Is this trip right for you?
verified
As this trip only has limited time in Athens, we highly recommend staying a few extra days before your tour to enjoy all this amazing destination has to offer.
verified
The main means of transportation on this trip is by public ferry. These ferries are large, and transport hundreds of people, along with cars and trucks. There are no reserved seats and passengers are free to walk around the ferry freely. Luggage is stored in a designated area on the car deck and is not accessible while the ferry is moving.
verified
Summer temperatures in Greece can reach up to 40°C, which can be uncomfortable for those not used to the heat. Please consider the time of the year you wish to travel and your suitability for that season.
verified
Some of the Greek Islands are hilly and mountainous, which means steps are an inherent feature of the landscape. You will need to be able to lift your luggage and carry it up and down stairs and inclines. We recommend packing as lightly as possible for this reason. For more information, check out the "Packing" section of the Essential Trip Information.
Itinerary
Island hop between paradisical beaches, coves and nightlife hotspots in Greece
Calling all nature lovers, beachside loungers and avid explorers – this eight-day adventure will take you to all the hotspots throughout the famous Greek Islands. Explore an ancient citadel in Athens, then take a ferry to Paros in the Aegean Sea. See traditional villages, natural swimming coves and maybe even take a ride to the sister island Antiparos for a local bite. Head to the village of Lefkes and explore the scenic olive-grove locale before a lunch of moussaka, dolmas and Greek salad. Head to Ios – a hub of vibrant nightlife and countless beaches to kick back on – and watch the sunset over an iconic city with some new mates. End it all in Santorini, where you can hike off the refreshing glass (or glasses) of the country’s most popular wine and sit down for another epic sunset. This is the perfect way to forge new friendships!

This trip is AMAZING, except it is very short, so I’d recommend staying an extra day in Athens to see the Acropolis, and then travelling to a few islands on your own afterwards to fully appreciate the greek islands. This is a perfect introduction to them!! The accomodation and ferry rides were so comfortable and beautiful, and the locations were gorgeous.

Fantastic trip! Our tour leader Georgia was so excited to share every bit about the Greek Islands, especially the food! She was very kind and passionate about her home country Greece and took time to get to know each and every one is our group. Wonderful experiences, very full on trip.

This was my first trip to take as a solo traveler and I am looking forward to taking many more. Don’t hesitate to book this trip. We were given plenty of free time and choices of activities that peaked all of our interests. Amazing food, beautiful sandy beaches, crystal blue water, picturesque sunsets, and fun nightlife. Georgia, our guide, was super attentive and organized. She was always willing to help and was a pleasure to be around. I met so many lovely people on the trip and am leaving with fond memories.

I can’t recommend this trip enough. Initially, I was anxious in a new place, but all of my fears quickly subsided as I formed new friendships and felt more confident and comfortable under the guidance of our group leader, Evelina, who was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the local culture and history and always communicated this knowledge to us. Evelina was always organised and made us feel comfortable, even when group members would experience logistical issues during the trip, she always did everything she could to find solutions for us. My knowledge of the areas I visited has improved significantly, along with my independence and confidence while travelling.
