The people from the tour company, the Blue Star Ferry, the taxi companies, airport, the hotel staffs and the random people I have encountered along with way, who went out of their ways to help me!

What our customers ask about Island Hopping Tours & Trips
What are the most popular destinations for island hopping in Greece?
You'll find most travelers heading to Santorini, where you can explore the famous caldera and white buildings perched on cliffs. Naxos is another favorite, with beautiful beaches like Plaka and Agios Prokopios where you can relax in the sun. Mykonos rounds out the top three with its mix of beaches and lively atmosphere. One TourRadar traveler mentions "the hotels were really nice, especially in Naxos with its stunning location overlooking the sea."
What kind of experiences will I have on an island hopping tour?
You'll get to sail through Santorini's caldera on traditional wooden boats, walk up to the Nea Kameni volcano, and take a dip in natural hot springs filled with sulfur and iron. The sunset views from Oia village are a highlight for many visitors. A TourRadar traveler shares, "The sunset cruise in Santorini was unforgettable, with dinner served while anchored near Thirasia Island, followed by watching the sun set over Oia's golden-hued buildings."
Where will I stay during my island hopping tour?
You'll stay in 3 or 4-star hotels like the El Greco Resort in Santorini or the Grotta Hotel in Naxos. Regular rooms come with the basics you need, while upgraded rooms often have better views and extra amenities. A TourRadar traveler notes, "The Mykonos Bay Hotel was our absolute favorite, with beautiful beach views and incredibly friendly staff."
When should I plan my Greek island hopping trip?
Plan your trip between April and October when the weather is nicest, with temperatures between 68°F and 85°F (20°C to 29°C). If you want to avoid crowds and peak prices, skip July and August. A TourRadar traveler suggests "visiting in September when the weather is still warm but the islands are less crowded."
What can I expect from the sailing trips between islands?
You can join half or full-day boat trips, especially around Santorini's volcanic islands. Many people enjoy the Aphrodite cruise, where you'll eat dinner on board while watching the sunset near the caldera. As one TourRadar traveler says, "The wooden boat sunset cruise in Santorini, complete with dinner and local wine, provided stunning views of the volcanic islands and Oia's sunset."
Which island combinations work best for a Greek island hopping tour?
Many travelers start in Athens, then visit Mykonos and Santorini. This route gives you a mix of ancient history and famous island views. Another popular option is Zakynthos, Milos, and Santorini, where you can see Navagio Beach and unique volcanic landscapes. A TourRadar traveler shares, "the hotels were nicely located, offering incredible views of the Aegean sea and helpful staff making the island-hopping experience seamless."
What different activities can I do on each island?
Each island offers something special. In Santorini, you can explore the volcanic caldera. Zakynthos has the Blue Caves for swimming, and you can visit ancient ruins in Delphi. The white rock formations at Sarakiniko Beach in Milos look like you're on the moon, and Ios has peaceful beaches like Magganari. A TourRadar traveler notes: "Each island offered something unique - from Santorini's stunning sunsets viewed from Oia to the crystal-clear waters of Hydra's coves."
