About this trip
Nine days moving between Athens and three Cyclades islands — Mykonos, Syros and Santorini — with two nights in each place. Ferries, transfers and breakfast are sorted for you, and beyond that the days are yours to fill.
It's a loosely structured island-hop rather than a guided tour, built around beaches, whitewashed villages and long views over the Aegean. The one fixed activity is a sunset cruise in Santorini.
Good fit if you want the logistics of hopping between islands handled while you set your own pace once you're there.
