Go beyond
And explore the authentic dramatic islands of Naxos, Paros, Koufonisia, Schinousa and Herakleia with their ochre hills and plunging coastlines, whitewashed villages and a good dose of sophistication and stylish culture.
When is it best to travel?
Late April to mid-October. Skip August, to avoid the strong prevailing winds, which keep the temperature at a comfortable level but prevent you from enjoying the sea as a travel experience.
Is this trip for me?
If you are looking for authentic experiences, then you definitely need to look into this destination. Couples, families and small groups of people can adjust their program to their needs!
Put on your comfortable shoes
To discover the calmer atmosphere of the medieval city of Naxos, unrivalled Byzantine footpaths in Paros with breathtaking landscapes, stunning sugar cube like, medieval villages, impressive ruins scattered in the islands, rare Byzantine churches in the Tragaia olive groves, old quarries in Koronos and Marathi.
Watch your toes disappear
Under the cinnamon sand and ink blue sea. Lay back and relax without much thought to the past and present, while on long undisturbed beaches surrounded by cedar trees.
Get ready
For an overly generous hospitality, for large quantities of home-cooked food and for endless fill-ups of “raki”, you will echo back the word “ya’mas” (meaning “cheers” in Greek).
Ready to set sail
For a 2-day cruise around Heraclea and Schinoussa islands, a unique journey to impressive island landscapes, untouched coves with sandy beaches, clear azure waters and tiny villages with an authentic Cycladic atmosphere.
Don’t tell anyone about the unknown side of Cyclades you just discovered!
Once you are back you will fear that the “newcomers” will disturb the unhurried charm.
