About this trip

Off-the-beaten-path Greek island paradise on our semi-independent trip... Naxos is an authentic Greek island in the Cyclades away from the masses of tourists. It is the perfect mix of sandy beaches, stunning turquoise waters, olive groves, mountains, and local traditions. Naxos is also Zeus’ childhood home and boasts wonderful Greek food as well as amazing hospitality!


Beaches: Sun-soaked and radiant, Naxos is a great location to take some time and relax in the many sun loungers on the beach.


See what few tourists see: Visit Naxos' inland which most visitors skip. Take in the charming Greek villages and majestic mountain ranges on the Cyclades' largest island.


Boat life!: Channel your inner James Bond as you speed around in a boat to the idyllic village of Naousa on Paros and the picture-perfect beaches in and around Naxos.

Lapland was a once in a lifetime "bucket list" trip, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Sandy, our guide, was absolutely delightful and I appreciated having everything planned for me so I could just enjoy the experience. Thank you Sandy and Globe Drifters for an excellent trip! Linda

It was a winter wonderland of fun! The Wilderness Lodge and it's staff were just amazing. They were very knowledgeable and very helpful . I thoroughly enjoyed this trip and would recommend this trip.
By Carol R for Lapland, Finland - March 2025 on Mar 13, 2025
The trip was great. We were able to visit many interesting sites and return to our home hotel every night. We were able to frequent local establishments and get to know the area. This trip was such a pleasure for us. No packing bags at midnight for early departure to another area, one night stands, etc. We saw and learned so much about the Andalusia area of Spain that I don’t feel we missed anything. The trip was definitely a 5 star. Globe Drifters was a wonderful company to work with. No hassles, no pressure.

Great trip, Sandy the guide, is a seasoned, well travelled, expert and engaging guide. Seville is a lovely place to staycation and the hotel was unique and beautiful.

Lapland itself was exceptional! Very much enjoyed the igloo cabins & included activities. The food served during the buffet meals wasn’t the best. For me, too much fatty foods, too much butter, too much fried foods… Came hungry, left hungry. Same foods served. Globe-Drifters guide wasn’t very good/effective. This was her 1st time ever in Lapland. She didn’t provide much info, couldn’t answer many questions asked of her, she’d give misinformation. She was more of a fellow traveler than guide. A good person but not a good guide for this trip.
