An adventure awaits you in Greece!
Life with Jesus is about the journey.
As women, we move quickly through life. In the midst of serving and doing good in the world, we often forget to take time to refuel. Our trip to Naxos and Santorini is journey about slowing down, intentionally engaging in conversation and taking each moment with reflection and purpose.
Experience discipleship using the ancient tradition of pilgrimage, building relationships along the way. Get outside of your limits and walk a path where thousands have walked before. Gather with women and talk about what real community and life looks like. What does it mean to be a woman in today’s society and actively seek the Lord?
During this 7-day trek, you will learn to find your strength in God and to focus on true discipleship in community.
Your group will explore the beautiful Greek Islands of Naxos and Santorini. You will walk through ancient olive groves, along cobbled paths, past a Venetian fortress, explore an ancient quarry, and even climb the mythical Mount Zas. Around every turn will be views of the turquoise Aegean Sea.
We will fly into Santorini where a private transfer will take you to the port of Santorini to catch your onward ferry to Naxos, and begin our journey the following day. Each night we will be staying at a local hotel, in the morning we will gather, pray, pack our lunch and be transferred to a different portion of the island to explore by foot. Upon arrival back to the hotel, there will be time to explore, rest, debrief our day and find the perfect dinner spot.
The itinerary is as follows:
- DAY 1: Arrive Santorini. Ferry to Naxos
- DAY 2: Chalki to Melanes: 3 or 5 hours
- DAY 3: Walk to Mt. Zas: 3, 5 or 7 hours
- DAY 4: Ferry from Naxos to Santorini: 1 to 2 hours
- DAY 5: Perissa to Akrotiri: 6 hours
- DAY 6: Fira to Oia: 3 hours
- DAY 7: Circular walk from Akrotiri: 2 or 5 hours
- DAY 8: Depart Santorini
All along the trail, you’ll experience unique, spontaneous ministry opportunities as you grow close to other hikers and speak into their lives. Seek and find where God is growing you when you find you have nothing more to depend on but Him, and grow with like-minded travelers searching together for a deeper faith.
*Note: Due to the nature of this journey and each woman finishing their day in different intervals, dinner is not included in the trip cost and will need to be paid for separately.
All women must be 21 or older at time of trip.*
