Greek Island Hopping

made the trip so amazing, truely the best time of my life and I would want to do another contiki with her specifically! She was super organised and professional, while also being such a sweet lovely human and making our trip extra special. I really can’t say enough good things about my trip, it was everything i hoped and more.

This trip ticks all the boxes you would like in a holiday; relaxation, partying, great food, cultural experiences and sightseeing. The time spent on each island was perfect and the amount of free time was also great. The accommodation was great and was in great locations. Loved the fact that contiki ensured we got to cover most of the island at each stop. The add ons are also well worth it especially the speedboat in IOS. The trip manager was fantastic and really ensured we all had a great time. Would highly recommend this trip to everyone!!

The trip was fantastic! It was made special by a good group and an excellent host - ! She provided so much good context, and really took care of our groups needs.

Beautiful trip, great itinerary, lots of fun!

If you’ve ever dreamed of living your best Mamma Mia fantasy—dancing on white rooftops, diving into crystal-clear waters, and singing ABBA at sunset—this is the trip for you. Contiki's Greek Island Hopping tour absolutely delivered, and I cannot recommend it enough! From start to finish, everything was smooth and stress-free. Booking was super easy, and once we arrived, it was like hitting “vacation mode” immediately. HUGE shoutout to our amazing guide v, who kept the vibes high and made sure everything ran like clockwork. She was the absolute heart of the trip—organized, hilarious, and always down for a good time! The ferry travel between islands was a breeze with Contiki handling all the logistics (seriously, I didn’t have to think once about tickets or where to go—bliss). And let me tell you: the add-on activities were the cherry on top! From beach parties to exploring ancient ruins, there was always something unforgettable to do—and every single one was worth it. If you're thinking about booking this trip: DO IT. Pack your linen fits, bring your dancing shoes, and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime. Opa! 🥂🌊✨

It was fantastic in the sense that everything is planned for you and booked in advance and all you need to do is rock up. I thought for the amount of money for the tour itself, I had to pay so much for the extra activities and I did not like that. For the price I would expect some activities in included and more dinners or just something. As for the hotels, I did not like any of them. I thought they were all dirty and just uncomfortable to be in and sleep in. From some of the towels being dirty, to having to make my bed to the bathroom smelling and the taps and that being grimy. I might as well save my money and do hostels. I did a Topdeck tour and some hostels were better than those hotels. Also the hotels were not close proximity to the town centre and I thought that was really sad. Considering we are only there for one full day I would’ve liked to have been close to the town so I can just pop in and explore. Unfortunately, I will not be recommending this trip to my friends and tell them to save their money and do another tour or do it themselves. The only good thing about this trip was my leader Ellen who was just so hilarious, full of energy and could see loved her job!

Had such an amazing time had the best tour guide and meet some awesome people

Greek islands was a good trip for relaxing during the day and still partying and having fun.

Whole trip was a movie! Hectic partying and vibing with great people. Best trip manager too, she is a rockstar! An extra day on each island would have been better I reckon. Other then that trip was a 10/10

Great trip. Only thing is it’s sold as 11 day. Really only 9 as you start late on the first day and finish first thing on the last day. Bit **** tbh. And a manipulation of what’s sold. Apart from that. Would recommend. A lot of fun

We met our amazing tour guide and loved how even in our free time, we were provided with lots of links and pins to do different activities. Got to see great night life and spots I wouldn’t have known to go to. The boat days were just AMAZING

My tour manager made my trip so good and I couldn’t have imagined it being near as good or enjoyable without her. She was so good

If there is one Contiki you're thinking of doing, I would definitely recommend the Greek Island Hopping Plus Contiki - I had so much fun! Two nights on each island allowed for the perfect balance of relaxing, exploring and partying. Our trip manager was super helpful in giving recommendations for things to see and do as well as food and restaurants to try.

Was able to make friends and explore the Greek islands with no worries. Great memories and friendships made

Tour manager was excellent, very nice and very helpful. We had to spend an extra day in Mykonos because all ferries were cancelled due to high winds. She got us to stay an extra night at the same hotel and came up with a plan for us for our unexpected extra day. The trip was relaxing and fun - free time add ons were great. Do the speedboat safari! I loved all the food too! Only issue was the hotel in Athens. It didn’t seem clean and it smelled bad.

I lovedddd it! Loved how I didn’t have to plan anything, it was all done for me! The trip manager was amazing too! Wish some of the activities weren’t cancelled due to the wind but I still had the time of my life and recommend this contiki for sure!!

This tour was well organised and went to all the best islands! The included activities and optional activities were all great! The beach club in Santorini was so relaxing! Our tour guide was great and went above and beyond! He made the trip what it was! All of the accomodation was great and the included meals were good too!

I went for my honeymoon, the trip was really good, we were able to do a lot in the time we had, our host made us feel extremely special on our time. Was a good mix of adventure and party

It was my first ever contiki trip it was so amazing from the actives to our trip manager and the people on the contiki it was definitely 10/10 experience can’t wait to book the next one

I had the time of my life on this trip. The tour manager was the best and deserves a raise! I recommend this trip to anyone who wants to indulge in the food, drinks, sights and party culture of Greece. Each and every day I was blown away by this country, do yourself a favor and book this trip NOW!

