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."

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?

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."
