Public transportation options are available nearby. Suitable for all physical fitness levels. On Tuesdays and on the 1st of May the Temple of Demeter is closed and instead you will visit a traditional pottery workshop at the village of Damalas.. The tour guide is not licensed and thus not allowed to guide you inside Demeter's Temple and Panagia Drosiani Church. You will get all the information about the monuments before you enter.. This tour will take place rain or shine. The tour begins and ends right outside Naxos Port. Luggage storage is provided for the participants free of charge.. Pickup service (only-not dropoff) is provided for the guests who book the morning departure of 08.30. This service is available only from specific pickup spots in the areas of Plaka, Ag.Anna, Ag.Prokopios, Stelida and Naxos Town. Upon booking, please provide your accommodation info and you will be notified about the closest pickup spot to you.. You will have to climb steps and walk uphill in order to visit the Temple of Demeter. The Demeter's Temple closes early (noon) in case of predicted heat wave. In that case, the tour that departs in the afternoon (13.00) visits Damalas pottery workshop instead of Demeter's Temple. It is customary upon the visit to a church to donate a small amount of 1€-5€. These money are used for the operational costs of the church and very often for donations on behalf of the church to people/ families of the community that are in need.
