About this trip
Six days across three of Greece's best-known spots — a night in Athens, two on Naxos, two on Santorini — with the islands linked by ferry and the days largely left for you to fill.
Beyond breakfast and a couple of organised outings, this is a self-directed island hop. You get a full-day tour of Naxos and a sunset cruise off Santorini, but otherwise the beaches, villages and viewpoints are yours to explore at your own pace.
It suits people who want the logistics (hotels, ferries, transfers) sorted for them without being tied to a group itinerary the whole way through.
What you'll do
- Full-day guided tour around Naxos
- Sunset cruise along the Santorini coast
- Ferry transfers between Athens, Naxos and Santorini
- Free time to find your own beach spots on Naxos and Santorini
- Wander Athens before heading out to the islands
- Partially guided — the Naxos tour and Santorini cruise are set, the rest of your time is unstructured
- Easy pace, with only one night in Athens before island time begins
- Suits families or groups who want a mix of organised activity and downtime
Worth it if you're happy self-guiding and don't mind sorting transfers yourself. Think twice if you expect a traditional guided tour with consistent communication.
- Elias and Dilimar's airport pickup and pre-trip info takes the stress completely out of arrival.
- Hotels in Athens are often far from city centre and communication about ferry and taxi transfers is patchy.
- This isn't a guided group tour; you're arranging most activities solo once you arrive at each destination.
- Naxos and Santorini hotels consistently impress; Santorini caldera cruise and sunsets genuinely deliver.
