After popular demand we created an island hopping adventure with some of the most popular Aegean islands out there! After landing in Athens and spending a day acclimating to the Greek pace of life, you will move on to Paros, an island that combines all that have come to be associated with the Cyclades. Beautiful blue beaches, white-washed houses, museums in every village and an assortment of churches, monasteries and archaeological sites. Paros has a twin island called Antiparos, so during your stay there you can opt to explore it as well!

You won't have to travel far for your next destination, as Naxos is just a short ferry ride away. It is an island brimming with traditions in every aspect of life, from cheese & wine making to liqueur distillation as well as crafts like pottery, weaving and woodworking. Every corner of Naxos has a story to tell and exploring it will be an exciting endeavor. Last but not least, you will visit Santorini, a Greek island that needs no introduction. The crescent-shaped Santorini sits on the rim of a dormant volcano and the only thing more impressive than its golden sunsets is the breathtaking caldera views which you can enjoy from every spot on the island!

    Overnight: Athens
    Meals: Breakfast
     
  • Day 3 – Arrival in Paros
    As promised, in the morning you will be picked up at your hotel and be transported to the port of Piraeus to begin the islandic leg of your trip. Once you reach your hotel, get some quick rest before heading out to catch your first taste of Cycladic life! Whitewashed houses, narrow cobblestone alleys and the deep blue of the Aegean Sea paint a picture that is somehow even more magnificent in real life than you would expect from photos.

    Overnight: Paros
    Meals: Breakfast
     
  • Days 4 & 5 – Explore Paros
    Paros is home not only to beautiful beaches and incredible Cycladic scenery, but also to a multitude of monasteries and churches. The most prominent is undoubtedly Panagia Ekatontapyliani, one of the oldest standing churches in Greece, as it was built during the 4th century AD. The largest towns on the island each come with their own castles, with Naousa boasting a Venetian one in the harbor, while the capital Parikia is home to Frangokastelo (or ‘Frankish Castle’, even though the Venetians built that one as well).  Paros also houses 8 different museums, ranging from an archaeological museum to a wine museum to honor the island’s great tradition in viticulture.
    Overnight: Paros
    Meals: 2 Breakfasts
     
  • Day 6 – Arrival in Naxos
    In the morning you will meet our Parian colleague at your hotel and be transported to the port in time to catch a ferry to the second island in your itinerary, Naxos. Paros and Naxos have a unique synergy, often described as sister islands. Even though they bear many similarities, they also have many points of difference that makes them unique. Get ready to start your own comparisons as soon as our local collaborator in Naxos drops you off at your hotel!
    Overnight: Naxos
    Meals: Breakfast
     
  • Days 7 & 8 – A Naxian Experience
     If there is one thing that truly sets Naxos apart from most other islands in the Cyclades, it’s the sheer multitude of wonderful villages full of unique customs and traditions! The Naxian countryside is bursting with dozens of picturesque settlements with the most popular including Chalki, Apiranthos and Filoti. Lesser known gems like Sifones, Eggares and Lionas have nothing to be jealous of, as each one has its own charming allure. You explore there with the help of a guide during a customizable, private tour should you wish. There are also many sites tied to antiquity in Naxos, such as the Portara Gate in the ruins of the Temple of Apollo, the ancient Temple of Demeter and the Archaeological site of Yria, just to name a few. 
    Overnight: Naxos
    Meals: Breakfast
     
  • Day 9 – Welcome to Santorini!
    Leave Naxos behind and with the help of our local assistant head to the port. Your next destination will be easily recognizable before you even dock, as the stunning rocks of the Santorinian caldera rise from the water. On their slopes, little white and blue houses dots spill downwards in an unmistakably Cycladic fashion. You are in Santorini! As you have come to expect by now, you will be escorted to your hotel by a local professional and then are free to begin your exploration!
    Overnight: Santorini
    Meals: Breakfast
     
  • Day 10 – Get a taste of Santorini
    Time to sample the most renowned Greek island! One day might seem too little when there is an abundance of things to do and see, so spend your time wisely. Fira, the main town of Santorini is worth exploring, but a trip to the picturesque village of Oia can be very alluring, especially as the sun goes down and the sky fills with a golden hue. For a true taste of islandic life, you can take a sailing cruise around Santorini and watch the sun dip into the Aegean Sea from the deck of a catamaran!
    Overnight: Santorini
    Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
     
  • Day 11 – Return to Athens
    As you leave behind Santorini, you will make your way to the airport with the assistance of our local representative and take a short flight back to Athens. You will be picked up and transported to your selected accommodation and thus begins your last night in Greece! Rejoice as this means one last chance to taste Greek delicacies, experience the Athenian nightlife and glance at the majestic Acropolis as it lights up on a beautiful summer's night!
    Overnight: Athens
    Meals: Breakfast
     
  • Day 12 – Departure from Athens
