Day 1: Athens

Athens 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!

First your Trip Manager will give you the rundown of what to expect over the next 10 days, then you'll have free time to explore the local area and find yourself some dinner. Stay: Hotel Evripides (or similar)

Day 2: Athens to Mykonos

Athens With no time to waste, we'll start our island hopping adventures today with our first destination: Mykonos. Mykonos Let's do this! Two nights on the island of Mykonos, how did we get so lucky?

Stay: Paradise Beach (or similar) Included Meals: Breakfast INCLUDED EXPERIENCES Private Transport from Port to Hotel (and back again) Ferry Ride from Athens to Mykonos Mykonos Town Return Transfer ADDITIONAL COST APPLIES

Day 3: Mykonos to Paros

Mykonos 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. Stay: Paradise Beach (or similar) Included Meals: Breakfast

Day 4: Mykonos

Mykonos 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. Paros 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 an Organic Farm run where you'll sample their delicious produce and then head to one of the prettiest villages in the Cyclades - Naoussa.

Stay: Kalipso Villas (or similar) Included Meals: Breakfast INCLUDED EXPERIENCES Ferry Ride from Paros to Santorini Transfer from Hotel to Fira

Day 7: Santorini

Santorini Rise and shine, Greek Island travellers! The island of Santorini won't explore itself.

Stay: Kalipso Villas (or similar) Included Meals: Breakfast, Dinner INCLUDED EXPERIENCES Oia Visit Plus Volcano Cruise ADDITIONAL COST APPLIES

Day 8: Santorini to Ios

Santorini 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. Ios We'll join together for an included dinner tonight, with another free evening on the cards afterwards. Stay: Far Out Beach Resort (or similar) Included Meals: Breakfast, Dinner INCLUDED EXPERIENCES Ferry Ride from Santorini to Ios

Day 9: Ios

Ios 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. It's a free evening tonight, so you're going to need the fuel if you want to hit the party scene of Hora until the break of dawn. Stay: Far Out Beach Resort (or similar) Included Meals: Breakfast INCLUDED EXPERIENCES Speedboat Safari ADDITIONAL COST APPLIES

Day 10: Ios to Athens

Ios 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.
