Naxos Hiking Tours
Kinidaros - Eggares
Riverbed, turtles, crabs- Distance 10 Km
- Walking time 4h
- Difficultly 3/5
5. Kinidaros (riverbed) - Eggares
Firstly we go to Kinidaros Village where our hike starts, walking through the village we go up some stairs to our left, past the elementary school until we leave the village behind us.
Following a farm road and a sidewalk which leads to the riverbed, this hidden Oleander Paradise is an ideal place for us to pause awhile.
I must add a word of warning that whilst Oleanders are pretty they are also known to be extremely toxic, even to touch.
When ready we will continue partly along the river bed and also ancient paths until we reach the second special place. Break Time to enjoy the rather nice company of the “River Turtle Family”.
«A lovely Trek along different terrain including a riverbed, its passage towards the sea and its life sustaining occupants.»

Thank you Stella you are a true gem to the island of Naxos.

Highly Recommended
Fantastic day with Stella on the 7 village hike/aroma therapy tour! What a great way to get off the road and experience Stella's beloved Island with all 5 senses. If you take this 6+ hour tour please adhere to Stella's advice and be in shape, bring drinking water and wear appropriate shoes/clothing but don't worry, Stella will keep an eye on you an make sure you are "Ola Kala"!!!

Stella is STELLAR!
Stella is stellar! By that we mean that she is like a star—bright, clear, sparkly, illuminating, ray of light, etc. Stella knows Greece intimately and brought us into its long history and current culture. Along her walks, she knows all people, flowers, and fauna; and she shares them with knowledge, tenderness, and adoration. She has a deep appreciation of the fruits of the land and their meaning for the Greek way of living healthy and joyously. She knows just where the most special villages are and how to enjoy them. Within these villages, she makes it easy to get into “spiritual community” with today’s Greece: which tavernas have delicious food and exactly which stores and art gallery (Fish & Olive) would (and did) appeal to us. Stella is friends with all owners, so she fosters connections and familiarity. Stella is an absolute “must” for those eager to “be” in today’s Greece. It was our good fortune to be guided by the stellar guide--bright, clear, sparkly, illuminating, ray of light.

Amazing experience!
Hiking with Stella was an amazing experience! We did the Seven villages hike, which is about eight miles, 5+ hours. Stella is incredibly knowledgeable about the local plants, history, industries and archaeology. The scenery was diverse as we walked through several different kinds of landscapes. The meal at the end was divine. Definitely a highlight of our Greece adventure.

Unforgettable
Recently on Naxos. My husband and I planned to hike. Initially, was just going to go by ourselves. However, I saw a post about Naxos hiking with Stella Korre. SO GLAD WE WENT WITH HER!! Her affection for her island is infectious, her knowledge of Naxos and Greek history is captivating, as well as her knowledge of the plants and their uses throughout Naxos history is so interesting! We would have had a good hike, exercise wise, and seen the sights but would have not experienced the hike with all senses as Stella taught us to do. ... Stella is also adorable, so hire a local girl to take you around Naxos hills and villages!! ... OUTSTANDING DAY WITH STELLA!!

Amazing hiking experiences and outstanding guide
Our first hike with Stella was so amazing that we did two more hikes with her during our visit to Naxos--we hiked through the mountains to the beach, to the waterfall, and around the Seven Villages. Stella teaches you about Greek life and culture, the fruits and herbs along the way, the landscape and architecture--a total Greek immersion experience! And at the end of every hike was lunch at a local taberna with authentic Greek food and wine. I would go back to Naxos just to hike with Stella.

Amazing Hike on Naxos
What an amazing hike. When visiting Naxsos hiking with Stella is a must. Stella is a caring and knowledgeable guide.The views of the mountains, the plants along the way and finally the beautiful swim and lunch at the end was memorable. We will definitely do another hike the next time we are in Naxsos.

Beautiful hikings
I really enjoyed this 2 days walking with Stella, I did 2 différents hikings , one through 7 beautiful villages of Naxos island. Stella knows about medicinal plants and tells stories about the history of the island. The second hiking is a fantastic way from the village of Koronos to the bay of lyonas. Stella is well organized I really had pleasure with her.

Koronos to Liona Bay Hike
We had a wonderful day with Stella. She picked us up at the hotel in Ágios Prokopios and then drove us to Koronos where the hiking started. The marble path is fantastic! Stella makes us feel very relaxed, shows the different villages surrounding the area and provides a lot of “aromatherapy” experiences with the herbs that grow in the area.

Want to find the real Naxos? Ask Stella.
My wife and I have been coming to the blessed island of Naxos for 10 years. This year we decided we must make more of an effort to discover more of the island. Stella is a local lady who gave us a brilliant waterfall walk. She is awesome. Knowlegable about everything Naxos, including plants and herbs founds on the walk. Ignore the rest, choose the best... Stella.
