With no time to waste, we'll start our Greek island hopping adventures today with our first destination: Mykonos.

Breakfast included
Mykonos
Day 3
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. 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.
Breakfast included
Optional experiences: Explore Mykonos by Night
Join a local guide and stroll through the narrow alleyways and paths of Mykonos. Head to the famous windmills and even Little Venice (perfect for all your photo ops). But that's not all - we'll even taste the famous Greek souvlaki before ending the night!
Price: 60.00 EUR
Mykonos to Paros
Day 4
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 local winery, and then on to a local village and finish off the day wandering the fishing village of Naoussa.
Breakfast included
Optional Experience: Paros like a Local Experience
Today we’re keeping it properly local with a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience — the Paros trifecta of wine, village life, and a fishing town that knows how to charm. We start at a family-run organic vineyard for a tasting of their award-winning wines, then wander the quiet lanes of Lekes for a real slice of island living. To round it off, we'll hit up the postcard-pretty and seriously photo-worthy Naoussa.
Price: 64.00 EUR
Paros
Day 5
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. Tonight, you'll have free time to explore the local area and find yourself some dinner, before heading out to sample the local nightlife.

Day 6
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 a home-cooked included dinner and then an included transfer to Fira to explore Santorini's capital and roam the cobbled streets.
Breakfast & Dinner included
Santorini
Day 7
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...).
Breakfast included
Optional experience: Explore Santorini beaches
Start your day marvelling at the blue-domed churches of Oia (with stunning views of the Aegean Sea, of course!). Then, we'll head from one insta-worthy spot to another - to the black sand beach of Santorini. Feel the velvety black sand beneath your feet, contrasting the crystalline azure waters. This is heaven on Earth!
Price: 45.00 EUR
Optional experience: Attend a Big Fat Greek Wedding
Wanna know what a Greek wedding is like? Here's your chance. Attend a Greek wedding show for dinner and a lil' bit of dancing. Oh, and some plate-smashing drama too (all planned, promise).
Price: 80.00 EUR
Santorini to Ios
Day 8
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 join together for an included dinner tonight, with another free evening on the cards aterwards.
Breakfast & Dinner included
Ios
Day 9
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 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 Ios until the break of dawn.
Breakfast included
Optional experience: Speedboard safari in Ios
Grab your swimsuit and join a speedboat safari around the beautiful coast of Ios. Explore underwater caves. Snorkel around a shipwreck. Visit picture-perfect hidden beaches. And of course, you'll also stop by for some fun beach games and a yummy snack.
Price: 50.00 EUR
Ios to Athens
Day 10
While choking back the tears and waving a sad goodbye to the dreamy islands of Greece, try to think positive thoughts: we have the final ferry 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 aternoon before an optional farewell dinner together.
Breakfast included
Optional experience: Goodbye dinner at Psiri
Wander through the streets of Psiri (known for its restaurants and live music scene). Here, we'll feast inside a delicious local Greek Taverna, and taste authentic Mediterranean cuisine. No beter way to end this gorgeous Greek adventure!
Price: 40.00 EUR
Athens
Departure day
And just like that, it's the final day of our Greek islands trip. As sad as they are, at least you have the memories. And another 300 Contiki trips to jump aboard! Make the most of your last free breakfast before you kick on to your next port of call and for those of you that have the time, there's an optional city tour and Acropolis visit.
Breakfast included
Optional experience: Hike the Acropolis Hill and marvel in Athens' Attractions
You'll join an organised excursion on a shared coach (who can say no to making more friends?) to visit the Panathenaic stadium. This is where the very first modern Olympics were held back in 1896! Then, we'll see the temple of Zeus and the Old Palace of King Otto (now the Greek Parliament house!). Aterwards, we'll admire the wonders of history as our local guide shows us around the Acropolis.
Price: 75.00 EUR
