About this trip

Eight days across three very different parts of Greece: the history and buzz of Athens, then island time on Zakynthos and Santorini. A professional guide travels with you, so you're not left working out logistics on your own.

It's built as an easy-paced trip with your own private room throughout, which makes it a comfortable option if you're travelling as a family or in a mixed group rather than backpacking solo.

What you'll do

  • Guided time in Athens
  • Island stop on Zakynthos
  • Island stop on Santorini
  • Private room accommodation throughout
Good to know
  • Easy pace overall, suited to families and mixed-age groups
  • Partially guided — a professional guide is with you for parts of the trip rather than the whole way
