About this trip
Ten days that split neatly in two: island time first, then mainland history. You start in Athens before ferrying out to Mykonos and Santorini for a stretch of proper island leisure, then head back to the mainland for guided visits to Delphi and Meteora.
The pace shifts as you go. Mykonos and Santorini are loose and self-directed, with time to wander, swim, and eat at your own speed. Once you're back on the mainland the tour tightens up, with guided sightseeing at the Acropolis, Delphi's ancient sanctuary, and the cliffside monasteries of Meteora.
Transfers, ferries, and a domestic flight back to Athens are all built in, so the logistics of getting between islands and inland sites are handled for you. It suits travellers who want both the classic Cyclades postcard and a genuine dose of Greek history, rather than just one or the other.
