Carbon Neutral Trip
Hop through the Cyclades—Greece’s chicest island cluster—where whitewashed villages, hidden beaches, and seaside trails promise daily doses of postcard envy. Pedal and hike ancient paths, sail turquoise waters, and indulge sumptuously in local flavours. Embrace leisurely island rhythms and mingle with our local friends—just try not to gloat when you get back home, and yours ask how your trip went.
With over 4,000 islands in Greece waiting to be discovered, we've spent years exploring and have chosen five of our favourites to share with you.
Preview the itinerary
No two trips are ever the same, but this will give you a taste of what your journey will be like.
Day 1
We'll meet in Santorini for a volcanic hike then cruise to the lesser-known picturesque island of Folegandros to explore Cycladic architecture. This evening, we’ll head into town for a casual walk around the charming village. After showing you our favourite spot to watch the sunset, we’ll indulge in a traditional dinner at a restaurant overlooking the cliffs.
Activity:
5 km (3 mi.) hike along the caldera on a volcanic trail | Elevation gain: 132 m (433 ft.)
Optional hike on Folegandros
Day 2
Enjoy the slow pace of island life today as we spend time out on the coast, snorkelling and swimming in its aquamarine waters. This evening, tour Kastro Citadel before exploring the town on your own for dinner.
Activity:
Snorkelling and speed boating around Folegandros
Day 3
Set out on a hike along the Folegandros coast with occasional stops to explore village delights. After a seaside lunch, we'll head across the sea destined for the island of Sifnos to unwind. This evening, indulge at a cocktail party before we sit down for dinner at the hotel.
Activity:
7 km (4 mi.) coastal hike | Elevation gain: 168 m (551 ft.)
Day 4
From Apollonia, we’ll begin our hike along a beautiful route to Artemonas. Then, we'll meet our local friends on a farm for a 'slow food' cooking experience using traditional culinary techniques. Later, spend time relaxing at the pool before we head to a local seaside taverna for dinner.
Activity:
7 km (4 mi) hike to Apollonia | Elevation gain: 238 m (780 ft.)
Day 5
After a ferry ride to the island of Paros, we’ll head to the start of our walk in Lefkès, a restored Parian village full of narrow streets and churches. Walk along an ancient Ottoman-era trail ending in Prodromos, then we’ll pause for a seaside lunch. We’re then off to Naoussa, where we’ll have time to enjoy some shopping before we regroup for a fabulous dinner.
Activity:
4 km (2 mi.) easy going hike from Lefkes to Prodromos | Elevation gain: 35 m (117 ft.)
Optional hike | 2 km (1 mi.)
Day 6
Hop on our private boat to head to the neighbouring island of Naxos for a day of biking. On two wheels, discover another surprising island full of Byzantine churches and Hellenistic sights. For our final evening, we’ll explore an organic family-run farm and enjoy a farm-to-table experience hosted by the family.
Activity:
23 km (14 mi.) ride from Filoti to Kalantos | Elevation gain: 295 m (970 ft.)
