About this trip
Eleven days that start with Athens and its ancient sights before handing you over to the Aegean. From there it's island time — Mykonos, Paros, Santorini and Ios, with the pace shifting from history to beach days and late nights.
This is a small group trip built around swimming, sunbathing and ferry-hopping between islands, with enough structure to see the big sights but plenty of room to just be by the sea.
What you'll do
- Explore Athens' ancient sights
- Island hop by ferry to Mykonos, Paros, Santorini and Ios
- Beach days and saltwater swims across the Aegean
- Take in Santorini's caldera views
- Late nights out on Ios and Mykonos
- Aimed at 18-22 year olds travelling in a group
- Easy pace but you change islands regularly, so expect some early ferries
- Mixes daytime sightseeing with a lively nightlife scene
Worth it if you want structured island hopping with brilliant guides and a party-focused group vibe. Think twice if you need independent pace or worry about guide quality being inconsistent.
- Tour guides like Stasi, Dem, and Maddie genuinely elevate the trip—knowledgeable, inclusive, and hands-on problem-solving.
- Mix of optional excursions (ruins, volcano hikes, boat tours) lets you control pace without missing activities.
- Guide quality varies sharply; one guide left groups stranded, prioritised girls over safety and duty.
- Late-night partying plus early starts create rough days; basic rooms offset low cost but minimal sleep expected.
