Most travellers feel lucky to get a quick ferry stop at an island like Santorini. But small samples aren't the Greek Island Hopping style. With 3-nights in Mykonos, Ios, Santorini & Athens, you'll have plenty of time to explore charming fishing villages, shops, volcanoes & spotless beaches, getting deep beyond the ouzo and the olives and the ancient statues.

DAY 6:
Mykonos to Santorini
Mykonos
This morning, let's spare a thought for all those travellers who only have the time and money to visit just one Greek Island. Those poor unfortunate souls...
Santorini
Saddle up! We're taking to the seas again, this time in search of the island of Santorini. It's finally your turn to be the one lulling about the white-washed blue dome churches looking like a sultry summer babe. Home to the famous Oia sunset, this is the stuff dreams are made of. Ah, life.
DAY 7:
Santorini
Santorini
Rise and shine, Greek Island travellers! 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. Just remember to plan your day around the excursion to the iconic sunset of Oia - this is not an optional you're going to want to miss.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
Visit the main town of Fira
FREE TIME ADD-ONS
Sunset in Oia
EUR 28.00
Santorini Highlights & Volcano Cruise
EUR 50.00
Santorini
DAY 8:
Santorini
Santorini
The beautiful thing about having two full days on the one island is you have time to both relax and explore. Whatever you didn't do yesterday is still up for grabs today. If you feel like you've crammed it all in already, just head to the black or red sand beaches and spend another glorious day ocean-side. Ain't life grand?
Santorini
DAY 9:
Santorini to Ios
Santorini
Say your so longs to Santorini this morning. We have one last Greek Island to hop to, and we promise she's magnificent.
Ios
A bit more rugged and remote than Santorini and Mykonos, Ios will prove a nice change of scenery. But thankfully, there will be no change in the hours spent ocean side and good times had.
DAY 10:
Ios
Ios
Another day, another chance to soak up the Greek sun and frolic in the sand without a care in the world. Get some adrenalin in with some watersports, or if you haven't done so already, go explore the pretty town and down a hearty meal at a local cafe. You're going to need the fuel if you want to hang out in the party scene of Hora until the break of dawn.
FREE TIME ADD-ONS
Sailing Spectacular Ios
EUR 43.00
Ios
DAY 11:
Ios
Ios
Don’t underestimate the power of this village. When the sun sets, this place really comes to life. As such, we suggest a day out on the water getting salty on a boat trip, or a full day of pool hangs and beach time so you're all sun-kissed and feeling floaty by the time the night rolls in.
NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS
Visit Ios town
Ios
DAY 12:
Ios to Athens
Ios
While choking back the tears and waving miserably at 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
One last dose of Athens and one last chance to hang out together as the Greece loving squad that we are.
DAY 13:
Depart Athens
Athens
Hugs, tears, and a final batch of reminiscing; it's astounding how close a group can get in just two short weeks. Nothing says bonding quite like the good life. The Croatia Island Hopper is probably the only way to really ease the pain of this goodbye. #NOREGRETS
Athens

I absolutely loved Stasi our TM. He was amazing and really made the trip worthwhile. It was great to have a mixture of female and males, and a combination of age groups, however it would be great to be paired with more 25-26year olds (my age) than 18 year olds. Nonetheless we had a great group. The add-on activities were awesome. The accommodation at Far Out was great, however the beds were extremely uncomfortable and I had a sore back/neck the following days. Overall, I’d highly recommend this trip to friends/family of the same age.

It was an amazing experience travelling the Greek islands and everything was up to standard including the food. The only down side is the duration spent on each island was too short especially for incredible places like Mykonos and Santorini. It would be great if contiki has a fixed itenanary in the future.

