Q: Is travel insurance mandatory?

We highly recommend securing travel and medical insurance not only to cover any emergencies during the trip but also last minute cancellations.

Q: What city/airport should I arrive and depart from?

Getting to Naxos requires you to go through Athens. You can fly into Athens International Airport and connect to Naxos Airport (JNX). The other option is to take a ferry from Athens to Naxos that takes 3-4 hours. The trip finishes in Chania. From Chania you can take a ferry back to Athens (8 hours) or a domestic flight from Chania Airport (CHQ).

Naxos & Crete Adventure with Carl Swedberg and PRO Club

DAY 1

Arrival in Naxos

Arrival in Naxos, transfer and settle to your hotel. The rest of the day is free to relax, the Naxian way: swim in the turquoise crystal clear Naxian sea and then walk and explore the town.

Chora has an interesting mix of Venetian and Cycladic elements, and it has kept its authentic and traditional character. Above the port stands the impressive Venetian castle, and in the northern part of the capital, a long-paved road leads to the Temple of Apollo and the famous Portara (Big Door) which is the gate of the temple.

In the evening enjoy a nice Welcome Dinner to get to know your group.
