Santorini – views, white villages and dramatic cliffs
The journey begins on Santorini, where the landscape sets the tone immediately. The whitewashed villages climb along the cliffs above the caldera and the view over the Aegean Sea is ever‑present.
With three nights here, there is time to experience both Oia and Fira, walk along the cliff edges and let the evenings stretch out. Santorini is as much a place to feel as to see – where sunsets gather people in silence and the views linger long after the sun has gone down.
Naxos – beaches, villages and tranquil island life
After Santorini, the journey continues to Naxos, the largest island in the Cyclades and a clear contrast in both pace and character. Here the landscape opens up with long sandy beaches, green valleys and small villages where everyday life still sets the rhythm.
Three nights on Naxos give you the opportunity to alternate beach days with excursions into the interior of the island. The beaches are wide and easily accessible, and in Naxos Town small tavernas, a harbor promenade and historical remains come together in a relaxed setting.
Paros – charm, beaches and relaxed pace
The journey ends on Paros, an island that combines the best of the Cyclades. Here you find both energy and calm, with beautiful beaches, whitewashed villages and a laid‑back evening scene.
Parikia and Naoussa are two natural hubs, with restaurants, small shops and pedestrian‑friendly surroundings. Three nights on Paros give you time to settle in, enjoy the beaches and let the trip come to a close that feels both easygoing and well‑considered.

Practical information
Best time to travel
May to October is the best period for a trip to Santorini, Naxos and Paros. Spring and early summer offer pleasant temperatures, green landscapes and a calmer pace, while high summer brings the classic Greek summer feeling with sun, swimming and lively beaches. Late summer and September are particularly appreciated for their warm sea, milder climate and relaxed atmosphere.
