I loved the mix of ancient and modern history. My favourite part of the trip was around Delphi, Meteora and Athens, but if you’re also looking for some sunshine, beaches and beautiful scenery, the islands are a perfect way to finish up the trip.

Such an amazing experience. Going to 4 different islands each with their own personalities. You get classic Greek culture in Mykonos and Santorini, relaxing beach days in Paros, and epic parties in Mykonos and Ios. Everything you could ask for in a vacation all wrapped up in one trip. Would definitely recommend to everyone.

My Contiki “highlights of Greece with Island hopping” was absolutely incredible! From the trip managers to my fellow travellers to all the activities we did! The vibe was absolutely there!! One of my all time favourite things was definitely the speedboat safari in Ios and the sailboat adventure in Paros! I would highly recommend it to anyone travelling to Greece!!

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.

Absolutely loved the trip. Guide was amazing, the places we visited and activities were great, the food could have been a bit better (more than one option for the included meals) but more than enough food so you never go hungry!
Special love for the Bee Experience and getting suited up and being with the bees 🐝
