• 2 Dinner (D)
• 7 Breakfast (B)

• London: A modular trip means fellow travellers will join and leave at various locations. There’ll be some goodbyes, sure, but there’ll also be plenty of hellos with new like-minded travellers.
• Athens: You’ll find a standard seat reserved for you while you’re sailing between the mainland and islands. (Mhm, travelling just like the locals!)
• Athens: Looking to disconnect from the world (and connect with your new travel pals)? Ferries are the place to be. The Wi-Fi and phone signal when sailing between islands (understandably) tends to be weak. That’s why we always recommend using an e-SIM or getting a local SIM so you can have continued connectivity. But there’s no need to worry if you don’t have one. All accommodations throughout the trip will have Wi-Fi available – so you can keep your Insta followers updated on all the fun!
• Athens: Almost every time. Most of our accommodations tend to have pool facilities. But hey, you’ve got the sparkling Aegean waters of Greece by your side. So if you wanna take a swim, you’ve got the entire sea to explore.
• Athens: Ferry departure & arrival timings tend to change for every trip. So if you’d like to know the exact time, you can contact our 24/7 customer service centre.
• London: Your Trip Manager will advise you on who you’ll share your room with. On this trip, you’ll stay in a multi-share room with other travellers of the same sex.

• Mykonos: Paradise Beach in Mykonos is one of the most iconic beaches, not only in Greece, but in the world! And this resort is right on the beach. Think gorgeous sunset views and direct access to the beach. 
• Athens: All aboard! Time to sail from Athens to Mykonos, checking out that glittering sea view as we go. Includes reserved seating.
• Mykonos: We’ll set sail from marvellous Mykonos to perfect Paros, with reserved seating included.
• Paros: We’ll board the ferry in Paros and set sail for the sultry island of Santorini. With reserved seating included.
• Santorini: Enjoy a day trip to Fira and bask in the golden sun as you walk through Santorini’s iconic white houses and blue domes. This is the perfect photo op so make sure your phones and cameras are at the ready!

Age 18-22 Hostels

Attend a Greek wedding show where performers whisk you into island celebration—live bouzouki, circle steps, and the chance to dance the syrtaki and even smash a plate (safely) amid cheers.

Costumes, toasts of “ya mas,” and call-and-response songs capture the spirit of Cycladic hospitality in one joy-filled evening. This optional experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Sail across the Aegean from the mainland to Mykonos with reserved seating, watching headlands and islets drift by in a changing palette of blues. Step outside for sea air and snapshots as gulls draft the wake and the Cyclades appear on the horizon.

Greece’s island routes have linked communities for millennia; today they carry you toward whitewashed lanes and windmills. This crossing isn’t just a transfer—it’s your first chapter of sun, salt, and open-water freedom.

Glide between islands as you ferry hop between the Cyclades from Mykonos to Paros. Settle into your seat or claim a rail spot for sunlit deck views of cobalt seas, scattered chapels, and sugar-cube villages clinging to low hills.

Paros sits at the heart of ancient maritime routes and is famed for Parian marble—once carved into temples and statues across the Aegean. The short crossing sets a relaxed pace and keeps the island-to-island rhythm alive.

Cruise south toward Santorini and feel anticipation rise as you approach Santorini’s caldera cliffs. The volcanic archipelago comes into view—sheer rock walls crowned by whitewashed villages like chalk against obsidian stone.

This dramatic arrival hints at the island’s explosive past—the Bronze Age eruption that shaped the bay and fed legends of lost worlds. Keep your camera ready; the seaborne entrance is among Greece’s most stirring moments.

Share a warmly hosted home-cooked dinner that spotlights Cycladic recipes—think sun-ripened tomatoes, capers, local cheeses, and fragrant oregano—paired with easy conversation after a day by the sea.

Afterward, take an included transfer to Fira for an easy orientation through whitewashed lanes edging the caldera. Pause for caldera views where blue domes and bell towers frame the volcanic bay, and get insider pointers on late-night cafés, lookout terraces, and tomorrow’s must-see corners.

Join a locally guided walking tour through Mykonos Town after dark, weaving past sugar-white lanes to the Kato Mili windmills and the waterside balconies of Little Venice. Lantern light and sea breeze set a lively mood for photos and stories.

Hear tales of pirates, traders, and Cycladic architecture as you explore tucked-away chapels and café-lined alleys. This optional experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Visit a family-run winery to learn how Paros’s sun, sea breeze, and limestone soils shape its vintages, and sample regional wines—notably the PDO Paros blends rooted in local grape traditions.

Continue to a traditional village before strolling Naoussa’s old harbor, where fishing boats bob beside whitewashed alleys splashed with bougainvillea. Choose a cozy meze spot or gelato bar and soak up the evening scene. This optional experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Sail the Cyclades on a full-day cruise around Paros and nearby islets, dropping anchor to swim in turquoise coves and laze on deck between swims. Sea breezes, cliff backdrops, and glass-clear water define the day.

Depending on conditions, your captain may skirt sea caves and sculpted shorelines near Antiparos for more photo stops. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a hat. This optional experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Travel to the Oia clifftop village to frame the blue-domed churches and sweeping caldera panoramas. White lanes, art galleries, and wind-brushed terraces set the tone for camera-ready moments.

Continue to one of Santorini’s famed black-sand beaches—typically Perissa or Kamari—for a swim and downtime along the volcanic shore. If schedules align, Oia’s golden hour is a highlight. This optional experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Contiki

Settle into Athens with an included dinner at a neighborhood taverna and meet your Trip Manager and travel mates. Share first laughs over Greek mezze—think tzatziki, grilled souvlaki, village salad, and warm pita—while a cheerful “yamas” rings around the table.

Learn useful local tips and etiquette as you tune into the capital’s easygoing rhythm, rooted in philoxenia—Greek hospitality. In districts near the historic center, conversations flow late into the evening, with the Acropolis aglow above the city and your adventure clearly mapped out.
