Dear friend
Spring is really the best time to walk and experience the unique nature and culture of the Greek islands. By Easter it has been raining for quite a while and all the islands are unrecognizable. The hills are carpeted with lush vegetation… the flora is quite spectacular with a good showing of flowering plants such as asphodel, irises and tassel hyacinths, various orchids and other wild flowers.
Also during the out-of-season months of spring, the islands are more relaxed and travelling costs tends to be better value.
Gain unique experiences and create those special moments that matter!
Our holidays focus on unique experiences where you can make memories and create those special moments that matter. This could be a fabulous meal you had during your trip, an encounter with the locals that made you smile or something as simple yet astonishing as a hilltop view. We’ve put together three holidays where you can do something different, broaden your horizons and make the most of this spring on foot. Let’s take a look…
THREE SUPERB SPRING WALKS IN GREECE
Spring holiday 1: Discover our most popular walking holiday! Naxos & the unspoilt Small Cyclades…
Naxos is the largest, richest and most multifaceted island of the Cyclades while the Small Cyclades until recently, were very isolated so they still remain unspoilt… a small heaven of peace, Greek hospitality and traditional culture.
Join our 7- or 10-day walking holiday at Naxos and…
- Explore an infinite network of traditional marble-paved mule-tracks and hidden valley paths,
- Experience traditional Greek countryside, orchards, gardens, dramatic coastlines
- Visit monasteries, Byzantine chapels with rare frescoes, ancient monuments…
- Reach and swim at remote solitary beaches and coves with crystal clear waters,
- Walk to the highest mountain of the Cyclades, Mount Zas, where Olympian god Zeus grew to manhood,
- Walk to magical parts of the islands that you would never discover on your own,
- Learn about the local herbs and plants, birds and other members of the animal kingdom, above and under the water!
- Sample organic, home-made food locally produced wherever you eat,
- Experience customs and traditions, cultural happenings, local feasts with Cycladic music and dance…

Spring holiday 2: Discover the greenest and most unexplored Cycladic islands; Andros & Tinos
In comparison to the rest of the Cyclades it rains a lot at Andros and there are numerous rivers, streams, springs and waterfalls. As a result Andros is remarkably green and characterised by a rich flora and diverse landscape which are waiting for you to be explored. We like to combine a walking holiday at Andros with Tinos.
The “unknown” Cycladic island of Tinos will impress you with its numerous deserted ancient paths and trails, traditional villages, the architecture of its countless pigeon houses, windmills and countless churches, stone walls, fountains, giant rocks with strange shapes…

Spring holiday 3: Volcanic Milos and authentic Sifnos will fascinate you
Volcanic Milos will enchant you with its diversity, coastal morphology and rare geological formations… with its 75 beaches, crystal, deep blue waters, picturesque harbors and colorful volcanic rocks…
Sifnos will impress you with its traditional villages, small churches with blue domes, Venetian castle, ancient ruins, an inexhaustible variety of beautiful hiking trails which lead to tranquil sandy beaches, delicious local food and wine…
Based at the picturesque village of Ano Petali, you will walk on ancient paths and trails, enjoy astonishing coastal sceneries and landscapes with abandoned terraces, ruined pigeon houses, bridges, steep rocky cliffs, springs and small gorges… you’ll get familiar with wild herbs and flowers… come across endemic wildlife… and reach remote virgin beaches with crystal clear waters.
