What to do and see in Naxos, South Aegean: The Best Multi-day Tours
A spot of white in the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea, the island of Naxos is a unique blend of ancient ruins and beach culture. The largest of the Cycladic Islands, Naxos is the childhood home of none other than Zeus, king of the gods. Upon arrival in Naxos, hike over a causeway to Palatia, where the Portara, a stone gateway to an ancient temple that no longer exists, stands alone, the symbol of the island. At sunset, the views of the island, and the sea beyond, are breathtaking.

My son, daughter-in-law and I had booked a 14-day private tour of Athens, Crete, Santorini, Milos and Naxos with Private Tours Greece from May 1-14, 2020 and made a 30% down payment by credit card on 02/06/2020. All interactions with Private Tours Greece went smoothly and were professional and friendly. Then, due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and my son's illness, on 03/13/2020, well ahead of the deadline for a fully-refundable cancellation, I asked Private Tours Greece to release all reservations it had made on our behalf, but to hold my deposit, in the hope that we might be able to reschedule our trip later in 2020 or in the spring of 2021. Private Tours Greece complied with my request and issued a credit voucher for the down payment I had made. As the pandemic continued to surge and Greece remained closed to visitors from the United States, on 4/17/2021, after essentially extending an interest-free loan to Private Tours Greece for over a year, I requested that my down payment be fully refunded and credited to the same credit card account to which it had been charged. Thereupon, Private Tours Greece staff claimed that the request for refund had been "forwarded" ... as it turned out later, to Alpha Bank. Nothing happened for a week. I then engaged in repeated e-mail exchanges with Private Tours Greece staff, only to be subjected to a stream of equivocations, obfuscations of the facts, and invalid excuses, including a claim that Private Tours Greece was doing me a favor by agreeing to a refund because the Greek government had allegedly given it the option to hold my funds indefinitely. I then contacted the general manager of the company, who sent me what purported to be a Greek language request to Alpha Bank (that I was unable to read) to issue the refund, along with further invalid excuses, never responding to my complaint that Private Tours Greece was in breach of its contractual obligation to issue a full refund of my down payment, not to mention doing the honorable thing, i.e., issue an immediate refund from an account he controlled directly, rather than blaming Alpha Bank for the delay by claiming that it "required" 10-15 "working" days to complete the request. Even that outlandishly ridiculous period has now expired! A complaint I submitted to Alpha Bank has received no response to date. It has now been nearly a full month since my refund request of 4/17/2021, and I may have to initiate legal action against Private Tours Greece ... with all the complexities and additional outlays and delays that would involve ... in order to reclaim my funds. The lesson to be learned here is that Private Tours Greece cannot be counted upon to honor its promises and contractual commitments. If there is any chance at all that you may have to cancel your trip, STAY AWAY!

4. Lazy Dash - 7 Days of Relaxed Sailing in the Cyclades
This Week is an ode to the freedom of smooth cruising under sail. The little Cyclades are a fantastic sailing ground with flat seas to sail and crystal clear turquoise waters to explore at a relax pace. This week we begin our journey from the port of Paros and head south to the little Cyclades. The journey will first take us to the remote island of Despotiko to experience the Cycladic night Sky in one of our favourite remote beaches. The next days are completely dedicated to the turquoise waters of Schoinousa, Ano Koufonisi, Keros and Kato Koufonisi. Swim and dive amongst in some of the most extraordinary beaches of the Aegean. We continue with a northbound upwind sail to Donousa, before we head west towards the islands of Macheres and the port of Naxos. In Naxos you will get to walk between the narrow alleys of the Old Town, blend with the locals and experience the Cycladic night life. Finally we will head back to Paros for our farewell.

We had an amazing family vacation sailing with Jack & Jenny for the week. Firstly, the communication before the trip was great. They answered all of our (many) queries and did everything possible to make sure that the trip was planned to our satisfaction. The activities we did were all perfect and when we werent active we found time to be together as a family and relax on the boat. It was such a memorable trip for all of us and nothing was too much to ask. Would highly recommend Jack & Jenny for anyone looking to get out onto the water in the Greek Islands!

The catamaran was spotless and very comfortable. There was plenty of space despite there being 10 of us that day. The swimming spots were wonderful! No snorkel gear but we brought goggles so it didn't really matter. Lunch was very tasty and the staff were incredibly warm and helpful. I have been on trips like this all over the world and this was one of the best!

Perfect holiday with a very service minded crew on Northwind. The accommodation was good and the space on deck and in the cabins was enough to feel well. The food was really great but it would be nice with more variety. The route was well planned even though it would have to change because of medical reasons (the crew did an excellent job taking care of the sick person). To develop the concept it would be great with more time sailing and more time ashore. Because the best time onboard is when the engine is turned off and the sails gives a silent journey.