Drinking

Really fun, the accomodation was good for the most part except we stayed at a hotel that was in a really dangerous area with reviews of bed bugs, robberies inside the hotel, etc. We also had blood on our sheets. Ellen our trip manager made the trip what it was and she is clearly amazing at what she does. The trip itself was fun, the free time add ons are very overpriced especially considering how much money you pay for the trip but you’re kind of forced to do them because there’s nothing else to do except walk around. The customer service is appalling and makes me not want to book with contiki again.

Best trip ever with the most amazing people

My first contiki and honestly so much fun! You see and do so much. Definitely sign up for ALL the free time add ons to make the most out of your trip. The sailing in Paros was amazing! I met so many wholesome people and my contiki gang will always have a special place in my heart. Our trip manager was the perfect blend of professional and down to have a good time. The Greeks love to party so would 100% recommend this trip if you like to swim, eat, see pretty places, drink and dance! I also felt super safe and comfortable :)

Absolutely loved it!!! This contiki trip was the perfect balance between add on activities and free time. You never felt rushed and actually had the time to enjoy your holiday. Both boat activities (Paros and Ios) were the highlight of my holiday. My trip manager was really approachable and fun she would often give us tips about the best places to go and visit during our first day on the island which helped us to explore more things.

Best trip of my life out tour guide was the best would definitely recommend

I had the best time! We got really lucky getting as our tour guide. I don’t think the trip would have run as smoothly without her. Everything was planned perfectly and she went out of her way to answer any and all questions and helping organise external activities in our down time as well. The group itself was one of the best I’ve ever toured with and we all got along so well. Greece itself was as beautiful and freedom filling as I thought it would be but it was all made better for the people I was with. The hotels were a giant bonus and all the extra activities we did were well worth it. Couldn’t recommend anything higher :)

It was amazing

It was amazing. Such a beautiful and fun trip. Tons of activities to do. Amazing people, amazing food.

We saw so many amazing citys. Our trip manager knew all the best food and drink spots and was so knowledgeable and gave us so many amazing local spots! And we all by the end of the trip were a huge family!

Contiki was the best way to travel the Greek island! To add are groupe and trip manager where juste the best! I was in the plus version and it was absolutely worth it. I loved all my moment and meet some incredible people along the way <3

My trip was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. From the country we were in to the people we met, I have no notes. If given the opportunity I would do it all again.

Where to start… what a trip! I did the Greek Island Hopping trip and wow! Just wow! We went to 5 amazing different islands in Greece! Starting in Athens, then getting the ferry to Mykonos, Paros, Santorini and Ios. They were all beautiful places! We stayed in different styles of hotels - from modern, to classic Greece styled buildings, to more dated untouched places. I’ve reviewed all the hotels separately on trip advisor if you’re interested in knowing what they were like. We stayed at the Dorian Inn (Athens), New Paradise Beach Resort (Mykonos), Siroco’s Rooms (Paros), Iliada Odyseas Resort (Santorini) and finally Far Out Beach Club Resort & Camping (Ios). We explored each and every island and got to learn the Ancient Greek history behind each of them. It was also great to have someone book and navigate the ferry ports as they were very hectic and confusing. Our tour guide was lovely! Such a beautiful person inside and out! She was very chatty and kind, always smiling and ready to help if you needed anything. We did come across the other Contiki group and their tour guide seemed equally as kind and friendly! Overall I had such an amazing time. Personally, my only issue was pricing - this trip is aimed between 18-35 year olds - and as a 18 year old working full time in both travel and hairdressing I found I couldn’t take part in all the FTA’s as they were priced quite high. Some of them I would have said the price was very reasonable - however there were some I would have said were a bit expensive for what they were. As a group and after speaking with another Contiki group we had a few minor issues. We felt that there wasn’t enough free time and we felt that we missed out on local experiences in exchange to do the FTA’s - it felt as though you had to pick between one or the other. We also felt as if we were a little over booked for the short amount of time we had, for example being out till 2am and having to be awake by 6am to get the ferry the next morning. We also realised that the trip was advertised as 11 days when it’s only really 9 days! We also found out that It’s not a requirement for the tour guides to have first aid which was a slight concern as if anything was to happen they wouldn’t have been able to help. But apart from the minor issues we still had a really fun time! Overall, it was such a great experience! I personally feel that tours aren’t necessary my thing but it was a great opportunity, and I really enjoyed getting to know lots of different people from lots of different places around the world. I would highly recommend Contiki!

I had the most fantastic time island hopping through Greece. The views were absolutely beautiful, but a lot of it was due to our fantastic trip manager, *Personal details removed by Feefo*, who made sure that we were having a fantastic time all the time no matter what we were doing no matter where we went. He went above and beyond and made sure that even during our free time when he didn’t need to that, we were having reservations at dinner or going out somewhere fun and having drinks and he just did a really absolutely fantastic job. And although my group was smaller than the average and made it so it was really intimate and that we were able to connect with the other travellers on the group, and I made some lifelong friends. And of course Greece is absolutely and incredible country and has some many amazing things to see.
