      About this trip

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


      Just a ferry ride away: Naxos is just a short ferry ride away from some of the more popular islands of the Cyclades such as Mykonos, Paros, and Santorini.


      See what few tourists get to see: Take a tour of the interior of Naxos which most visitors skip over. 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.

      Noteworthy countries to visit, however, the 4 flights (3 domestic & 1 international) are a bit too much for the duration of this trip e.g., given the distance between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh -- travel by minibus would have been a better option (also, providing a chance to visit a few villages along the way). The local guides knowledge-base were not consistent throughout this trip and definitely could be improved.

      A magical trip of a lifetime with a great tour guide, Marvil, and group of people. The activities were so much fun; the Aurora cabin was special & food was really good—even the reindeer! And the best part….we saw the Northern Lights 2 nights! 🥰

      This was a wonderful experience and I am so lucky to be with a group of amazing people on this trip! Marvil was fun, energetic and friendly, she had great positive energy. I loved the aurora cabins and would recommend this itinerary!

      Globedrifters is truly a first class outfit and the trip to Vietnam and Cambodia was absolutely amazing and unforgettable. Vietnam and Cambodia are wonderful countries with incredible things to see that should be on anyone’s bucket list. The people, food, and sites are just magnetic. And if you are going to hit these two countries, I would VERY HIGHLY recommend choosing GlobeDrifters - they were there to meet our every need, had amazing tour guides, took us to great restaurants, and had a great itinerary that allowed us to see the sites but also gave us time to explore on our own. It’s no wonder that for several of the attendees this was their 4 or 5th trip using GlobeDrifters (it was my first and I will use them again). Happy travels!!

      I thoroughly enjoyed my Thailand trip, which has a good mix of natural scenery, water activities, cultural exchange, city temples and markets. The tropical fruits and food were delicious! Our guides, Issy and Sandy, did their best to help us. Issy went above and beyond to help my vegan diet. I cannot thank her enough. Thanks to Globe Drifters for the wonderful memories!
