Dates
In case you are interested in taking this tour between November and March, we will need to provide Naxos/Crete connection by flight via Athens instead of ferry as the ferries between Naxos and Crete do not operate during off-season (winter time). Another option is replacing Crete with another island such as Paros or Santorini, which has regular ferry connection with Athens and Naxos all year round. Please note the organized group excursions on the islands do not operate during off-season between November and March.
