Travel Athens Santorini & Mykonos your way
For travelers wanting to really dig into these Greek hotspots, several explorer-focused tours stand out. The most popular ones run 7 days and hit all three destinations with carefully planned timing. What makes these work well is how they mix guided elements with free time - you'll get your essential transfers sorted but still have space to wander. Our customers particularly love the ferry connections between islands and the mix of organized activities like volcano visits in Santorini with independent exploration time in Mykonos' charming streets. The hotels are typically placed in prime spots, though some travelers mention they prefer staying closer to Oia in Santorini rather than Kamari Beach. The sunset catamaran cruise near Oia consistently gets high marks, with travelers noting how the whole caldera turns golden as the sun sets.

Best tour companies for Athens Santorini & Mykonos tours
Based on the travel agency reviews, Travel Zone stands out as your best bet for reliable Greek tours. Their travelers consistently mention how well everything flows together - from the carefully planned daily schedules to the quality hotels they use. If you prefer to move at your own pace, Dot Travel Greece handles the tricky parts of island hopping while letting you explore independently. They're particularly good at sorting out those complicated ferry connections between islands. While WingBuddy's prices look attractive up front, you might want to think twice - quite a few customers weren't happy with their hotel picks and mentioned spending too much time waiting around for ferries. Travel Talk hits a sweet spot for solo travelers watching their budget. Their guide Stefanos gets lots of mentions in reviews for going above and beyond, though some of their hotel choices can be hit or miss. Eskapas Travel rounds out the solid options, with Alex from their team earning special praise for solving problems quickly and keeping transfers running smoothly. They're especially good if you want to avoid the usual travel headaches and just enjoy your time in Greece. For the best experience, I'd suggest either Travel Zone if you want everything handled professionally from start to finish, or Dot Travel Greece if you prefer more independence but still want the logistics taken care of.
Popular Athens Santorini & Mykonos Cruise Ships
Best places to start your Athens Santorini & Mykonos tour
The numbers tell an interesting story about how people plan their Greek trips - most of our travelers, 91 to be exact, kick things off in Athens, while just a handful start their journey from Mykonos or Santorini (4 and 2 respectively). Looking at booking patterns, people tend to lock in their plans about 4.5 months ahead, around 134 days before they travel. That's actually pretty smart, especially if you're thinking about visiting in summer when these spots get really busy with visitors from all over.
Discover Athens Santorini & Mykonos tours for every budget
For travelers watching their budget, several well-crafted tours combine the essential Greek experiences without unnecessary frills. Our most popular budget-focused option runs 6 days and includes guided exploration of Athens' ancient sites, followed by ferry rides to both Santorini and Mykonos. What makes these tours work well is how they balance organized activities with free time - you'll get expert guidance at the Acropolis but can explore Santorini's black sand beaches at your own pace. Other budget-conscious options focus on just Athens and Santorini over 5 days, which our customers say gives them more time to really get to know each place. The hotels are simple but well-located, and the included transfers take away the stress of figuring out Greek transportation.

Our guests often mention how much they appreciate the balance - structured morning activities followed by free afternoons to discover local tavernas and hidden corners of each destination. The 10-day journey goes deeper, with authentic experiences like wine sampling in Santorini's traditional cave cellars and cooking workshops in Athens, where you'll prepare dishes while gazing at ancient ruins. The island segments shine particularly bright, as travelers join intimate sunset catamaran rides near Oia and explore Mykonos' winding pathways with knowledgeable local guides.

