About This Tour

Naxos is the biggest and the greenest island in the Cyclades. It has high mountains, fertile valleys, lush green gorges, stunning seascapes and traditional villages perched high on mountain tops, where the inhabitants still wear their traditional dress and live off the fruits of the land. Naxos is also home to beautiful old churches, monasteries and Venetian castles coexisting harmoniously with the Cycladic architecture.

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS

Naxos: Agios Prokopios is renowned for its long stretch of beach, big crowds, and various tourism industry distinctions. Agia Anna, which has developed into one of the island’s most cosmopolitan beaches, is organized and features beach bars. Plaka beach, also a very well-known spot, is a major draw for water sport enthusiasts. Mikri Vigla attracts surfers (windsurfing and kite surfing), as does Agios Georgios beach, close to Hora, the main town.

Our group had an unforgettable experience soaking in the stunning beaches and exploring the charming villages of this hidden gem. Each day brought new adventures, from sipping local wine in quaint tavernas to swimming in crystal-clear waters that felt like a dream. The only hiccup was a bit of a rush during the last day’s activities, but the breathtaking sunsets and warm hospitality made it all worthwhile.

Naxos completely exceeded my expectations, especially the stunning beaches that felt like a hidden paradise. While the local meals were a delightful mix of flavors, I found myself wishing for a bit more time in the charming villages to soak in the culture.

Naxos in Greece was a refreshing escape filled with stunning beaches and charming traditional villages. Each day unfolded like a postcard, with opportunities to explore hidden coves and sample local dishes like moussaka and creamy tzatziki at cozy tavernas. However, I did find the itinerary a bit packed at times, which left me yearning for more leisurely moments to soak up the scenery. The locals were incredibly welcoming, and their stories added depth to my adventure. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to unwind in a picturesque setting.

Strolling through the quaint streets of a traditional village on Naxos was a highlight of my trip; the authentic charm of the locals and their warm hospitality made me feel right at home. I spent my evenings unwinding on stunning beaches, soaking in breathtaking sunsets that painted the sky in vibrant hues. While I loved every moment, the pace felt a bit hurried on the last day, leaving me wishing I had more time to explore the hidden gems of this beautiful island.
