Your Itinerary
May 18, 2023 Start Athens
Hello island lovers! Welcome to Greece, and welcome to the best holiday of your life. It's a big call to make on day 1, but we're making it! Take a minute to unpack in settle in to our hotel before we meet up this evening. First your Trip Manager will give you the rundown of what to expect over the next 10 days, then you'll have free time to explore the local area and find yourself some dinner. Stay: Hotel Evripides (or similar) Meal(s): Dinner May 19, 2023 Athens to Mykonos
Athens With no time to waste, we'll start our island hopping adventures today with our first destination: Mykonos. Mykonos Let's do this! Two nights on the island of Mykonos, how did we get so lucky? Even the boat ride across the Aegean will have you awe struck and in love. Tonight, you'll have the option to join an exploration of Mykonos by night on a locally guided walking tour of the town's cobbled streets. Stay: Paradise Beach (or similar) Meal(s): Breakfast
May 20, 2023 Mykonos
Windmills; cafes overflowing with olives, feta and tzatziki; storybook streets - and that's before you've even taken a dip in the ocean! The day is yours to soak up the sunshine and play in the sea. Stay: Paradise Beach (or similar) Meal(s): Breakfast May 21, 2023 Mykonos to Paros
Mykonos This morning we're on to our next Greek island, Paros. Let's spare a thought for all those travelers who only get to visit just one Greek Island, and then remember how lucky we are. Paros Beaches, naturally sculpted swimming coves, a Byzantine church and traditional villages: we must be in Paros. Here you're free to get into the sun and sea vibes. Stay: Siroco's Rooms & Studios (or similar) Meal(s): Breakfast
May 22, 2023 Paros
Another day, another opportunity for Greek Island adventures. Those who feel like exploring can sign up for an optional trip to an Organic Farm run where you'll sample their delicious produce and then head to one of the prettiest villages in the Cyclades - Naoussa. You'll be back in time to join forces with the rest of your crew for an included dinner together this evening. Stay: Siroco's Rooms & Studios (or similar) Meal(s): Breakfast May 23, 2023 Paros to Santorini
Paros Paros, it's been magical – but today we're taking to the seas again, this time in search of Greece's most insta-famous island: Santorini. Santorini Santorini, we have arrived! Tonight you'll have the chance to explore this magical Island and roam the cobbled streets. Stay: Kalipso Villas (or similar) Meal(s): Breakfast, Dinner May 24, 2023 Santorini
Rise and shine, Greek Island travelers! The island of Santorini will not explore itself. Take a swim at Perissa Beach, eat the local specialty of fried tomato balls known as domatokeftedes, and roam the streets of Fira. Stay: Kalipso Villas (or similar) Meal(s): Breakfast
May 25, 2023 Santorini to Ios
Santorini We're in danger of being spoilt by Santorini now, so it's lucky we have one last Greek Island to hop to before that happens. Ios A bit more rugged and remote than Santorini and Mykonos, Ios will prove a nice change of scenery for our final Island night. And thankfully, there will be no change in the good vibes or the time spent ocean side. We'll join together for an included dinner tonight, with another free evening on the cards afterwards. Stay: Far out Hotel (or similar) Meal(s): Breakfast, Dinner May 26, 2023 Ios
Our final Island day, and your last chance to soak up the Greek sun and frolic in the sand without a care in the world. Now is your chance to get some adrenaline in with a speedboat safari, or take a leisurely stroll around the pretty village of Ios Chora and enjoy some stuffed zucchini flowers or baked feta drizzled with olive oil at a local cafe. It's a free evening tonight, so you're going to need the fuel if you want to hit the party scene of Hora until the break of dawn. Stay: Far out Hotel (or similar) Meal(s): Breakfast
May 27, 2023 Ios to Athens
Ios While choking back the tears and waving a sad goodbye to the dreamy islands of Greece, try to think positive thoughts: we have a boat ride to enjoy this morning, as well as one more night together in the city of Athens. Athens Ready for one more dose of Athens and one last chance to hang out together? We'll soak up the last rays of the Mediterranean sun this afternoon before an optional farewell dinner together. Stay: Hotel Evripides (or similar) Meal(s): Breakfast
May 28, 2023 End Athens
And just like that, it's time for the goodbyes. As sad as they are, at least you have the memories. And another 300 Contiki trips to jump aboard! Make the most of your last free breakfast before you kick on to your next port of call. Meal(s): Breakfast |
