About this trip
This is a self-guided island-hopping package through Greece, staying at premium hotels in Athens, Mykonos, Santorini and Heraklion in Crete. Ferries and transfers between islands are arranged for you, so the days are yours to fill as you like.
It suits a slower, independent pace rather than a guided group schedule — think beach time, wandering village lanes and watching the sun go down, with one organised sunset cruise in Santorini as the fixed highlight.
What you'll do
- Sunset cruise around Santorini's caldera
- Explore the whitewashed villages of Mykonos
- Time on Crete based in Heraklion
- A night in Athens before island-hopping begins
- Ferry transfers between islands included
- This is self-guided and private, not a group tour — you move between islands independently using the included ferries and transfers
- Days are largely unstructured, so it suits travellers who want beach time and freedom over a packed itinerary
- Only breakfast is included; other meals are up to you

Your free day in Athens
Landing early, staying on, or filling free time? The best-rated day experiences in Athens — you book on Viator (we may earn a commission).
Worth it if you're booking last-minute and want seamless logistics. Think twice if you value independence, prefer pre-arranged activities, or want to avoid unexpected local costs.
- Ferry transfers and hotel locations were genuinely seamless; staff responded quickly to pre-trip questions.
- Post-activity transport coordination failed badly: 20-minute waits in heat, wrong buses, 45-minute detours, extra costs.
- Hotel taxes and city fees are not prepaid; you'll pay extras on arrival that aren't flagged upfront.
- Zero activities pre-arranged in Athens or Heraklion; you're paying mainly for hotel and ferry bookings you could do independently.
