A very special offer for a very special holiday experience. Dive head first into the local culture with an emphasis on the Cycladic feel of Naxos and Santorini. Your journey starts at the historical city of Athens, where the astonishing achievements of an ancient civilization take center stage and the city begs to be wandered and explored. Take advantage of your free time to stroll between contemporary buildings that lie adjacent to ancient temples. Visit stylish shops sprinkled amidst traditional markets. Taste local delicacies in cozy taverns or cosmopolitan restaurants. Enjoy the nightlife and exquisite wines in charming wineries and bars that seem to spring in every corner of the vibrant city that never sleeps.

Time to explore the islands, with Naxos setting the pace for what will prove to be a testament to relaxation. Taking a stroll through narrow streets of Chora will take you to fishing taverns, tiny art shops, picturesque chapels and delightful wineries. Whether you end up on a clearing up on hill with a view of the entire island or an unexpected cul-de-sac, the salty breeze will always remind you that the sea is very close. In Santorini, a sailing cruise will show you the truly rare geological formation of the caldera. As you sail where once a volcano stood, you will witness the magnificent Red Beach & White Beach. Back on the island, you will have to face some tough decisions as swimming in Santorini's sandy beaches or soaking in your own private pool sound equally enchanting. Wherever the evening finds you, be sure to look up at the glorious sunset that paints the sky crimson, because chances are you won't find this in any other place on Earth.

Overnight: Athens

Day 3 - Arrival in Naxos
From your hotel you will be transferred to the port in order to board the ferry to Naxos, your first destination in the Aegean. Unspoiled by mass tourism and yet beloved by locals, Naxos still retains a lot of its customs and traditions in the face of modernity. As your approach the port, make sure to keep an eye out for Portara, the iconic monument of the island. On arrival you have a transfer to your selected hotel by our local collaborator.
Overnight: Naxos
Meals: Breakfast

Days 4 & 5 - Explore Naxos
Between the beautiful sandy beaches of Plaka, Agia Anna and Agios Prokopios, it is no wonder that beach hopping is so popular in Naxos. In Alyko, a wonderful sight awaits, as above the white sandy beach lays a cedar forest which gives the area a distinct flavor. Last but not least, you must explore the gastronomy scene as Naxos is home to many delicacies and exquisite varieties of wine. Outings to smaller villages like Chalki, Kastro and Apiranthos can lead to delicious home-cooked meals in tiny family taverns.

The Bronze Age settlement of Akrotiri was one of the most important Minoan urban centers and ports in the Aegean Sea when it was covered by volcanic ash in the 17th century BCE.
