Naxos is the largest island in the Cyclades and, in our opinion, the most rewarding. After a month visiting the island, this is the planning guide we wish we'd had before we arrived.

We spent a month on Naxos and covered almost every beach on the island. Here's every stretch of sand worth visiting in 2026, with tips, prices and how to get there.

Parikia won't win you over immediately. But spend a proper half-day in the capital of Paros and it reveals something Naoussa can't offer: a lived-in, genuinely local Greek town with exceptional food, historic landmarks and some of the best sunset bars on the island.

Paved with Parian marble and over 1,000 years old, the Byzantine Path is the best half-day on Paros, and one of the most rewarding walks in the Cyclades. Our guide covers the full route, the villages worth stopping in, where to eat and drink along the way, and how to get there and back.

Santorini is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, which means the pressure is on to do it right the first time. We spent five days here, watched sunset from Pyrgos instead of Oia, based ourselves in Imerovigli instead of Fira and found the best meal of our two-month Greek islands trip in a village most visitors never find. Here's everything worth doing, and what to skip.

Oia is one of the most beautiful places in Greece, and one of the most visited. Here's our honest take on whether Oia is still worth it in 2026, how to navigate the crowds and what to actually do once you're there.

Skaros Rock rises from the caldera below Imerovigli, all volcanic drama, ruined fortress walls and sea-blue silence. In 2026, it remains one of the island’s most rewarding short walks, and this guide covers how to hike Skaros Rock, what to expect, when to go, what to avoid, and how to visit safely.

The hike from Fira to Oia is 10.5 kilometres along the caldera rim, past whitewashed villages, blue-domed churches, and volcanic rock, with the Aegean Sea visible below the entire way. Free, open year-round, and one of the best experiences on the island. Here's everything you need to know before you go.

Where you stay in Santorini matters. Choose well, and you’ll wake to caldera views, slow breakfasts on sunlit terraces and evenings that drift from golden hour to candlelit dinners. Choose wrong, and you may find yourself far from the version of the island you came for. Here’s our guide to the best areas and hotels in Santorini.
