On the island of Naxos, meet a 15-foot-tall boy who broke his leg 2,600 years ago. The Flerio Kouros hasn’t healed...he seems kind of lonely...and you can enjoy an unforgettable moment alone in a shady corner of that sun-burnt island with him.
Look for our new Greek Isles guidebook in 2027!

I’m just finishing up two weeks of pedal-to-the-metal research as we update our “Rick Steves Greece” guidebook and work on a new Greek Islands guidebook, coming in 2027. Every day, I’ve found new ways to connect vividly with the local culture... which often involves eating and drinking.
Back in 1978, when I was just 23 years old, I traveled with my best friend from Istanbul to Kathmandu — and almost 50 years later, my journal from that trip became a NYT Best Seller.
Pick up a paperback edition of “On the Hippie Trail” today — and stow away with me on the adventure of a lifetime!
Now’s a good time for a rewatch of Rick Steves’ The Story of Fascism in Europe....
