Itinerary
Hello island lovers! Welcome to Greece, and welcome to the best holiday of your life. It's a big call to make on day 1, but we're making it! Take a minute to unpack and settle in to our hotel before we meet up this evening. First your Trip Manager will give you the rundown of what to expect over the next 8 days, then exchange proper hellos with your fellow travellers over an included dinner.
Accommodation: Dorian Inn (or similar)
Meals: Dinner
With no time to waste, we'll start our Greek island hopping adventures today with our first destination: Mykonos. Let's do this! Two nights on the island of Mykonos, how did we get so lucky? Even the boat ride across the Aegean will have you awe struck and in love. Tonight, you'll have the option to join an exploration of Mykonos by night on a locally guided walking tour of the town's cobbled streets.
Accommodation: Paradise Beach (upgraded rooms) (or similar)
Meals: Breakfast
Get ready for a day full of viewing coastal windmills, stuffing your face with olives, feta, and tzatziki. We'll stroll down storybook streets dotted with those gorgeous blue domes and we'll pick up some evil eye ornaments along the way to keep the bad vibes away. And this is all before you've even taken a dip in the ocean! Doesn't get much better than this... The day is yours to soak up the sunshine and play in the sea.
Accommodation: Paradise Beach (upgraded rooms) (or similar)
Meals: Breakfast
This morning we're on to our next Greek island, Paros. Let's spare a thought for all those travellers who only get to visit just one Greek Island, and then remember how lucky we are. Beaches, naturally sculpted swimming coves, a Byzantine church and traditional villages: we must be in Paros. You're free to get into the sun and sea vibes. Feel like exploring even further? Sign up for an optional trip to a local, family-run winery before heading to a local village and finishing off in the fishing village of Naoussa.
Accommodation: Siroco's Rooms & Studios (or similar)
Meals: Breakfast
Another day, another Greek Island delight. Hold tight - today you have the chance to sail around Paros and some of the stunning islands around it - for a full day of sunbathing, swimming, relaxing, soaking-up-the-sunshining. Later tonight, we'll tuck into an included dinner at a local restaurant, before heading out to sample the local nightlife.
Accommodation: Siroco's Rooms & Studios (or similar)
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Paros, it's been magical – but today we're taking to the seas again, this time in search of Greece's most insta-famous island: Santorini. Santorini, we have arrived! Tonight you'll have the chance to join us on a cruise and take in the iconic Fira.
Accommodation: Iliada - Odysseas Resort (or similar)
Meals: Breakfast
Rise and shine, Greek Island travellers! The island of Santorini won't explore itself. Today is your day to take a swim at Perissa Beach, eat the local specialty of fried tomato balls known as domatokeftedes, or roam and explore. You can even opt to take a visit to incredible Oia followed by a visit to the black sand beach of Santorini, or sign up to attend a Greek wedding (some plates will be sacrificed...).
Accommodation: Iliada - Odysseas Resort (or similar)
Meals: Breakfast
And with that, the trip comes to an end. From Santorini, you’re free to make your way home… or keep going. Who’s for Cyprus? Or Turkey? The whole Aegean lies at your feet (literally) and you have a boatload of new buds to go exploring with!

The Greek Island Hopping Contiki was probably one of the best things I've ever done for myself. This was my first solo trip and Caroline couldn't have been more warm and welcoming. Her efforts to book dinners with beautiful views and trips to amazing beaches made it even more special.

I loved how this Contiki was more chill and at your own pace compared to other Contikis I've now been on. Felt a lot more like a holiday
