Athens - Mykonos - Santorini - Crete

Start & end in Athens 10 days Up to 20

About this trip

Ten days across Athens and three of the best-known Greek islands, giving you a real taste of both city history and island time rather than rushing through either.

Start in Athens with a half-day city tour taking in the major ancient sites, then island-hop to Mykonos for beaches and easy evenings, Santorini for the cliffside towns and sunsets, and finally Crete, where four days split between Heraklion and Chania leave room to explore villages and food at your own pace.

It's a fairly relaxed format — guided where it counts, with plenty of free time built in for you to wander, eat, and swim as you like.

What you'll do

  • Half-day guided tour of Athens' ancient monuments
  • Beach days and local wine in Mykonos
  • Red Beach and White Beach in Santorini, plus the view from Imerovigli
  • Sunset over the Aegean from Santorini's cliffside towns
  • Four days based in Heraklion and Chania to explore Crete's villages and food
Good to know
  • Island-hopping trip with a mix of guided elements and free time for your own exploring
  • Four days in Crete gives more time to settle in than the shorter stops in Mykonos and Santorini
  • Private rooms throughout, suited to those who want company on the road without sharing a room
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want a relaxed, well-organised island hop with a knowledgeable guide. Think twice if you need spontaneity or aren't keen on structured group travel.

  • Guide Adelpha consistently made trips personal with interesting stories and practical recommendations across all locations.
  • Small group size fostered genuine connections; reviewers bonded over meals and sunsets rather than feeling herded.
  • Transfers ran on time, hotels were comfortable with daily breakfasts included, logistics required zero hassle throughout.
  • Reviews focus heavily on guided experience; little detail on actual costs, free time flexibility, or activities beyond scenic exploration.
