Trip Highlights
Paros, Greece
This slower paced island of picture-perfect whitewashed villages and blue-domed churches, oft referred to as a ‘mini Mykonos’, is famous for the Parian white marble once mined here. Admire the flawless stone during a guided visit to the incredible 4th-century ‘Church of 100 Doors’, founded by Constantine the Great’s mother, St. Helen, during her pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
The charming little villages of Paros are a true Cycladic fairytale.
Naxos, Greece
The greenest of the Greek Isles, Naxos’ natural beauty is ubiquitous, as are the fruits and vegetables of its rich and fertile farmland. Follow your nose through the labyrinth of the Old Town to taste the island’s ripe olives, buttery cheeses and citrus-infused Kitron liqueur; or wander down the centuries-old cobblestone alleys lined with whitewashed houses and Venetian castles.

Heraklion, Crete
The largest of the Greek Islands, Crete’s capital Heraklion is a modern city with a window to the past; it’s home to two of Greece’s important historic sites, the Minoan art-filled Archaeological Museum and the impressive Bronze Age settlement of Knossos.
