Day 1: Athens
Welcome, island lovers, to Greece—the start of your best holiday yet! Take a moment to unpack and settle into your hotel before meeting your group this evening. Your Trip Manager will share all the details about the exciting journey ahead over the next 10 days. Then, enjoy an included dinner where you can properly greet your fellow travellers.
Day 2: Athens to Mykonos
Athens
Dive right into your island-hopping adventure with Mykonos as your first destination!
Mykonos
Spend two nights on this beautiful island—how lucky are you? The boat ride across the Aegean will leave you mesmerised. Tonight, join a locally guided walking tour to explore the charming, cobbled streets of Mykonos by night.
Day 3: Mykonos
Prepare for a day filled with stunning coastal windmills, delicious olives, feta, and tzatziki. You’ll wander through storybook streets adorned with those iconic blue domes and pick up some evil eye charms to ward off bad vibes. And this is all before you even dip into the ocean! Enjoy the sunshine and embrace the sea today!
Day 4: Mykonos to Paros
Mykonos
This morning, set sail for your next Greek island, Paros. Take a moment to appreciate how fortunate you are compared to travellers who only visit one island!
Paros
Welcome to Paros, with its stunning beaches, natural swimming coves, a Byzantine church, and charming villages. Feel free to soak up the sun and sea, or opt for an excursion to a traditional village where you can visit a local bakery and shop for handmade crafts.
Day 5: Paros
Another day of Greek island bliss awaits! Head to Naoussa, a picturesque fishing village with colourful boats and whitewashed houses. Enjoy some free time to explore the area and find dinner before checking out the local nightlife.
Day 6: Paros to Santorini
Paros
It’s been wonderful, but today you’re setting sail for Santorini, the island known for its stunning Instagram moments.
Santorini
You’ve arrived! This evening, you’ll have an included transfer to Fira, where you can explore the capital and stroll along the charming cobbled streets.
Day 7: Santorini
Good morning, Greek island explorer! Today is yours to enjoy—take a dip at Perissa Beach, savour the local specialty of fried tomato balls (domatokeftedes), or venture out to discover the island. You might also choose to visit the breathtaking village of Oia and relax on the famous black sand beach.
Day 8: Santorini to Ios
Santorini
Ios is a bit more rugged and remote, providing a refreshing change of scenery for your final island night. The good vibes and ocean time remain unchanged!
Ios
You’ll gather for an included dinner tonight, followed by a free evening to enjoy the island.
Day 9: Ios
It’s your last full day on the islands, so soak up the sun and enjoy the sandy beaches one last time! You can choose an exhilarating speedboat safari or take a leisurely stroll through the picturesque village of Ios Chora, where you can sample stuffed zucchini flowers or baked feta drizzled with olive oil at a local café. Tonight is free, so fuel up if you plan to party in Hora until dawn!
Day 10: Ios to Athens
Ios
As you wave a bittersweet goodbye to the beautiful Greek islands, keep in mind the fun boat ride ahead and one more night together in Athens.
Athens
Ready for one last dose of Athens? Soak up the Mediterranean sun this afternoon before enjoying an optional farewell dinner together.
