Ancient Ruins & Caldera Views: Athens & Santorini

Start & end in Athens 7 days Up to 10

About this trip

Seven days split between Athens and Santorini, with enough breathing room to explore both at your own pace. You start in Athens with free time to wander the ancient sites, then transfer over to Santorini for a complete change of scene.

On the island expect whitewashed villages, cliffside views over the Aegean and time on some of its well-known beaches. A Caldera boat tour gets you out on the water for a proper look at the volcanic scenery from below.

It's a partially guided trip, so you get a handful of organised highlights alongside plenty of downtime to fill in as you like.

What you'll do

  • Free time to explore ancient Athens
  • Transfer to Santorini by sea or air
  • Wander whitewashed villages perched above the caldera
  • Relax on Santorini's well-known beaches
  • Sail and swim on a Caldera boat tour
  • Take in Aegean views from the island's cliffs
Good to know
  • Mostly free time with a mix of guided highlights, so it suits people happy to plan some of their own days
  • Relaxing pace overall — this is city plus island time, not a packed itinerary
  • Suits families and groups travelling over Christmas or New Year
