Our trip starts in Paros.
You can reach the island by plane or by ferry, with several departures available depending on the season. The ferry ride takes about three to five hours and brings you straight into the heart of the Aegean. Once you arrive, a short transfer takes you to your hotel in Naousa, one of the loveliest seaside towns in the Cyclades.
The rest of the day is yours to explore Paros, wander through Naousa, or spend some time by the sea.
Overnight in Paros Island.
Our day begins with a drive to the traditional village of Lefkes, where we’ll wander through its narrow streets and alleys lined with whitewashed houses. From there, we’ll set off on a hike along the island’s most well-known route, the herb-scented Byzantine Way. This historic path, constructed during Byzantine times, once served as part of a central road that traversed the entire island. The route takes about an hour and a half, offering a pleasant walk through the Parian countryside, with just a few gentle uphill sections, making it accessible to everyone. Our hike ends in the village of Prodromos, where a traditional Greek coffee and local sweets offer a warm and relaxed finish to the experience.
Overnight in Paros.
A wonderful day of fun and relaxation awaits aboard a traditional boat. We’ll discover the caves of Mastichari, where bright white rock formations and small openings create a unique coastal landscape to experience. You can swim, float in the bright blue water of the Blue Lagoon, or snorkel and enjoy the calm sea.
Fresh local food and drinks will be served onboard, with plenty of time to enjoy the sun and the breeze. It’s a day to slow down, connect with nature and the people you’re traveling with. A day to remember!
Overnight in Paros.
After breakfast, you’ll be transferred from your hotel to the port of Paros to board the ferry to Naxos, the largest and and most fertile of the Cycladic islands. Once you arrive, a short transfer will bring you to your hotel, giving you time to settle in. The rest of the day is free to enjoy Naxos in your own way.
Overnight in Naxos.
Enjoy your breakfast and then depart for your hike through three different villages, each with its own atmosphere and small details that make Naxos so special. Along the way, you’ll also come across local antiquities that highlight the island’s long history. At the end of your hike, you’ll visit a local distillery producing Kitron, Naxos’ citrus-based liqueur, where you can taste this specialty and discover the story behind it.
Overnight in Naxos.
After breakfast, set out on an unforgettable sea kayaking adventure, an eco-friendly and exciting way to explore Naxos’ intricate coastline from your kayak. Paddle through the crystal-clear, blue-green waters of the Aegean Sea and snorkel among vibrant marine life. Discover Rhina Cave, known for its delicate stalactite formations and enjoy homemade snacks prepared with local ingredients. End the day with a swim in quiet, boat-access beaches with clear blue water.
Overnight in Naxos.
Enjoy your final breakfast in Greece. Check-out is available until 11:00. A departure transfer will take you from your hotel to Naxos Airport or the port according to your travel plans.
