1st July - Ferry to Naxos, afternoon orientation tour of the old town✨

This morning we drive to Parikia to catch the ferry to the island of Naxos - the largest and some would argue the most beautiful of the Cyclades. The god Dionysus is believed to have lived on the island and taught the inhabitants to cultivate wine, which still has an excellent reputation today.

At the entrance to the harbour sits the grand Portara stone that has greeted visitors for over 2500 years.

The town itself is a mix of whitewashed houses and medieval Venetian mansions, with the fortified 'kastro' (castle) occupying a prominent position overlooking the bay.

We will have lunch in town after which we will be shown around the network of alleyways and courtyards, as well as the kastro before returning to our hotel later in the afternoon.

Meals: breakfast + lunch + dinner

Delightful 🥰

28th June Coastal walk and tour of the island 4-10km + evening ferry to Paros✨

We begin by taking a public bus to Azolimnos. This walk gives you an excellent taste of the island's scenery.

Once you arrive in Vari you can enjoy a swim or relax on the beach.

Optional coastal walk: 6km walk
Take in the great views from the lighthouse we continue onto Khroussa, Agathopes and Mega Gialos, allowing you to see more of the islands scenery.

After lunch we undertake a bus tour of the island which includes sampling loukoumi, the Greek sweet that is similar to Turkish Delight and a walk to Ano Syros - built onto a hill with its tiered white and sand coloured buildings rising up to the Capuchin Church at the very top.
Later this afternoon we drive to Ermoupoli, where we will have dinner before we board the ferry this evening to Paros. There is only one ferry between the islands that departs around 9pm and on arrival we will transfer to our hotel in Drios, arriving around midnight.

Meals – Breakfast, lunch + dinner

25th June - Athens
Arrive in Athens. The city is a heady mix of ancient and modern, having been the capital of Greece for less than 200 years, but with a history dating back over 3,000 years. We will meet our private guide at 7.30pm where we will head out for our welcome dinner.
Meals: dinner
