About this trip
Ten days across four bases: Athens, Zakynthos, Mykonos and Santorini, with ferries and transfers handling the moves between them.
Three nights in Athens and two apiece on the islands gives you a proper spread of city time and beach time, with breakfast included throughout and a handful of guided tours dropped in among mostly free days.
It's built for pottering rather than packing in activities — sandy coves, whitewashed villages and sunset-watching are the main event, with the included tours covering the bits you'd want a guide for.
What you'll do
- Half-day tour of Delos, the ancient island near Mykonos
- Full-day guided tour of Santorini
- Full-day Shipwreck Tour & Cruise around Zakynthos
- Ferry hops between Athens, Zakynthos, Mykonos and Santorini
- Free time to find your own beaches and villages on each island
- Easy pace with plenty of unstructured time — good if you want to explore at your own speed rather than follow a packed schedule
- Partially guided — a few set tours, otherwise you're on your own for meals and activities
- 3-star hotels throughout, breakfast included but other meals are not
