“ The Cyclades is
one corner of the map where the word “seduction” applies
with more appropriateness than anywhere else on earth.”
Joseph Gobineau, French
Writer, (1867)
The Cyclades are synonymous
with some of the most beautiful beaches and water in the Mediterranean.
We have selected the most closely knit of all the island groups,
based around Naxos, which makes it ideal for Island Hopping. Truly
a swimmers paradise!
From the undiscovered gems of the Smaller Cyclades through to
the mountainous regions of Náxos, this archipelago will enchant you.
Many of the islands that we swim to, are
far off the beaten track,
so you will be able to experience authentic Greek life. But it's not
only crossings, you'll also get to experience some fabulous coastal
swims in areas only accessible to swimmers.
On our walk up Mt Zeus we encounter
rugged mountains and green valleys which make Naxos a walker's delight.
 This
is one of SwimTrek's original tours and even after 5 years it is still
one of our most popular. So we could spend more time in the wonderful
Smaller Cyclades this tour was revamped for 2008. It promises to
be both challenging and rewarding. The long and varied swims
combined with traditional island life make this a must do trip.
