About this trip
This is a self-guided island-hopping trip through the Cyclades, with a few nights in Athens before you move on to Naxos, Ios and Santorini. The islands and transport are arranged for you, but your days are largely your own.
Expect beach time, wandering through village lanes, and watching the sun go down over the caldera, with one organised outing along the way — a half-day cruise to Santorini's volcano.
It suits people who want the logistics of island hopping sorted (ferries, transfers, hotels) without being tied to a group schedule.
