About this trip
This is a self-paced island-hopping route that takes you from Athens to Paros and then Santorini, with the ferries, transfers and hotels sorted so you can focus on exploring each stop.
Two nights in each place gives you a real chance to settle in rather than just pass through, with days left free for you to wander villages, find your own beach, or just sit somewhere with a view. The organised extras — an Antiparos cruise and a Santorini sunset sail — are built in alongside your own free time.
It suits people who want the logistics of island hopping handled without being tied to a group schedule all day.
What you'll do
- Explore Athens before heading out to the islands
- Ferry across to Paros and settle in for two nights
- Take a cruise over to Antiparos
- Sail to Santorini and spend your days at leisure
- Join a sunset cruise around Santorini's caldera
- Wander whitewashed villages and find your own stretch of beach
- Days are largely unstructured — good if you want to explore independently rather than follow a set itinerary
- Only breakfast is included, so budget for other meals
- 3-star hotels throughout, with ferries and transfers between islands arranged for you