The most amazing trip I've ever been on in my entire life. Greece is the most amazing country with the most amazing food, wine, people, and culture, and I'm so happy Contiki helped me experience it the way I wanted to. Each place we went to had a little of everything. Mykonos and Ios for partying/the best views, Santorini for wine/food/history, and Athens for history! I went with one of my friends, but there were several people who went solo. I've gone solo with another travel company before and honestly, if you're thinking about traveling alone, you need to do it with Contiki. My group and travel manager, Sophie, were so sweet. Not to mention, the trip was SO perfectly planned out (and well paced) where we got to do our own thing, see the island scenery, and also hang out with the rest of the group. I recommend on going on all of the excursions! We did all of them except for the trip to Delphi. We also thought the accommodations were very nice. Seriously, GO ON THIS TRIP!

Our Tour Guide Jazz was incredible! During bus rides to our day trips she would tell us greek mythology stories in 20th century language so we could all understand. And the stories (most of the time) would relate to the activities/places we were visiting that day. She was extremely caring and always willing to answer any questions, give recommendations or just make sure we were all having a great time. For our days off, she had photocopied maps and gave us info on how to get into town. She was always prepared! Jazz also made stayed with us when we went out on the town drinking and made sure we all got home safely - if needed. 11/10.
I loved the islands stops that were included in our trip to Greece. The day trips were all awesome too. I quite enjoyed the volcano and hot springs tour in Santorini, and the night out on the town in Mykonos.
Great experience with Contiki and Greece in general. Only thing that I would recommend - a lot of the clubs we went to in Mykonos/Ios were empty. Almost like they closed the bars down for us specifically - although they didn't. There was just no one there. Eventhough our trip was just before peak season starts, there were still a lot of locals and tourists in Greece/Greek islands (not as many as during peak) but still would've been nice to got to places a little more populated. I loved my Contiki family, everyone was really awesome. But it's also nice to meet locals and other tourists that aren't here with Contiki. Would've also liked a few more included meals. It's easier when things are included to not have to worry about rationing out money, or figuring out where to eat.
****PRO-TIP - If you are going to Greece, something to keep in mind - Majority of the clubs/bars/restaurants in Athens, Mykonos, Santorini and Ios DO NOT ACCEPT CREDIT CARD. I brought quite a bit of euro and a credit card with the intention of mainly using my credit card for everything. Well, when most places don't accept it, you will run out of euro quickly!! Especially if you plan on going out to bars most nights to drink and party. I did not want to use my Canadian debit card in Europe...What you can do if you run into this situation - if you go out for a non-included meal, they always bring one bill for the entire table at the end. Everyone just pays cash for their portion and we give all of the cash to the server for the entirety of the bill (if you are eating with a group of friends, which chances are you will most of the time). If you happen to go to a restaurant that does accept credit card - pay for the tables meal, and take the cash that they use to cover their portion. That way you can get cash without having to withdraw money from your debit card. Just my tip. I had to do this a couple of times.
Anyways, as soon as I got home I ordered brochures to start planning my next Contiki vacation! Can't wait!

I thought the choice of locations was very good. However, I thought there was too much focus on partying and not enough focus on learning the culture which is why many people travel. It seemed like the plans and accommodation were centered around giving people lots of opportunities to party. If this is the focus, then the tour should be advertised as such. For example, in Mykonos, we were situated at a party beach, with parties going on day and night. In Ios, there was no effort to help us travel to Maganara beach, which is one of the most popular beaches, but there was an organized plan to go partying and do the 7-shot challenge every single night! I'm pretty sure I wouldn't book a tour with Contiki again, and instead would go with something like Top Deck.

We did a month-worth of activities in only 13 days. Our days were action packed but there was plenty of time for relaxing, shopping, and dining in each place. We got to experience Greece from the locals perspective and see so many incredible sights. This truly was the best way to experience Greece and totally worth every cent!

Greek Island Hopping
It was an amazing experience travelling the Greek islands and everything was up to standard including the food. The only down side is the duration spent on each island was too short especially for incredible places like Mykonos and Santorini. It would be great if contiki has a fixed itenanary in the future.

