Meet your Trip Manager and fellow travellers in Athens for an introduction to the Greek island journey. Hear what to expect and get to know the group over an included welcome dinner.

This hosted gathering offers a chance to share plans and settle into the easygoing rhythm of travelling together before exploring the Cyclades.

Step onto Paradise Beach directly from your beachfront resort in Mykonos. Spend time beside the Aegean, with swimming and sea views close at hand rather than a separate journey away.

This celebrated stretch of coast is known for its lively beach atmosphere. The resort’s location also puts sunset views over the water within easy reach during your stay.

Stroll through Mykonos’s cobbled streets and take in the island’s whitewashed buildings and blue-domed details. Look out for the coastal windmills, whose silhouettes recall the island’s maritime and agricultural past.

Along the way, you may see blue-and-white evil-eye ornaments displayed in local shops. These traditional charms are associated with protection against misfortune and offer a glimpse of a belief found throughout Greece.

Explore Fira on an included day trip to Santorini’s clifftop capital. Walk among whitewashed houses and blue domes, with plenty of opportunities to photograph the town’s distinctive Cycladic architecture.

Fira sits above the island’s volcanic caldera, where closely packed buildings follow the contours of the steep hillside. Its lanes and viewpoints bring Santorini’s dramatic landscape and island-town atmosphere together in one place.

Explore Mykonos Town by night with a local guide, following its cobbled streets as the whitewashed lanes take on a different character after dark. The guided walk offers a closer look at the town beyond its beach scene.

Mykonos Town’s compact layout, traditional buildings and lively evening atmosphere make it especially rewarding to discover on foot. This optional experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Visit a family-run winery on Paros and discover a more rural side of the Cyclades. The optional outing also takes in a local village and the fishing village of Naoussa.

Paros has a long winegrowing tradition, while Naoussa’s harbour and village streets reflect the island’s enduring connection to the sea. This optional excursion is at additional cost and bookable on tour; specific winery activities are confirmed locally.

Sail around Paros and nearby islands for a full day on the Aegean. Enjoy time to sunbathe, relax on board and swim in the clear water during the outing.

Seeing the islands from the sea reveals the coves and coastlines that shape the Cycladic landscape. The unhurried pace makes this a sea-focused alternative to exploring Paros on land. This optional experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Join an evening cruise in Santorini and take in views of Fira from the water. The town’s white buildings stand out against the island’s steep volcanic landscape.

A perspective from the sea shows how closely Santorini’s settlements follow the contours of the cliffs. This is an opportunity to experience the island’s scenery away from its streets. The optional cruise is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Visit Oia, Santorini’s village of narrow lanes and whitewashed buildings, on an optional island outing. The excursion also includes a stop at one of Santorini’s black-sand beaches.

Oia’s architecture and coastal setting contrast with a shoreline formed from the island’s volcanic material. Together, the two stops show different sides of Santorini’s distinctive landscape. This optional experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Attend a Greek wedding-themed experience in Santorini for an evening centred on celebration and local entertainment. Expect a spirited atmosphere, with the itinerary even hinting that some plates may be sacrificed.

Rather than a sightseeing stop, this is a chance to take part in a festive cultural occasion and enjoy its communal energy. The optional experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour; details are confirmed locally.
