About this trip

Ten days moving through four Greek islands — Zakynthos, Naxos, Paros and Santorini — with two nights in each, at your own pace. Ferries and transfers are arranged for you, but the days themselves are left open.

Beyond breakfast and a couple of organised cruises, this is a self-guided trip: you decide how to spend your time on each island, whether that's finding a beach, wandering a village or just sitting somewhere with a view.

It suits people who want the logistics of island-hopping handled but no fixed schedule telling them what to do each day.

What you'll do

  • Cruise to Navagio beach and the blue caves in Zakynthos
  • Half-day volcano cruise around Santorini
  • Explore Naxos at your own pace
  • Time on Paros's beaches
  • Watch the sunset from Santorini
  • Island-hop by ferry between Zakynthos, Naxos, Paros and Santorini
Good to know
  • Self-guided and private — no group, no set itinerary beyond the two included cruises
  • Two nights at each island means a fair amount of packing and moving on
  • Days are largely unstructured, so it suits people happy to plan their own time
