About this trip
This is a self-guided island-hopping package through Greece, with premium hotels and ferries booked for you but your days left free to fill as you like.
You get a night in Athens plus stops across Santorini, Heraklion, Chania and Mykonos, with breakfast included throughout and a sunset cruise in Santorini as the one fixed activity.
It suits a relaxed pace — you're not on a group itinerary, just moving between islands with the logistics sorted and time to explore each place on your own terms.
What you'll do
- Sunset cruise off Santorini
- Wander the old town in Chania
- Explore Heraklion on Crete
- See Athens on your one night in the capital
- Time on sandy beaches across the islands
- Ferry transfers between islands included
- Self-guided — no group leader or fixed daily plan, so it suits people who like organising their own time
- Ferries and transfers between islands are arranged for you, only breakfast is included as a meal
- Good for travellers who want island scenery and downtime rather than a packed sightseeing schedule
