About this trip
An 8-day island-hopping tour through Greece, starting in Athens and taking in the Aegean's turquoise waters and old town streets in a small, semi-private group.
The mix leans toward hands-on and local — a cooking class in Crete, a cliff-side dinner in Santorini — alongside time to explore each island's own character.
Rated easy-paced and fully guided, it suits travellers who want the classic Greek islands covered without planning the logistics themselves.
What you'll do
- Explore Athens before heading out to the islands
- Take a hands-on cooking class in Crete
- Swim in the turquoise waters of the Aegean
- Wander the towns and villages along the route
- Dine cliff-side in Santorini
- Semi-private group format, smaller and more personalised than a standard group tour
- Rated easy, so a relaxed pace throughout
Worth it if you value seamless logistics, local authenticity and exceptional food. Think twice if you need a slower pace or prefer independent exploration.
- George's local contacts unlock genuine experiences—cooking classes in private homes, olive oil tastings—you won't find on standard itineraries.
- Two knowledgeable guides (George and Babis) handle everything; pre-trip comms are thorough, timing runs to the minute, zero logistical stress.
- Full itinerary keeps you engaged all day; travellers must be willing to try unfamiliar foods and accept a moderately active pace throughout.
- Small group van travel and premium 4-5 star hotels mean this is positioned at the higher end; comfort and curation come at a cost.
