually take a lot of pictures so expect at least 30 professionally shot and edited pictures of you in this magical island. Let me be your own personal Photographer and turn your regular photos into super fun experience to take home as a souvenir to be remembered forever!! Of course also tailor made shootings are available
