We had a fantastic time and enjoyed having access to some of the smaller, less travelled islands. We had experiences we wouldn't have had on a self-guided trip and the opportunity to meet other travellers (I actually added a week of travel in another country with a friend I met on the boat!). This was a cool way to experience Greece and I am excited to try other G Adventures tours in the future!
Embark on a tour through the Aegean Sea, taking local ferries around the Cyclades Islands. Indulge in a little island hopping and take the time to uncover remote ruins, gorgeous beaches and outstanding scenery. Travel from the ancient capital of Athens all the way to the spectacular natural wonders on the island of Santorini on this wonderful Greek adventure.
Over the holiday from pickup at Athens airport, through all the accommodation and boats and transfers everything was smooth: transfers to and from the various island ports were hassle free - drivers were all on time, were waiting where they said they would be and were courteous and efficient; each hotel was expecting me and I was pleased with the quality of the accommodation
Begin your 8-day trip in the picturesque island of Mykonos, stroll through the white washed streets before you party all night. Next up, we depart for Santorini to experience the most beautiful sunset in the world and then continue to Ios to discover the golden beaches and endless fun. Your accommodation, breakfast and ferries are all arranged for you so you can completely relax and unwind.
A very busy itinerary in which we saw and walked some of the Greek islands, however at any point there were options to arrange to do your ‘own thing’. As a guide overall we walked 125km throughout the whole holiday.
The guide tells you so much which makes the trips so much more interesting and enjoyable. Some of the optional trips are chargeable.
The hotels were varied but all were clean. The breakfasts were adequate and were the same in most hotels. With such a busy schedule you need a good sleep but we did find the mattresses were too firm for us, waking with a few aches and pains!
Start your 9 day, once in a lifetime experience in Athens, a world capital of cultural and historical heritage before you hit the water to relax and unwind on some of Greece’s most beautiful islands. Party till dawn in Mykonos, get lost in the maze of streets; watch the world’s most beautiful sunset in Santorini after a long day of swimming and end your tour in breathtaking Ios.
Begin your Greek adventure in Athens, exploring ancient wonders like the Acropolis and Parthenon before heading independently to the sun-drenched Cyclades. Over eight days, travel from Athens to Santorini, with free time on the charming island of Paros along the way. Wander the whitewashed villages of Naoussa, relax on golden beaches, and cruise between islands by ferry. In Santorini, soak up unforgettable sunsets in Oia, stroll scenic clifftop paths, and discover ancient Akrotiri at leisure.
Pseudo (only sailed a bit because the main mast was broken) sailing the Aegian islands was a wonderful way to visit the area and meet new people. My overall experience other than a few things regarding cleanliness and upkeep of the vessel (sails, stains, smells) was excellent and I am left with many wonderful memories.
This trip is a great way to see the Greek islands in a group environment. Our group was nice and small which allowed us to have some great experiences that might not be possible in larger groups. There are some great included activities but also ample free time to see other experiences
I referred to this tour company for a last minute service and Anthony was unbelievable helpful and informative. He attended to my needs in a very timely manner and was very professional the entire time. overall a 10/10 experience. Someone give Anthony a raise!
We got so much more out of it than what we expected for such good value. Matt is a very intelligent, helpful, professional and diplomatic tour leader and we wish him well for any of his future plans. The coach driver Babios was superb as was the coach.
It was the most amazing experience of my life, to date! I love that everything was pretty much planned for me. I didn't have to worry about details. We were given a few options on activities, which was perfect. I would highly recommend anyone doing a trip with G and I can't wait for another one myself.
