Explore Naxos live with a local

Sessions run live, not as a recording: you join at a time in your own time zone, and the guide follows whatever you want to see or ask about. Chora is worth asking about: the port town built around the Venetian Kastro, with Portara visible across the harbour.

Every date has a minimum group size: if it does not fill up, it is cancelled and you are refunded in full automatically. Small groups, real answers, no script.

How long does a session last?

Between 0.5 and 1.5 hours, depending on the guide and the topic.

What if I lose connection partway through?

Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up.