Private / Personalized
52 tours in Athens Santorini & MykonosOur private tours come with dedicated guides and drivers who really make the experience special. The main 7-day tour uses premium hotels in great spots throughout Greece, and our travelers love how flexible everything is - they can sleep in a bit or spend extra time at sites that catch their interest. We've got a longer 10-day option too that gets into some cool local experiences, like tasting wines in traditional Santorini caves and exploring ancient Akrotiri with expert guides. You'll have private transfers everywhere and local experts just a call away. One thing that makes these tours really work is the timing - we know exactly when to visit popular spots like Oia's sunset views to avoid the biggest crowds.
Top Athens Santorini & Mykonos travel itineraries to fit your plans
For quick island escapes, several 3-day tours focus on combining Mykonos and Santorini with smooth transfers and well-planned timing. These tours start in Athens with private drivers meeting you at the airport, then whisk you off to the islands via high-speed ferry. Our travelers particularly enjoy the flexibility - you can add wine tastings in Mykonos' local vineyards or join a caldera cruise in Santorini with BBQ on board. The hotels are picked for their locations, though some guests mention it's worth requesting rooms away from steep hills if mobility is a concern. What works especially well is having all the ferry logistics handled while keeping free time to explore places like Little Venice in Mykonos and also Oia's sunset spots.
The week-long tours really hit their stride with a nice balance of Athens exploration and island time. Several excellent options start with guided Acropolis visits before heading to Mykonos, where you get two full days to discover hidden beaches and those famous windmills. Our customers particularly value the mix of structured activities and independent exploration - you might join a volcano tour in Santorini one day, then have time to yourself wandering through Fira's narrow streets the next. The accommodations vary from central Athens hotels to caldera-view properties in Santorini, with special mention going to the Mykonos stays that offer great access to the old town's maze-like alleys. Just note that some travelers suggest flying rather than taking the longer ferry rides if you're short on time.
For those wanting to really sink into Greek island life, the 10-day itineraries offer deeper cultural immersion and also more relaxed pacing. These tours typically dedicate three full days to each location, starting with comprehensive Athens exploration including the Panathenaic Stadium, Temple of Zeus and organized Acropolis visits. The island portions mix guided elements - like Santorini's volcanic islands cruise with hot springs swimming - with plenty of free time to discover your own favorite spots. Our travelers consistently highlight the evening activities, from sunset watching in Oia to discovering local tavernas in Mykonos' Little Venice. The accommodation choices lean toward beachfront properties on the islands, though some guests mention preferring hotels closer to town centers for easier evening access.
Demographics
The 5-7 day tours work really well if you're traveling solo - they sort out all the tricky bits like Greek ferry connections between Athens, Mykonos and Santorini while giving you chances to meet other travelers. You'll do some things as a group, like exploring the Acropolis with a guide, but there's plenty of time to do your own thing too. Our solo guests often join the optional group dinners in Athens and hop on sunset boat trips in Santorini - it's an easy way to meet people but you can skip it if you're not feeling social. We put you up in hotels right in the middle of things, so you can easily walk to restaurants and bars in safe areas.
Couples tend to book our 9-day option with private transfers throughout - it adds a nice touch of comfort to the whole trip. You'll get to do special things together like tasting wines in Santorini's cave cellars and having dinner while watching the sun go down in Oia. What works well is how the schedule flows - you'll have expert guides showing you around places like the Acropolis, then free time to explore Mykonos' little streets just the two of you. The hotels are picked for romance - think rooms with caldera views in Santorini and nice little balconies in the old part of Mykonos town.
If you're in your 20s or early 30s, our 5-7 day tours mix old-world culture with modern Greek life. You'll check out ancient sites in Athens during the morning, then have evenings free to try local restaurants and bars. The Mykonos part puts you near all the good nightspots while sorting out daytime transport to the best beaches. Over in Santorini, you can join sailing trips with other young travelers - there's swimming at volcanic beaches, food cooked right on the boat and great views as the sun sets.
Our 7-9 day tours give senior travelers enough time to really take in each place without rushing. In Athens, you get private guides for the Acropolis who know all the easier routes that avoid the steep bits. The hotels in Mykonos and Santorini are chosen because they're easy to get to and close to where things happen. You can see Santorini's villages by car instead of walking the long caldera path, and there's plenty of time built in to just relax and enjoy things at your own speed.
When taking kids along, our 7-day tours hit all the Greek spots with private transfers that make life much easier with family in tow. Parents tell us they love how the schedule works - you'll do cultural bits in the morning like the Acropolis, then have free afternoons to wander through Plaka's kid-friendly areas. Over in Mykonos, you'll mix quick looks at old buildings with plenty of beach time at spots that work well for families. The hotels are picked carefully, all in handy locations with proper family rooms. Kids get really excited about the boat trip around Santorini's caldera - there's an active volcano to see and stops for swimming at beaches where the water's nice and calm.

