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 into 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 exchange proper hellos with your fellow travelers over an included dinner. 

Meals: Dinner 

With no time to waste, we'll start our island-hopping adventures today with our first destination: 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.

Meals: Breakfast

Included Experiences: 
Private Transport from Port to Hotel
Don't spend another second worrying about how you'll get around Athens. We've got that covered with a private transfer from the port to the hotel. 
Ferry Ride from Athens to Mykonos 
All aboard! Time to sail from Athens to Mykonos, checking out that glittering sea view as we go. Includes reserved seating.

Get ready for a day full of viewing coastal windmills, and stuffing your face with olives, feta, and tzatziki. We'll stroll down storybook streets dotted with those gorgeous blue domes and we'll pick up some evil eye ornaments along the way to keep the bad vibes away. And this is all before you've even taken a dip in the ocean! Doesn't get much better than this... The day is yours to soak up the sunshine and play in the sea.

Meals: Breakfast 

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.
Beaches, naturally sculpted swimming coves, a Byzantine church, and traditional villages: we must be in Paros. You're free to get into the sun and sea vibes. Those who feel like exploring can sign up for an optional trip to a traditional village where you'll visit a local family-run bakery and shop the local handicrafts. 

Meals: Breakfast

Included Experiences: 
Ferry Ride from Mykonos to Paros 
We'll set sail from marvelous Mykonos to perfect Paros, with reserved seating included. 

Another day, another Greek Island delight. Hold tight - today we're off for a visit to Naoussa, a fishing village with colorful fishing boats and white-washed houses. Tonight, you'll have free time to explore the local area and find yourself some dinner, before heading out to sample the local nightlife. 

Meals: Breakfast 

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, we have arrived! Tonight you'll have an included transfer to Fira to explore Santorini's capital and roam the cobbled streets.

Meals: Breakfast

Included Experiences: 
Ferry Ride from Paros to Santorini 
We'll board the ferry in Paros and set sail for the sultry island of Santorini. With reserved seating included. 
Transfer from Hotel to Fira 
Don't worry about going from the hotel to Fira, we've got you covered. (It's what we do best at all.)

Rise and shine, Greek Island travelers! The island of Santorini won't explore itself. Today is your day to take a swim at Perissa Beach, eat the local specialty of fried tomato balls known as tomato keftedes, or roam and explore. You can even opt to take a visit to the incredible Oia followed by a visit to the black sand beach of Santorini. 

Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

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 afterward.

Meals: Breakfast, Dinner 

Included Experiences:
Ferry Ride from Santorini to Ios
We'll board the ferry in Santorini and set sail for inspiring Ios. Includes reserved seating (think of us as your Ferry Godmother.)

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 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.
 
Meals: Breakfast

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. 
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.

Meal: Breakfast

Included Experiences: 
Ferry Ride from Ios to Athens 
We'll board the ferry in Ios and head back to where we started: the lovely Athens. Includes reserved seating. 
Private Transport from Port to Hotel
Don't spend another second worrying about how you'll get around Athens. We've got that covered with a private transfer from the port to the hotel.

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 and for those of you who have the time, there's an optional city tour and Acropolis visit.
