About this trip
Nine days moving through some of Greece's best-known islands, starting in Athens and finishing in Santorini, with Mykonos and Ios along the way.
Expect a mix of ancient history and beach time — mornings exploring ruins or old towns, afternoons in the sea, evenings out with the group.
A fully guided, easy-paced trip that takes the logistics of island hopping off your hands so you can focus on the islands themselves.
What you'll do
- Explore ancient Athens
- Island hop between Mykonos, Ios and Santorini
- Snorkel in Santorini's waters
- Spend an afternoon at Mykonos' beach clubs
- Take in Ios' nightlife scene
- Fully guided, so transfers and logistics between islands are handled for you
- Easy pace overall, but nights out in Ios and Mykonos can run late
- Suits travellers who want a mix of sightseeing and beach/party time rather than one or the other
Worth it if you want brilliant guide-led group bonding and don't mind accommodation sometimes falling short of photos. Think twice if you need packed itineraries—some days have long gaps between activities.
- Guide quality is exceptional—Tess and Will are genuinely passionate, funny, knowledgeable and actively look after solo travellers' wellbeing.
- Accommodation photos misrepresent reality; Mykonos described as beachside hut rather than advertised, and overpriced for what you get.
- Santorini and Mykonos locations isolate you from town; you'll have dead time waiting for evening activities rather than exploring freely.
- Group dynamics are a huge part of the experience; it's genuinely designed as a solo-traveller bonding trip with built-in social time.
