Preview – Island Hopping in the Aegean: Paros, Naxos & Mykonos with Lexi
May 17, 2027 - May 24, 2027
Hosted by Lexi Serra, this 8-day island-hopping escape through the Cyclades blends sun-soaked adventure with rich cultural discovery, taking you deep into the heart of the Aegean. With expert local guidance and a like-minded group, you will experience Greece beyond the surface – from hidden walking trails and traditional villages to unforgettable moments out on the water.
Begin in Paros, where marble-paved Byzantine paths wind through the mountains and lead you into the island’s timeless interior, before drifting into the vibrant harbour life of Naoussa. Continue to Naxos, the fertile and flavour-packed heart of the Cyclades, where you will sail to the turquoise waters of Koufonisia, swim inside the dramatic Rina Cave, and immerse yourself in a hands-on garden-to-table cooking experience using fresh, local ingredients. Along the way, seamless ferry crossings reveal iconic views across the Aegean, including the striking Portara rising from the sea.
The journey concludes in Mykonos, where relaxed beach days meet cosmopolitan energy, and golden sunsets give way to lively evenings beneath the island’s famous windmills. During your time on the islands, join Lexi for a special Building Your Dreams masterclass, designed to inspire fresh perspectives, spark new ideas, and create space to reflect on the life you want to build. This is more than a trip through the Greek Islands – it is a shared experience shaped by culture, connection, and the simple joy of Mediterranean living.

Lexi Serra
Hi bestie! I’m Lexi — a Chicago-based college creator and world traveler. I’ve explored everywhere from Bali to Italy to sailing the Caribbean. Exploring the world has completely changed my perspectives, confidence and friendships. I love to share those experiences online and build a community through it all.
Group trips are my favorite way to explore, as it’s not just about the destination but the memories and people. After hosting my first trip in Thailand, I’m so excited to be hosting my second in Greece! Every trip I plan is designed to push you out of your comfort zone, create unforgettable moments, and leave you with lifelong friends.
Greece has been on my bucket list for years, and I can’t imagine a better way to experience it for the first time than with a group of like-minded girls ready for adventure. Come solo or bring a friend, and leave with a whole new group of besties. I can’t wait to meet you all!!

Spend the afternoon easing into the experience with a swim in the crystal-clear waters or a relaxed wander along the coast. As the sun dips, we come together for a welcome dinner, raising a glass to the week ahead and the memories about to unfold.
