Alternative Cyclades: Naxos and Koufonissia

Have you visited the “famous” Cycladic islands? Well now it’s time to re-think what Cyclades islands is all about!
Both beautiful islands in the Cyclades group of Greece. Naxos is known for its stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters, while Koufonissia is a tiny, idyllic island with secluded coves and lovely beaches. If you’re looking for a relaxing Greek island getaway, I’d definitely recommend checking out either Naxos or Koufonissia!

( 7 days )

Your tour’s schedule in detail:

  1. Athens to Naxos
    Morning transfer from your Athens hotel to Piraeus port for embarkation on your hydro to Naxos.
    You will be met by our local escort and will be transferred to your hotel where you will overnight for the next 3 nights.
  2. Naxos  – day to explore
    Náxos is the biggest and the greenest island in Cyclades with impressively high mountains, fertile valleys, lush green gorges, stunning seascapes, and traditional villages perched high on mountain tops, where the inhabitants still wear their traditional dress and live off the fruits of the land! Náxos hides mysterious discoveries and surprises you probably did not expect to find in the middle of the Aegean.
  3. Naxos  – day to explore
    Venetian towers, traditional settlements and imposing waterfalls, important wetlands and magnificent beaches, will make you to want to come back. Náxos is also an island of beautiful old churches and monasteries castles coexisting harmoniously with Cycladic cubic houses
  4. Naxos to Koufonissia
    Transfer to the pier for short hydro hop to Koufonissia. Upon arrival you will be met by your hotel’s escort and will be transferred to your hotel where you will overnight for the next 3 nights. Many hotels are within walking distance.
  5. Koufonissia – Day to explore
    On Koufonissia space and time dimensions are different from what established theory has led you to expect.You do not need a watch. If you have brought it along, put it away in the deepest recess of your luggage. Out of the two islands, Pano Koufonissi is the only populated one. Koufonissia are a favorite destination for those who seek to relax on their holidays and look for sheltered golden sand beaches, small natural pools of turquoise waters, feasts in the original ‘island way’ and seafood fresh from the sea.
  6. Koufonissia – Day to explore
    The peacefulness of Ano Koufonissi emits a mysterious atmosphere over an area of just four square kilometers in contrast with wilderness sceneries of Kato Koufonissi and the shadow of the silhouette of Keros hiding in the deep sea.
  7. Departure
    Escorted by the hotel’s minivan [if necessary] to the port for your return to Piraeus port.
