Naxos - 3 Days
Immerse yourself in the charm of Naxos for three days during your ten-day adventure! As the largest Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea, Naxos offers a delightful blend of history and relaxation. With its authentic Greek culture and natural beauty, Naxos promises an unforgettable getaway that will leave you longing for more!
I stayed at Seven Suites in Naxos, hence the number 7 in the picture. It's a gorgeous, intimate villa, perfect for ultimate relaxation. The boutique hotel boasts only seven rooms, making it private. They also make the best salads, so I highly recommend it. We had only booked one night but extended for another three nights; it was just too lush.
