What people love about Island Hopping Tours in Greek Islands
- Sailing Greece - Mykonos to Mykonos
Had a wonderful sailing trip with Phil. Enjoyed and learned a lot from sailing and experience different islands hopping, Greek culture, history, food, music and others. Our CEO is very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. He was fixing the toilet by himself and figured which route to take based on the wind everyday. He always make sure our safety come first and gave us options. He is a great skipper and very good in what he is doing. I would highly recommend this sailing trip!
- 4 Day Tour in Paros, Santorini, Mykonos an Amazing Greek Islands Hopping
Overall pretty good except for locations of the hotels….if you wanted to go out and maybe get dinner or see the sites downtown, you need to take a taxi. Since you’re only there one day, you lose time waiting and trying to get a taxi. Everything else went well - transfers, ferries, etc except one of our tours was canceled due to weather.
- 4 Day Tour of Crete, Santorini, and Mykonos to Discover Greek Islands
Amazing experience ! I suggest it !!

Greek Island hopping tours typically span 5 to 11 days covering key destinations like Athens Mykonos Santorini Paros and Naxos. The 11-day format offered by companies like Travel Zone allows visitors to spend 2 nights on each island giving enough time to explore local culture beaches and cuisine. According to a TourRadar traveler: "The 11-day format was perfect - we had enough time to really experience each island's unique character without feeling rushed with 2 nights in each destination being ideal."
How do you travel between the Greek Islands on these tours?
Greek island connections rely on a network of high-speed and regular ferries. Travel times range from 2 to 6 hours with the Athens to Mykonos route taking 4-6 hours and Mykonos to Santorini averaging 2-4 hours. Properties like Belle Etoile Villas in Santorini offer easy port access for smooth transitions. As noted by a TourRadar traveler: "The ferry transfers were seamless with comfortable seating and beautiful views along the way. Having all the tickets pre-arranged made island hopping stress-free."
What type of accommodation can I expect on island hopping tours?
Tour accommodations feature 3 to 4-star hotels such as Olia Hotel in Mykonos Belle Etoile Villas in Santorini and Arion Hotel in Athens. Most properties include breakfast and sit near beaches or town centers for easy exploration. As one TourRadar traveler mentions: "The hotels exceeded our expectations with amazing locations and views. The Grotta Hotel in Naxos was particularly memorable with its stunning sunset vistas and excellent service."
What are the must-see islands for first-time visitors?
First-time visitors should focus on the central Cyclades: Mykonos Santorini and either Paros or Naxos. Each island offers distinct experiences from Mykonos's windmills and nightlife to Santorini's volcano views and Oia sunsets. Properties like Grotta Hotel showcase traditional Greek architecture. A TourRadar traveler shares: "The combination of Mykonos's energy Santorini's dramatic views and Naxos's authentic Greek charm made for the perfect introduction to the Greek Islands."
How much spending money should I budget for additional expenses?
Plan for 50-70 USD daily to cover meals activities and shopping beyond tour inclusions. Factor in the Climate Resilience Tax (1.50-3.00 EUR per room nightly) and optional tours like the Delos excursion from Mykonos (55 USD). A TourRadar traveler suggests: "Besides included expenses we spent about 60 USD per day on meals and activities plus some extra for shopping and optional tours like the amazing Delos excursion."