Best time to visit Athens Santorini & Mykonos
- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter in Athens and the islands focuses on culture and indoor activities when things are quieter. You'll get more space at the Acropolis Museum and archaeological sites in Athens - our guides love showing people around without summer crowds getting in the way. We've got this great 3-day deep dive into Athens that pairs nicely with Santorini, where the volcano and hot springs feel extra special in winter. Another option links Athens with Mykonos, and you really get to see local life when tourists are gone. The thermal springs tour in Santorini works particularly well in the cool months, and our travelers tell us that Oia takes on this magical quality under those moody winter skies.

- Spring 2026
Spring hits that sweet spot for island hopping between Athens, Mykonos and Santorini. Our 7-day trips usually kick off in Athens at the Acropolis, then you'll catch a ferry to Mykonos where the morning streets are still peaceful. The timing works out perfectly for wildflowers along Santorini's caldera paths, and you can really enjoy the volcano hike without melting. The food experiences this time of year are something special - we've got this tour that includes wine tasting at a 12-acre Mykonos vineyard where you'll try local varieties like Moschofilero and Kountoura, plus sample olive oil from Koroneikos trees. Megalochori village in Santorini is lovely too when the grape vines start showing their first green shoots.

- Summer 2026
Summer means working with the sun and dodging the busiest spots. We start Athens sightseeing early before it heats up, then get you to Mykonos beaches for afternoon swims. The sunset caldera cruises in Santorini include BBQ dinners on board - much nicer than squeezing through the Oia crowds. One of our clever options takes you to Delos from Mykonos in the morning, getting you back to town when you can explore the shaded streets. We build in flexible free time so you can cool off in air-conditioned cafes or museums during the hot hours, then come out for evening walks and seaside dinners.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall brings ideal weather for getting outdoors, especially in Santorini where the caldera hikes become much more enjoyable. Our week-long trips mix morning history tours in Athens with afternoon stops at local wine bars and tavernas. Mykonos still offers great swimming at the quieter beaches, and you can explore the windmills and Little Venice without bumping into summer crowds. The sailing tours around Santorini really shine in fall - we do these trips with stops at Red Beach, White Beach and also the hot springs, where the temperature contrast feels just right.

How Long Should You Plan for Athens, Mykonos and Santorini?
Most travelers find 7 to 10 days hits the sweet spot for exploring these amazing Greek destinations. You'll want about 2-3 days in Athens to really soak in the history and city vibes then another 2-3 days each for Mykonos and Santorini. The beaches and nightlife of Mykonos need proper time to enjoy while Santorini's incredible caldera views and volcanic landscapes are worth savoring. If you're looking for a well-organized option the Athens Santorini & Mykonos 7-day Premium tour works great for most people.
What's the Best Way to Get Around These Places?
Island hopping by ferry is definitely the way to go here. Blue Star Ferries and SeaJets run fast comfortable services between Athens' Piraeus port and both islands. While flying is an option the ferry journey gives you amazing views and that real Greek island-hopping experience. That said if you're pressed for time flying back to Athens from Santorini can be smart especially after you've done the scenic ferry route on the way out.
Where Can You Find the Most Authentic Greek Experience?
Athens naturally wins for history with the Acropolis Plaka's winding streets and those amazing local tavernas serving up real Greek food. But don't overlook Mykonos' hidden gems like the traditional farm in Ano Mera where you can learn about organic farming taste fresh bread kopanisti cheese and raki. Santorini brings its own authenticity especially in Megalochori village where traditional charm meets local wine culture giving you a totally different side of Greek life.
What Hidden Gems Should You Check Out?
There's so much beyond the usual tourist spots. In Mykonos seek out quiet beaches like Houlakia or Agios Sostis maybe join a jeep tour to reach them. Santorini has these amazing ancient paths through places like Emporio with its 15th-century buildings or Imerovigli where you'll get those stunning caldera views without Oia's crowds. Athens surprises you with neighborhoods like Psiri full of street art and cool bars or Exarcheia where you'll find indie bookshops and authentic cafes that tourists rarely discover.
