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)

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
​Free Time Add-Ons: 
​
Hop on a speed boat & wander around the beautiful coastline of Ios. Explore unique underwater caves, go snorkelling on a reef, explore a shipwreck, & stop at a secluded beach for some fun beach games. EUR 40.00​
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.
