What our customers ask about Island Hopping Tours from Athens
When is the best time to go island hopping from Athens?
Plan your trip between May and September when the weather is ideal - around 75-85°F (24-29°C). Keep in mind that July and August get really crowded and hot. If you want a more relaxed experience with great weather, try going in spring (April-May) or early fall (September-October). A recent traveler told us: "We went in September and had perfect weather without the peak summer crowds." June through September offers the most tour options, with about 30 departures each month.
How long do Athens island hopping tours usually last?
Most tours run between 7 and 11 days, spending 2-3 nights on each island. Many travelers enjoy the 11-day Greek island tour that takes you to Mykonos, Paros, Naxos, and Santorini. You'll stay at nice places like the Poseidon Hotel in Athens and Paradise Beach Resort in Mykonos.
Which islands will I visit on tours from Athens?
Most tours take you to Santorini, Mykonos, Naxos and Paros. Each island has its own personality - you can watch the famous sunset in Oia on Santorini, enjoy Mykonos's lively nightlife, explore old villages like Aperathos on Naxos, or relax on Paros's beautiful beaches like Chrissi Akti and Santa Maria.
What kind of hotels can I expect on these tours?
You'll stay in comfortable 3-4 star hotels like the Acropolis Hill Hotel in Athens and Belle Etoile Villas in Santorini. One traveler mentioned: "The hotels were always clean and close to everything, with the Athens' hotel offering beautiful Acropolis views." The hotels are usually right in the middle of things, making it easy to explore.

You'll leave from Athens' Piraeus port by either regular or fast ferry. Regular ferries take about 5-7 hours to reach islands like Mykonos (leaving at 7:30 AM, getting there at 12:45 PM). Fast ferries are 2-3 hours quicker. Many travelers stay at places like the Royal Olympic Hotel in Athens before early morning departures. One traveler noted: "All transfers were well organized, though the SeaJet ferry ride can be quite bumpy in rougher seas."

The most popular combinations are Mykonos and Santorini, Naxos and Santorini, or Paros and Santorini. On Mykonos, you can see the famous windmills and enjoy the nightlife.
