About this trip

Four islands in ten days: Zakynthos, Naxos, Paros and Santorini, with two nights in a 4-star hotel on each. Ferries and transfers between them are sorted for you, so the logistics of island hopping are taken care of.

The pace mixes guided days with time to do your own thing — a cruise around Antiparos, a full day exploring Naxos, a semi-private look at Santorini, and a Shipwreck Tour & Cruise in Zakynthos. Beyond that, you're free to find your own beach, village or sunset spot.

Breakfast is included daily, and the rest of your time is yours to fill as you like.

What you'll do

  • Cruise around Antiparos
  • Full-day guided tour of Naxos
  • Semi-private tour of Santorini
  • Shipwreck Tour & Cruise in Zakynthos
  • Ferry travel between four Greek islands
Good to know
  • You change island roughly every two nights, so expect regular packing and moving on
  • Partially guided — some days are organised tours, others are free time
  • Suits those who want a taste of several islands rather than settling into one
