When we say ‘Greek Island hopper’, you say... Endless beaches? Ridiculously blue waters? Perpetual sunshine? Well, yeah, all those things are great. Obviously. But our Greek Islands trip covers all the givens... and more. MORE ancient wonders. MORE eye candy sunsets. MORE fisherman-chic goodness. MORE G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S. Plate smashing. Greek dancing. Schmoozing with the locals. And with us, you won’t just see it. You’ll do it. One ‘opa!’ at a time.
Trip itinerary
Day 1 - Athens (Greece)
Helloooo, Athens! Cue epic adventures, crystal-clear water and more gyros than your fat pants can handle. Think: 4am kebab – but better. Gather ‘round Spartans! Tonight we'll meet the gang and dine Greek style: brace yourself for a legendary included group dinner at your hotel.

Tick off your ancient must-dos today on a stroll with your local Trip Leader. See the likes of Monastiraki Square, the ruins of the library of Hadrian, Filopappou Hill (for spectacular views over Athens and the Acropolis) and Syntagma Square for the changing of the guards. Then: delve deeper into these archeological sites with an afternoon of free time – the mighty Acropolis is waiting. Ready to dial up your ancient history quota? Jump on an optional afternoon trip to Cape Sounion and Attica. Or spend your free time hunting down the best Greek donut shop in Athens. And this evening? It’s all yours. We rec finding local haunt for some seriously good saganaki – it’s cheese, it’s fried, it’s goddam delicious.

Day 3 - Athens – Mykonos (Cyclades)
We’re not going to lie, this morning’s an early one – but it’s going to be oh-so-worth it! Set sail from the birthplace of democracy to Mykonos, Greece’s unofficial beach party capital. As a group, we’ll hit up the windmills in Little Venice for THAT photo, check out the white-washed shop fronts of Old Town and make a mental note of all the beachfront cocktail bars to check out later. Then: the rest is up to you! Ever heard of Paradise Beach? It’s where Europe goes to party. ‘Nough said.

After breakfast, it’s time to say goodbye. Try not to get too emotional – you could be an ugly crier. Or why not keep the good times rolling in Athens with our post (or pre) tour activity option?

FYI you can also enjoy this activity before your trip begins, too.
