Embark on a Greek island hopping adventure, bouncing between Greece’s major islands, where the nightlife’s as wondrous as the architecture. You’ll immerse yourself in Greece’s wonderful sea, sun, and sumptuous culture. Villages, volcanoes, tzatziki for days and enough pretty coves to put glowing hearts in your eyes. By day you’ll have ample time for exploring, and by night you’ll sleep like a baby in accommodation that’s specially selected for its cosiness. Speedboat safaris and Star Wars sunsets, anyone?

FAQs
- Athens: What kind of seat will I have on the ferry? 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: Will the ferries have Wi-Fi? 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: Do all of the hotels have pools? 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: Can I know what time the ferry will depart & arrive? 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: What does a modular trip mean? 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.

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 10 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. Those who feel like exploring can sign up for an optional trip to a traditional village where you'll visit a local family-run bakery and shop the local handicrafts.
Accommodation: Siroco's Rooms & Studios (or similar)
Meals: Breakfast
Another day, another Greek Island delight. Hold tight - today you have the chance to visit 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.
Accommodation: Iliada - Odysseas Resort (or similar)
Meals: Breakfast
A bit more rugged and remote than Santorini and Mykonos, Ios will prove a nice change of scenery for our final Island night. And thankfully, there will be no change in the good vibes or the time spent ocean side. We'll enjoy another free evening on the cards afterwards.
Accommodation: Far Out Beach Resort (or similar)
Meals: Breakfast
Our final Island day, and your last chance to soak up the Greek sun and frolic in the sand without a care in the world. Now is your chance to get some adrenaline in with a speedboat safari, or take a leisurely stroll around the pretty village of Ios Chora and enjoy some stuffed zucchini flowers or baked feta drizzled with olive oil at a local cafe. After an included dinner, it's a free evening tonight, so you're going to need the fuel after spending the day boating, swimming and sunbaking!
Accommodation: Far Out Beach Resort (or similar)
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
While choking back the tears and waving a sad goodbye to the dreamy islands of Greece, try to think positive thoughts: we have a boat ride to enjoy this morning, as well as one more night together in the city of Athens. Ready for one more dose of Athens and one last chance to hang out together? We'll soak up the last rays of the Mediterranean sun this afternoon before an optional farewell dinner together.
Accommodation: Dorian Inn (or similar)
Meals: Breakfast
And just like that, it's the final day of our Greek islands trip. This morning, you have the option to check out the ruins of the Acropolis, and then it’s sadly time to say those goodbyes. As sad as they are, at least you have the memories. (and another 200 Contiki trips to jump aboard!). Make the most of your last free breakfast before you kick on to your next port of call.

If there is one Contiki you're thinking of doing, I would definitely recommend the Greek Island Hopping Plus Contiki - I had so much fun! Two nights on each island allowed for the perfect balance of relaxing, exploring and partying. Our trip manager was super helpful in giving recommendations for things to see and do as well as food and restaurants to try.

This trip was so much fun! We had such a good group made up of all Aussies and Kiwis. We were also lucky to have an awesome trip manager in *Personal information removed by Feefo* who was super friendly, always bringing the good vibes and helpful with tips and advice as well. All the accomodation was great I was pleasantly surprised that it even included a few beach clubs, as well as a private villa. Most breakfasts provided were good, would have been nice to have more included dinners though. The free time add ons were fun, once again would have been nice if more was included in the up front price. All 4 islands were stunning and I loved them in their own way. Ferry transport was a great way to travel. Good amount of free time in the day and then going out at nighttime to party!
