Overview
About this journey
The Greek Blue begins in Paros, with its fishing harbours and marble-paved lanes, before crossing to Naxos, the greenest of the Cyclades, and finishing on wild, peaceful Amorgos. Each island is reached by scheduled ferry, just as islanders travel.
Days combine gentle coastal walks with swimming stops, a sailing trip to the Small Cyclades and visits to farms, potters and village tavernas. Evenings are long and relaxed, with fresh seafood, local wine and sunsets over the Aegean.
Highlights
Day sailing to the quiet Small Cyclades
