Hit up magical Mykonos, perky Paros and saucy Santorini in this sun-soaked 8-day Greek island extravaganza. Marvel at the natural and human-made architecture, from coves to cobblestones. Villages and volcanoes await, and you’ll have plenty of time to explore Greece’s most famous islands. The best part is? You can live the Contiki dream with a fellow group of 35 to 45s.
I had an amazing time. Both trip managers were wonderful, super helpful and lots of fun. I really enjoyed all the places we went and the activities. Going in May was definitely a good idea, the weather was warm but not too hot and the crowds were an okay size.
The Dodecanese trio of Rhodes, Symi and Tilos encompass everything that people love about the Greek islands: picturesque hikes, towns shaped through the centuries, and, of course, a deep love for food and wine. Guided by an expert tour leader, we explore it all on a well-balanced hiking adventure, taking gentle coastal and in-land trials and going deep into the local culture. There’s also time for a guided wine-tasting session, a barbecue on a traditional kaiki cruise, and plenty of moments to relax on the beach or choose your own adventure.

I thoroughly enjoyed this Greek Island tour! Our tour leader, Charlotte, was amazing. Not only was she knowledgeable, but also fun and very personable. My favorite part of the tour was the “walk” along the foothills in Naxos – though it should definitely be called a hike because of the hilly and rocky terrain. The coastal hike was another favorite. All the accommodations were clean and decent with lots of breakfast options. Our bathroom at the hotel in Santorini was extremely small, but the gorgeous beachfront location of the hotel more than made up for it. Overall, there was a wonderful mix of activities on this tour – something for everyone. I also loved how well everyone in our tour group got along. We were from several different countries and we were all able to connect and have fun together on this shared travel experience.
