Greek Island Trip! - May/Jun 2023

Naxos

NAXOS - GREEK ISLAND TRIP!
• Dates & Cost (10 days / 9 nights):
May 23 - June 1, 2023 -- $2800 per person, excluding flights
June 1 - 10, 2023 -- $3000 per person, excluding flights *Peak season

• Details: https://globe-drifters.com/trip/greek-naxos-slowcation/

This trip is a “Slowcation” and you can read more about it here: https://globe-drifters.com/extended-stay-trips/

Below is some information. If you have any questions, you can email [masked].

Stay in a 5-star boutique hotel located in the peaceful countryside of Naxos, but just a 15-minute walk into the island’s old town (with a grocery store and plenty of cafes & restaurants) and a 10-minute walk to some of the most beautiful beaches in the Aegean Sea (with umbrella and beach chair rental available!).

There are some really amazing activities planned during the trip such as: a private catamaran around some of the more far-flung and less-traveled Cycladian islands and a private culinary experience at a local family’s farm.

Naxos is the biggest island in the Cyclades and it is a transportation hub for getting to many of the more well-known islands like Paros, Mykonos and Santorini which are all affordable & reachable by ferry. This allows for easy day trips to many of the islands.

Please email [masked] if you have any questions.
