4-Day Relaxing Naxos Experience - Greece

Today you’ll take to the sea and sail to Naxos, the largest Cyclades island, where we’ll arrange a transfer for you to your family run hotel just south of Naxos town. Within walking distance you will find the most beautiful sandy beaches, which is most people’s main reason to come to Naxos. In the evening, you have a variety of Greek cuisine at your mercy, from the meaty delight of pita gyros, freshly prepared fish or a salad bursting with locally-sourced feta.

You’ll have the next couple of days free to do as your please, so after breakfast this morning, put your feet up, relax and unwind on the wide sandy beach that’s just minutes from your hotel. Sit with a cooling iced coffee in hand, feeling like a Greek God and maybe even treat yourself to a Loukoumadis – a kind of Greek donut. The following day, head out to discover the beauty this island has and take a fulfilling hike. Unlike most other parts of the Cyclades, the interiors of Naxos are rich with vegetation, making it a hiker’s paradise with stunning views throughout. Rent a car and drive into the interior in search of small, traditional villages, including Filoti with a cozy village square and Apiranthos where backgammon is often played in the street.

It is now time to leave Naxos, but that doesn’t mean your time in Greece has to come to an end. If you want to include several islands in your trip, then sail by ferry to Amorgos and its ancient monastery or head to the more touristy, but popular for a reason, Santorini.
