Athens
2Tick 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.

Athens – Mykonos (Cyclades)
3We’re not going to lie, this morning’s an early one – but it’s going to be oh-so-worth it! If Athens invented democracy, Mykonos pioneered the beach party that followed. 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.

Mykonos
4Sore head this morning? DW we’ve got the cure – a free day lazing on Mykonos’ soft sandy beaches. If you’re up for it, why not sail over to Delos and Rhenia islands to check out the birthplace of the sun god Apollo. Or lace up those Nikes for an included hike around Paradise Beach. It’s 100% up to you. Looking for some local inspo? Your Trip Leader’s more clued-up than the Cluedo World Champion ‘96. Make the most of it!

7Jump back on the ferry: the blue-domed cliffside houses of your Insta feed await in Santorini – #nofilter necessary.

Lucky for you, we’re no rookies when it comes to picking the best spot. So settle in, this is going to be one to remember. Finally: it's time for another included dinner with the gang.

We had Maria as our tour guide and she was so well organised and a lovely person! There was a good amount of sight seeing and free time to relax on the beach or by the pool. The accommodation on Mykonos and Santorini was really nice and Athens and Paros were ok. Maria had so many good recommendations on where to go and what to do in our free time. Our first ferry ride to Mykonos was rough (our ferry the day before was cancelled due to bad weather) but the other 3 were very smooth and comfortable. This trip was the perfect chance to experience the islands and the Greek food and culture!

It was perfectly spread out with the party days and the rest/relaxations days. One of the reasons I chose the Greek islands was because of the partying BUT also the islands to relax and I was worried we wouldn't have enough time for everything but it was perfectly balanced. The group size was amazing as we got closer to one another faster and I've made some life long friends from this trip!!
