5.00Due to poor weather we had to move the tour to Apollonas but it was absolutely beautiful! The guides were soo informative and friendly and made sure we all had a wonderful time! They took pictures along the way to share with us and showed us some amazing private beaches. This was the perfect first tour to start off our honeymoon in Naxos!

5.00Our excursion was booked to go on May 14th but due to high winds it had to be cancelled for safety reasons. They did have room for 2 of us a day later and the weather cooperated. This is a small business run by a few family members. One of the owners, Nick, picked us up at our hotel as we booked the transfer option. It was almost an hour car ride from our hotel to the starting point and along the way Nick told us all about the area we were traveling through and more history, which we LOVE to her about. When we arrived at the marina, we were greeted by David, another owner, who was waiting for us with the 2 person kayaks. It was a small group of only 4 kayaks (8 people) and we liked that. Both Nick and David joined us on the actual kayak to the caves and we felt safe out in the Sea. The water colors were beautiful and the marble and rock formations along the way were stunning. When we arrived at the Rhina Cave David took the 2 of us into the cave on our Kayaks (water was too cold for us “older” folks) while the others beached theirs and swam to the cave with provided snorkels and masks. While we all had some included snacks, Nick and David told us more stories, history and myths about Greece, especially Naxos. It was a then another fantastic kayak back to the marina. On the drive back to our hotel, Nick continued with history of Greece. We felt like we got a 2 for 1 with this excursion. If you are even a little “outdoorsey” I would highly recommend this excursion with Trekking Hellas!

5.00One of the most memorable vacation experiences of my life, this day was fantastic start to finish. Our guides were funny and shared so much knowledge of the islands and mythology. We did not visit the cave due to winds but I have zero complaint they made up for it with an amazing adventure adding in a visit to an oil press museum and an authentic Greek lunch in a village outside of town.
