Santorini & Naxos

Two weeks in the Cyclades Archipelago
Overview

The Cyclades conjures up traditional images of the Greek islands with brilliant white cubist architecture, clear azure waters and breathtaking sunsets. This holiday to Greece combines two contrasting islands, the arid and rocky terrain of Santorini, and Naxos with its green and mountainous landscape.

Santorini offers dramatic scenery with its sheer cliffs, dark sandy beaches and caldera or crater, remains of probably the world’s largest volcanic eruption. Our walks take in the rim of the ancient volcano, mountain ridges, picturesque villages and coastal paths, offering breathtaking views to nearby islands.

By contrast, the island of Naxos is immediately distinct from its neighbour. Its rugged mountains, green valleys and fertile landscape offer beautiful verdant scenery for our walks, which can often end at one of the island’s idyllic sandy beaches. We’ll follow extensive footpaths and mule tracks that link the villages, and discover towers and fortified mansions that are unique to the island.
