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.

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 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.
