Naxos and Amorgos Traveller Reviews

Walking , swimming & eating & drinks.

Give us very comprehensive instructions

This was a two centre walking holiday on the Greek islands of Naxos and Amorgos. We flew to Mykonos from Manchester then travelled on various ferries.

This is the third Walking holiday that we have taken with On Foot and we have another planned. We would not use anybody else because of the amazing attention to detail and communication skills evident amongst all of the employees. Substantive research is carried out before routes are selected and the very detailed instructions and advice are invaluable.

My husband and I spend a week hiking on the Greek islands of Naxos and Amorgos. We enjoyed the different experiences of each place. We went on spectacular hikes, met friendly people, ate delicious food, marveled at Naxian marble and swam in the Aegean Sea. We were both challenged and relaxed: the perfect combination for us!

This was our second booking with OnFoot and we have been very pleased with their service. Communication is EXCELLENT: all questions readily answered and plenty of interesting details presented in advance. It was a pleasure getting to know the informed, friendly and helpful staff during our email exchanges. There was attention to detail: at one point they suggested an alternative transportation plan when what I had arranged didn't look like the best option. And through it all, helpful and friendly. And loved having a really good local contact to help with details: it really made the trip even better!

We walked the Cycladic Islands of Naxos and Amorgos. This was slightly different to our previous (four) holidays with On Foot, in that rather than walking from one location to another we stayed at one place in each Island, choosing from a variety of different walks each day and returning to the hotel. As usual with On Foot, the routes are well laid out and the walking guides they provide are accurate and helpful.

This is the fifth holiday we have taken with this specialist European walking holiday company. They arrange self-guided walks in a number of European locations, providing detailed walking notes, maps and gps apps for you. You set out from the hotel in the morning with your rucksack for the day and your luggage is taken to the next location for you. They have local agents to assist you if you have any issues during the trip. On one occasion we have needed such assistance due to unusual weather conditions and we received excellent and prompt response. They are a nice, low pressure, laid back company; we now try to use them at least once a year and know we will be well served.

1 late autumn week in Naxos and Amorgos, walking routes with notes and maps provided by On Foot Holidays. Wonderful accommodation and friendly staff. Excellent food (a treat for vegetarians). Excellent swimming opportunities from quiet beaches. Wonderful landscapes and sightseeing.

On Foot Holidays - from the first contact with queries about a holiday, the staff are helpful and friendly. They know their business, know their local contacts, and have an eye for detail. (For example, they had kept an eye on the local ferry timetables, keeping us informed of changes right up to the last minute).

It was a self-guided walking tour of Naxos and Amorgos (Islands in Greece)

On Foot Holidays provided very good information on the hikes. They were very quick to answer any questions during the planning of the trip. We didn’t really run into any emergency situations or anything like that.

We hiked the lovely trails of Naxos and Amorgos, ate great food and met some wonderful people.

On Foot is the best hiking holiday tour operator in Europe, We wish they would expand to other continents! This was our 2nd vacation with them and they did not disappoint. Logistics were flawless, accommodations delightful and the hikes breathtaking.

We loved each aspect of the holiday. Naxos and Amorgós offer a really varied diet, but in both we stayed in delightful hotels, with very helpful hosts, and the walks were ideally suited to our group, which needed differing degrees of arduousness. The walking notes were comprehensive and accurate, and we only wishes we had longer on the second island.

At every stage, they gave us really useful information, and were very kind and understanding when some of our original group had to drop out, and then when another friend asked to join us at the last minute. We never needed to contact their representative on Naxos, but all the people we dealt with were remarkably helpful.

Two island walking holiday based on Naxos and Amorgos. A selection of detailed walking instructions were provided and we were free to do as much or as little as we wished. The walks were interesting and well described, and there was also plenty of time for sight-seeing, swimming, and enjoying the very good food and drink. We really enjoyed visiting this relatively undeveloped area which is rich in history and natural beauty.

On Foot Holidays were very responsive and helpful following my initial request for suggestions for a walking trip in Greece. Everything was done well from start to finish, with plenty of information of where we were going and what we needed to do. There were excellent suggestions for dining, arrangements with a local taxi driver if we needed a lift, and highly detailed maps and instructions for the walks. It was a great holiday experience and we would happily use this operator again.

Reviewer's images:

We very much enjoyed the places we stayed in which reflected the real country rather than being hotels-anywhere. The people we met through the company were all helpful and friendly. The walks were well designed and very clearly explained so we could relax and enjoy the views.

They were both extremely efficient and extremely helpful. All the business side was dealt with clearly and competently, and they dealt with our questions immediately and positively.
