    Day 2Paros Hiking: The Byzantine Trail

    After our mighty Greek breakfast, we depart for the traditional village of Lefkes. From here we will start our hike in the Byzantine Trail.
    The Byzantine road is the oldest trail on the island, and connects Lefkes to Prodromos. The trail, whose history dates back to the Byzantine era (1,000 AD), is 3.5 kilometers long and is paved with Parian marble.

    Day 4Naxos Hiking- and Cultural Experience

    After breakfast, short transfer from the hotel to Paroikia in order to take our ferry to Naxos.
    Our hiking experience today starts from Kouros statues.
    These larger-than-life statues of young men, predestined to hold on to a temple roof, were abandoned incomplete by the ancient sculptors, when they discovered faults in the marble. Once we cross them, we follow the path to Ano Potamia, a picturesque village.
    Short and refreshing stop at the village’s spring, continuing our hike to Apano Kastro (Upper Castle) to enjoy the spectacular panoramic views of Naxos town, port and the surrounding villages, while enjoying our delicious picnic lunch with traditional Greek products!

    Small tracks will lead us through farmlands so that we can enjoy beautiful views over mountains and some of the best coastlines in the Cyclades. Little stony roads take us to the beautiful beach of Mikri Vigla, with its stretch of finest white sand and blue sea. Excellent location for a swim and a light lunch!

    Day 7Akrotiri Archaeological Site - Santorini Sea Kayak tour - Wine tasting

    Dorians, Venetians, and Turks occupied Santorini, but its most influential early inhabitants were Minoans. They came from Crete sometime between 2000 BC and 1600 BC and the settlement of Akrotiri, dubbed as the Greek Pompeii, dates from the peak years of their civilization. Alongside with a professional guide you will have the opportunity to walk along the streets and squares of the city, which was buried in volcanic ash after the eruption of the volcano.
    Finishing the walk it is time for an unforgettable sea kayaking experience! Enjoy views of spectacular rock formations, paddle, swim and snorkel in crystal clear waters and admire beautiful beaches in the southern part of the island. En route we will also savor a delicious light picnic meal.
