Day 4 - Tínos
Enjoy a six-hour tour of the island with a local guide. The tour includes lunch and visits highlights of Tinos like Dio Choria village, stunning Volax village, and the famous village of Pirgos. Afterwards take advantage of a free evening to keep exploring Tinos on your own.
Day 5 - Tínos/Naxos
Leave Tinos behind and travel by ferry to Naxos. Set out on a CEO guided orientation tour of Naxos before visiting the Temple of Apollo and ending the day with some free time. Maybe stop at the Temple of Dimitra, a local microbrewery or the Church of Droisiani to see the 6th century wall paintings. Take in the view of Mt Zeus at Zas Cave and grab a meal at a local tavern before capping off the evening at Apollonas beach.
Day 6 - Naxos
Full free day in Naxos today. Maybe visit the castle on the hill built by a Venetian emperor in 1207. You can visit the archaeological museum there. You could also hike up Mount Zas for panoramic views of Naxos and bragging rights that you stood on the highest point in the Cyclades. The hike is 7km round trip and 300m of elevation gain. You could also walk through the small quaint villages that dot the hills of Naxos. You can also spend the day shopping, cafe hopping, and relaxing on the beach.
Day 7 - Naxos/Santorini
Jump on the ferry to the island of Santorini. Upon arrival the group will enjoy a CEO guided caldera walk.
