  • Days 3 & 4 – Explore Milos
    Exciting opportunities abound in Milos, with the island being full of interesting sites and activities. The picturesque village of Klima, near Plaka, is known not only for its fish taverns, but also for ‘syrmata’ the traditional and colorful houses that have been carved into the rocks. If you wish to take a swim, look no further than Sarakiniko, a beach straight out of a science fiction novel, as the white volcanic rocks have been slowly sculpted by the wind and the waves to look like something completely extra-terrestrial. For visitors with a knack for history, the ancient theater of Tripiti and the local Catacombs are among the many archaeological sites on the island.

  • Days 6 & 7 – Enjoy Naxos
    Naxos’ fertile landscape and relatively large size provide a diverse ecosystem, with sandy beaches, mountains and more famously, the cedar forest at Alyko. Picturesque villages like Chalki and Apeiranthos retain the traditional Cycladic style, while Kastro still shows Venetian influences. Ancient ruins are spread around the island, with Portara and the Temple of Demeter enjoy a larger popularity due to their historic significance. Being the largest of the Cycladic islands means that Naxos can offer ample opportunity for hiking and mountain biking, both of which are extremely popular on the island. For the daredevils out there, in Mikri Viglia beach, you can take up windsurfing and kitesurfing!