Contiki is the best for your money!
The most amazing trip I've ever been on in my entire life. Greece is the most amazing country with the most amazing food, wine, people, and culture, and I'm so happy Contiki helped me experience it the way I wanted to. Each place we went to had a little of everything. Mykonos and Ios for partying/the best views, Santorini for wine/food/history, and Athens for history! I went with one of my friends, but there were several people who went solo. I've gone solo with another travel company before and honestly, if you're thinking about traveling alone, you need to do it with Contiki. My group and travel manager, Sophie, were so sweet. Not to mention, the trip was SO perfectly planned out (and well paced) where we got to do our own thing, see the island scenery, and also hang out with the rest of the group. I recommend on going on all of the excursions! We did all of them except for the trip to Delphi. We also thought the accommodations were very nice. Seriously, GO ON THIS TRIP!

What I hoped for and more! Fairly nice places we stayed at and good value for money as there is no stress jumping from island to island. Plenty of great me-time options too!

Meeeeee-KONOS!
Our Tour Guide Jazz was incredible! During bus rides to our day trips she would tell us greek mythology stories in 20th century language so we could all understand. And the stories (most of the time) would relate to the activities/places we were visiting that day. She was extremely caring and always willing to answer any questions, give recommendations or just make sure we were all having a great time. For our days off, she had photocopied maps and gave us info on how to get into town. She was always prepared! Jazz also made stayed with us when we went out on the town drinking and made sure we all got home safely - if needed. 11/10.
I loved the islands stops that were included in our trip to Greece. The day trips were all awesome too. I quite enjoyed the volcano and hot springs tour in Santorini, and the night out on the town in Mykonos.
Great experience with Contiki and Greece in general. Only thing that I would recommend - a lot of the clubs we went to in Mykonos/Ios were empty. Almost like they closed the bars down for us specifically - although they didn't. There was just no one there. Eventhough our trip was just before peak season starts, there were still a lot of locals and tourists in Greece/Greek islands (not as many as during peak) but still would've been nice to got to places a little more populated. I loved my Contiki family, everyone was really awesome. But it's also nice to meet locals and other tourists that aren't here with Contiki. Would've also liked a few more included meals. It's easier when things are included to not have to worry about rationing out money, or figuring out where to eat.
****PRO-TIP - If you are going to Greece, something to keep in mind - Majority of the clubs/bars/restaurants in Athens, Mykonos, Santorini and Ios DO NOT ACCEPT CREDIT CARD. I brought quite a bit of euro and a credit card with the intention of mainly using my credit card for everything. Well, when most places don't accept it, you will run out of euro quickly!! Especially if you plan on going out to bars most nights to drink and party. I did not want to use my Canadian debit card in Europe...What you can do if you run into this situation - if you go out for a non-included meal, they always bring one bill for the entire table at the end. Everyone just pays cash for their portion and we give all of the cash to the server for the entirety of the bill (if you are eating with a group of friends, which chances are you will most of the time). If you happen to go to a restaurant that does accept credit card - pay for the tables meal, and take the cash that they use to cover their portion. That way you can get cash without having to withdraw money from your debit card. Just my tip. I had to do this a couple of times.
Anyways, as soon as I got home I ordered brochures to start planning my next Contiki vacation! Can't wait!

Obviously it’s expensive and I Defo loved every minute and #noregrets but I just felt as though there wasn’t as much included in this contiki compared to the one I went on previous year.

I thought the choice of locations was very good. However, I thought there was too much focus on partying and not enough focus on learning the culture which is why many people travel. It seemed like the plans and accommodation were centered around giving people lots of opportunities to party. If this is the focus, then the tour should be advertised as such. For example, in Mykonos, we were situated at a party beach, with parties going on day and night. In Ios, there was no effort to help us travel to Maganara beach, which is one of the most popular beaches, but there was an organized plan to go partying and do the 7-shot challenge every single night! I'm pretty sure I wouldn't book a tour with Contiki again, and instead would go with something like Top Deck.

The trip of a lifetime!
We did a month-worth of activities in only 13 days. Our days were action packed but there was plenty of time for relaxing, shopping, and dining in each place. We got to experience Greece from the locals perspective and see so many incredible sights. This truly was the best way to experience Greece and totally worth every cent!
