Escape to the magical Cyclades islands and create long lasting memories for yourself and your loved ones. Combine exhilarating fun activities and adventure with relaxing beach time, culture, history and fabulous food!
Your adventure begins with a 2-day short break in Athens. Walking around Athens, the cradle of Western civilisation and the birthplace of democracy, feels like exploring a lively, open-air museum. Every step you take leads to a fascinating monument. Our guide will take you away from the touristic areas and show you the hidden gems of Athens and beyond…
You will then continue to mountainous Naxos, the largest and most multi-faceted island in the Cyclades, where you’ll stay for a week at a lovely guesthouse by the beach! You will discover lofty mountains, fertile valleys, springs, picturesque villages, Venetian towers, ancient sites, endemic wildlife, remote bays and long sandy beaches… while at the same time you enjoy swimming, sailing, birdwatching, scuba diving, sea kayaking, windsurfing or kitesurfing, cycling… the choices are endless! We’ll create the ideal holiday for you based on your desired activities!
Your second week is spent on the island of Amorgos, in the Small Cyclades, which until recently was very isolated so it still remains quite unspoilt… a small heaven of peace, Greek hospitality and traditional culture. You will stay at the beautiful bay of Aegiali and experience fun activities in order to exploit the island’s natural wonders. You’ll discover rustic villages, medieval paths, magnificent beaches and landscapes, water sports, deserted islets and of course delicious local food!
Join our unique 2 week multi-activity adventure holiday specially designed for small groups or families! All the activities are professionally guided and supervised, so parents feel very confident in the safety aspect.

Itinerary
As the evening rolls in, it’s time to explore Athens oh-so-irresistible old neighborhoods surrounding the Acropolis. It’s your first night in Greece and as the city buzzes around you, you’ll feel the excitement bubbling. This is just the start of the adventure for you and your family and it promises to be incredible!
You’ll also experience a food tour around Athens’ old neighborhoods, central vegetables, meat and fish markets, where you will “taste” the true soul of the Greek diet by trying lesser-known delicacies and popular traditional dishes!
In the evening stroll around the picturesque Naxos town with its medieval atmosphere, narrow alleys, archways and old houses. Visit the ‘old town’ and the ‘Kastro’, the medieval fortress where the Venetian Catholics settled when they conquered the island in 1207.
Continue your walk to Mitropolis square, where ruins from Naxos’ Mycenaean capital have been excavated dating from 1300 BC and end the walk at the islet of Palatia and the unfinished Temple of Apollo (6th century BC). This is the best place on the island to watch the sunset! Enjoy a lovely supper at one of our favourite local taverns and try Naxos’ famous local agricultural products.
Zas is an important hideout and nesting place for many migratory and resident birds such as the Griffon vulture which you will have the chance to observe! Take a scenic downhill path to reach the village of Filoti where you can reward yourself with a delicious meal at its picturesque square.
After a long break, you’ll continue to the pretty village of Chalki with its neoclassical architecture and Venetian towers. Your tour will end with a visit to the local distillery, an olive press factory museum, and a delicious desert at the traditional ‘kafenio’…
If you want a more challenging route, there are exhilarating trails to follow inland towards the more mountainous areas. There are options for all ages.
If you are an experienced diver, diving at the island where the famous “Big Blue” movie by Luc Besson was filmed is a must! If you’re not experienced, you can enjoy a trial dive or a snorkelling tour! There is nothing like breathing underwater for the very first time. It takes a little getting used to but after a few minutes of awestruck wonder, most participants realize how easy scuba diving really is.
Here you have the choice to descend to a beautiful beach with crystal clear waters for a swim and snorkel or walk along the spine of the island, pass medieval hotels, deserted villages, breathtaking views and incredible landscapes till you reach the bay of Aegiali… our favourite hike on the island which is famous for its trails. You’ll be rewarded with a refreshing swim and lunch upon arrival at the beach!
