Itinerary

3 Nights – Santorini

3 Nights – Naxos
4 Nights – Mykonos

✈ UK – Santorini (3 Nights): You’ll start your trip on the distinctive island of Santorini which you’ll get to by ferry or flight. Famous for its traditional white-washed villages that cling to the high clifftops, the volcanic island with its stunning sunsets, has a unique and very romantic feel to it. With three days here you will have the perfect amount of time to enjoy the busy waterfront villages, the volcanic terrain and beaches.

Whilst on the island take a boat tour out to the volcano and enjoy a wonderful hot spring swim. Explore the cliff-top towns with their dramatic views and at the end of the day catch the best view of the renowned sunsets from a cliff top taverna in Oia.

The island also produces wonderful wines so you could visit to one of the family–run wineries, or simply soak up the sunshine on one of the excellent beaches at Kamari and Perissa with their striking dark volcanic sand.

⛴Santorini – Ios (4 Nights): Sailing onto Ios, you’ll find a beautiful island home to some of the most stunning beaches in the Aegean. There are winding footpaths leading to traditional hilltop villages, ruins of the Venetian Castle and the Archaeological Museum to explore, that’s if you can tear yourself away from the fantastic beaches!

The main town of Chora has been synonymous with partying since the 1970’s so, if you’re looking for a vibrant night out head to nearby Mylopotas Beach where there are plenty of dining options with stunning views of the bay. For those wanting something a little more chilled, the southern side of the island and Manganari Beach is idyllic, as is the friendly little port of Gialos home to traditional tavernas and a few small shops.

⛴ Ios – Naxos (3 Nights): After four nights staying on Ios, you’ll sail to the nearby island of Naxos. Although renowned for its long sandy beaches, it is perhaps the countryside that makes it so unique. The atmospheric mountain villages, hidden monuments and ruined monasteries are waiting to be explored and the many walking trails around the island mean you can enjoy it all at your own pace.

The impossible to miss, huge marble gateway of the Temple of Apollo greets you as you arrive on the island and the main town’s medieval Boúrgos and Kástro districts are filled with archaeological gems.

With three nights on the island you’ll be able to enjoy the main towns’ waterfront, its’ restaurants and shops as well as the wonderful long beaches. On the western side of the island you’ll find sheltered beaches with soft sand and turquoise waters.

⛴ Naxos – Mykonos (4 Nights): Your final four nights will be spent on the glamourous island of Mykonos, known as one of the most stylish and cosmopolitan islands in Greece. The south of the island has popular golden beaches sheltered from the wind whereas, the north is much quieter and with the reliable breeze, ideal for water sports lovers.

Mykonos Town is home to the iconic picturesque windmills as well as a labyrinth of streets and a colourful harbour. Along with designer boutiques to peruse, the island is known for its lively night scene including chic bars and excellent restaurants to while away the hours.

✈ Mykonos – UK: When your stay in Mykonos comes to an end, it’s unfortunately time to return home. So we’ll take you to Mykonos airport for your direct flight back to the UK.
