Greek Island Hopping: Santorini, Naxos & Paros Uncovered

Days 1-3  Santorini
Fly to Santorini, where whitewashed walls, cobbled paths and blue-domed churches welcome you. Evocative of romance, the dramatic volcanic landscape with sheer cliff faces contrasts with the unique minimalist aesthetic of the surrounding architecture and deep blue Aegean Sea. Leisurely stroll the picturesque streets in search of a spot to marvel at the legendary sunsets on the west side of the island. Why not walk the scenic trail between Santorini’s two biggest towns, from Fira to Oia, passing through small villages and marvelling at stunning panoramas over the coast. Head to the famed black beaches of Kamari or Perissa to unwind or for the history enthusiasts, a visit to the archaelogical site of Akrotiri is a must.

Days 4-6  Naxos
This morning, you will be picked up and taken to your ferry transfer to the island of Naxos. The largest island in the Cyclades, Naxos is known for its extensive beaches and diverse landscape of fertile valleys, traditional villages and ancient ruins such as the Venetian Castle in the old town. Wander this agricultural heart where fresh-seafood, delicious meats, local wines and Arseniko cheese makes this island a culinary paradise.

Days 7-9  Paros
After breakfast, you will be dropped off in time to hop on a ferry to Paros. This beautiful Greek island boasts stretches of golden sand beaches, quiet coves and the charming fishing village of Naoussa, where a lively atmosphere perfectly blends with authentic Greek hospitality. Explore the history of this area with a visit to the Byzantine Church, Panagia Ekatontapiliani or perhaps take a boat over to the small island of Antiparos with its pristine beach lined coast and tranquil setting providing a slower pace of life.

Day 10  Santorini
Hop on a ferry back to Santorini for a final night, embracing a dramatic sunset as you reminisce on your holiday.
