About this trip

A private Solo in Style slowcation in the idyllic Greek islands! Join a small group of just 12 women, along with Deborah Ives, founder of Solo in Style, and Monica, your Globe Drifters host, for a relaxed and unforgettable island escape.

Slow travel, not rushed travel: Spend several nights on each island instead of constantly packing and moving. With ample free time, you'll have plenty of time to relax, explore at your own pace, or simply enjoy Greek island life.

Island hopping made easy: Travel between Santorini, Naxos, and the beautiful village of Naousa on Paros, experiencing three very different sides of the Cyclades during one unforgettable trip.

Boutique hotels in exceptional locations: Stay in carefully selected boutique hotels—one perched above Santorini's caldera and another directly on an idyllic beach in Naxos, just steps from the sea and beach bars as well as Naxos' town center.

Day 5

Naxos Island Tour

Get ready to explore the quieter, more traditional side of Naxos, an island rich in history, culture, and fertile farmland.

We’ll begin at a family-run citron farm that has been passed down through generations. Here, you’ll see the citron trees, learn how the fruit is grown, and visit the small factory where it is transformed into the island’s traditional citron liqueur.

Afterwards, enjoy a tasting of citron liqueur and local wine, accompanied by jams, cheeses, cured meats, and olives that have been produced or grown nearby and carefully paired with each tasting.

Next, we’ll continue to Chalki, a charming village in the heart of the island. You’ll have free time to wander its narrow streets, browse the small boutiques dotted throughout the village, and enjoy its relaxed atmosphere.

Our final stop will be Apeiranthos, one of Naxos’ most distinctive mountain villages. Here, we’ll sit down to a delicious lunch in a beautiful setting beneath the shade of a large tree, surrounded by the remains of old stone ruins. Because Apeiranthos is located high in the mountains and away from the coast, the village is especially known for its meat dishes and hearty local specialties. You’ll be able to choose from several traditional dishes and enjoy a relaxed meal in one of the island’s most memorable settings.

  • Activities: Naxos Island private tour

Naousa Boat Trip

Enjoy a free morning and early afternoon to relax on the beach, explore Naxos, browse the local shops, or simply spend the day however you wish.

Later in the afternoon, we’ll board a speedboat and make our way to Naousa, a beautiful whitewashed village on the island of Paros. Its narrow cobbled streets are lined with boutiques, cafés, and bistros, making it a lovely place for some shopping, a leisurely stroll, or a drink by the harbor. Even if shopping is not your thing, the maze of charming lanes and picture-perfect corners makes Naousa a wonderful place to explore.

As the day comes to an end, we’ll return to Naxos by speedboat, timing our journey so we are out on the water at sunset. Sit back and enjoy the views as the sun sets over the South Aegean Sea.

*In case of high winds, the boat trip will be rescheduled or canceled.
