Delve Deep: Greek Islands
Trip overview
TRIP VIBE = iconic sights and in-depth adventures with a local Trip Leader.
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.
Worth noting…
Depending on your departure date, your accommodation will either be a twin share or a multi-share – with a max of 4 people per room. Meaning? Social vibes that suit YOU. Keep your eyes peeled for departures with the multi-share option on the Dates & Prices page!

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! 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.

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, spend your day at a Greek cooking class. Drool-worthy dishes and REAL local history? Say less. 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!

The tour was well organised, including ample free time to do what we wanted. Our guide Athina was very fun and informative, she offered plenty of Greek insights, and she was always available for questions and guidance. She made the trip really awesome. She even helped us with a request for our ferry ride and that was very helpful. The hotels were in good condition, we used a lot of public...
