About this activity

Go island hopping in Greece on an unforgettable 5-day independent tour from Athens, taking in the islands of Syros, Mykonos and Santorini. In between ferry cruises from one island to the next, enjoy free time to soak up the islands’ seductive scenery: lazing on beaches, exploring whitewashed towns and basking under the blazing sun – sunglasses are a necessity in this part of Greece, not just a fashion statement. Enjoy 3- or 5-star hotel accommodation on the islands, with overnight stays in Syros and Mykonos, followed by two nights in romantic Santorini.

We have recently enjoyed this tour...

We have recently enjoyed this tour and on the whole, it met or exceded our expectations. The one point that fell below our expectations was the choice of hotel on Mykonos. Syros was a very beautiful island and we enjoyed exploring the old town on foot. It is quite easy to get around for anyone with average fitness, my travel companion is 69 and did not have any difficulty. There are many steps on the side streets, so this may be an issue for some. We enjoyed beers and snacks at the road side cafes and restaurants which overlook the marina. The Diogenis Hotel is ideally situated dirrectly opposite the ferry landing. The hotel is clean and staff are friendly and helpful. The Terra Maltese Nature Retreat is a beautiful rambling cluster of bungalows built in a traditional Greek manner.the pool was a welcome reprieve from the summer heat. The location would be ideal if we had stayed longer than one night. Unfortunately we did not have time to arrange a hotel transfer, so resorted to a public bus which let us out at the top of the road to the hotel.we walked for 10 minutes to the hotel, where we stayed until we departed the next morning for the ferry. TIP ensure to contact hotel for a hotel shuttle. Also consider a car rental for your stay, as without access to transport you are fairly isolated. We consider that a property closer to one of the towns on the island would have made our stay more enjoyable. the Drossos Perrissa Beach Hotel was located on the back of Santorini island, far from the famed whitewashed walls and blue domed churches. This suited us very well. Within easy walking distance from the hotel are all the amenities you require, a serviced laundry, supermarkets, a range of bars and restaurants, as well as car and scooter hire. Also within a gentle stroll is the black sand beach of Perrissa with its sellection of bars snd restaurants. The management and staff at the Drossos looked after us exceedingly well and were very friendly. We stayed for two nights choosing to hire scooters for 24 hours, this gave us the opportunity to see all that we wanted to see in our our own time. TIP ensure that all windows are shut, inclding the bathroom, before switching on the air conditioning as sensors in the windows will not allow the air conditioning to operate while windows are open. The ferry services offered comfortable and efficient service. TIP for the 8 hour trip from Santorini to Pieaus we opted to upgrade to a cabin, we were able to sleep in comfortable beds and acces the business lounge and enjoy a refreshing shower to ensure that we arrived refreshed.

Syros was amazing, Mykonos was horrific, Santorini was excellent, the ferry ride can be a challenge so DON'T take a lot of luggage, overall the trip was good

Nice tour, but getting to our hotels was unnecessarily hectic.

We visited Syros, Mykonos and Santorini. Trying to get from the port to our hotel on Mykonos was a nightmare as there are a small number of buses and taxis, and a large number of tourists. We discovered on the island that hotels have shuttles that they can send to pick up passengers, but this wasn't included in our trip which meant trying to get to our hotel was unnecessarily stressful. I'd rather the cost of a shuttle was added so that we could've been stress free. Trying to get to our hotel cost us a lot of time which meant we didn't get to enjoy Mykonos as much as we would've liked, particularly given that this was our favourite island. Another night here would've been better. With the benefit of experience, we rang ahead on Santorini to book a shuttle from the sea port to the hotel, but the tour provider gave us the incorrect arrival time which meant we had to, yet again, organise our own transport, which is challenging when there are hundreds of people also trying to get to their hotels. I can't remember if there's an option to book this tour with 3- or 4- star hotels, but if there is an option, then I recommend 4-star. We had complimentary upgrades to 4-star hotels on two of the islands and they were briliant, whereas I didn't feel very comfortable at all in the 3-star hotel. This tour gave us two nights on Santorini, so we booked a day tour through Viator which was well worth doing because there would've been too much spare time, otherwise. Another option is to hire a quad bike and explore the island under your own steam, but an international drivers licence is required.

It was a nice trip, the hotels were ok, not so much the last one in Santorini where the breakfast was disgusting, the hotel was underran, and the service there was terrible. The ferries were ok, a lit too long on the way back but fine.
