Our overall experience was fantastic! One of the absolute highlights of our adventure was exploring the breathtaking Greek islands and learning about the culture from locals. We wouldn't have been able to find those charming villages and hidden gems without G Adventures and without Sam leading our journey. A trip of a lifetime! Thank you!!!

Incredible way to immerse yourself in the Greek Islands. The inclusion of some of the less touristy islands and activities helps create a more holistic experience where you feel like you supporting rather exploiting these fascinating people and places. At the same time, there is enough free time and flexibility to have some more traditional holiday experiences.

Greek Islands Walk: Santorini & Naxos on Foot trip - alternative tour available

Greek Islands Walk: Santorini & Naxos on Foot

Santorini and Naxos are two of the most beautiful islands in the Cyclades but here is where the similarity ends. Santorini feels like no other place on earth: an ancient island that endured one of the largest volcanic eruptions in history. Here everything is bright like the whitewashed cube-shaped houses, the lapis lazuli sea and the sunsets that light up the caldera. Whilst the towns and beaches are understandably popular, the walking opportunities on the island are numerous, through volcanic landscapes and along spectacular cliffs along a series of mule tracks. Naxos on the other hand is the largest of the Cyclade islands with some of Greece's best white sand beaches, a smattering of ancient ruins and a lively town. Away from the coast, life has changed little in the last century. Traditional farming practices abound in a landscape of fertile valleys home to 1000 year old olive groves and impressive mountains beckoning to be climbed. One day is spent ascending the highest mountain of the area: Mt Zas. From its summit enjoy breathtaking views of olive-orchards set in sharp contrast with the deep blue Aegean Sea. The pace of the holiday is dictated by you, with plenty of opportunity after the walks to swim in the sea or hotel pool, wander through markets in the small towns and relax at a taverna to watch the sunset.
