About this trip

Ten days across three of Greece's biggest names: Athens, Mykonos and Santorini. You get a proper mix of ancient history and island time, moving by ferry across the Aegean.

In Athens you follow the trail of the ancient city before heading out to the islands. Mykonos brings whitewashed villages, beach clubs and nightlife, while Santorini slows things down with cliffside towns and some of the best sunset views in the country.

It is an easy-paced, fully guided trip aimed at covering the highlights without you having to plan the logistics — ferries, transfers and sightseeing are all sorted for you.

What you'll do

  • Explore ancient Athens on foot, following the footsteps of its early inhabitants
  • Ferry across the Aegean to Mykonos
  • Wander Mykonos's villages and beaches, and sample its nightlife
  • Sail on to Santorini and its cliffside town
  • See Santorini's red, black and white sand beaches
  • Watch the sunset over the caldera
Good to know
  • Easy pace, fully guided — good if you want the sights covered without organising ferries and transfers yourself
  • Covers three very different settings — a history-heavy city, a party island and a scenic, laid-back island — in ten days
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want stellar guides and luxury hotels across Greek islands. Think twice if you need reliable airport logistics sorted before arrival.

  • Tour guides consistently exceptional: Lydia, Vasso, Stefanos, Sophia, Kostas made trips memorable and handled logistics seamlessly.
  • Five-star accommodation throughout, including Grand Hyatt Athens and Nimbus Mykonos with standout features like rooftop acropolis views.
  • Airport pickup coordination failed for at least one traveller; no contact info provided beforehand, required calling tour operator.
  • Final ferry Santorini-Athens is longest stretch; flight option suggested as alternative to long travel day.
