Cycladic Islands: Milos, Paros & Naxos

You’ll be up early this morning for a transfer to Athens’ port of Piraeus and the ferry to Milos. You’ll be met at the port and driven to your hotel on arrival. You’ll have the rest of the day at leisure to relax by the coast or explore the town of Pollonia.

Explore a different side of Milos today on a privately guided geological island tour. You’ll see volcanic fields, beaches lined with red and white rocks, and the ghost town of an abandoned sulfur mine right on the ocean. You’ll have the afternoon free to relax or continue exploring the island.

A private vehicle will collect you from your hotel and take you to the port, where you’ll board the ferry to Paros. On arrival, you’ll be driven to your hotel. You’ll then have the afternoon free to explore the charming town of Naousa with its Cycladic architecture, shops and restaurants, and historic Venetian castle. If the weather’s nice, you may prefer to relax on the beach.

Today, you have a privately guided tour of the island to discover its history and culture. Visit traditional towns and tiny hamlets that have remained relatively unchanged for centuries, including the quieter village of Lefkes in the middle of the island, where you’ll see a Venetian church. You’ll also hike along rocky Byzantine paths which connect areas of the island that most visitors wouldn’t come across.

Take your final ferry trip to your last stop — the island of Naxos. You’ll be driven to the port in Paros and from the port to the hotel in Naxos, then have the remainder of the afternoon free to settle in and begin to explore the island.

You’ll have a whole day at leisure to relax on Naxos’s sandy beaches, swim in the sea or stroll whitewashed towns and villages surrounded by olive groves for a glimpse of local life.

A highlight of the Greek islands is often enjoying a day out on the sparkling blue water, so you’ll spend your last full day aboard a private catamaran exploring the beaches of southern Naxos and the nearby islands of the Small Cyclades.

A private vehicle will take you to the airport today for your flight home, arriving back the same day.
