About this trip

A 12-day journey through Greece that pairs guided time on the mainland with island stays in Santorini and Mykonos. A professional guide leads the historical portion, so you get context on the sites without having to research it all yourself.

The pace is easy and the trip is set up to suit families and groups, mixing structured sightseeing with time to relax on the islands.

What you'll do

  • Guided exploration of Greece's key historical sites
  • Island time in Santorini
  • Island time in Mykonos
  • Easy-paced days suited to families and groups
Good to know
  • Partially guided — some days are led by a guide, others are more independent
  • Easy pace, suited to families and mixed-ability groups
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want a solid overview of Greek islands with decent logistics. Think twice if you want flexibility, budget accommodation, or hate large group tours.

  • Operator communicates well when delays happen; collected you within 20 minutes when driver went to wrong dock.
  • Itinerary changed without notice after booking; you arrive jet-lagged into 5-hour ferry, not the advertised order.
  • Bus tours balloon from promised 0-40 to 65 people; air con fails, bilingual repeats double everything, seats cramped.
  • Island hotels remotely located; Santorini cabs €20-40 to main town, Mykonos has steep hills, no lifts, non-drinkable tap water.
