What people love about Greek Islands Tours in October
- 2 Greek Islands Tour - 5 Days - Paros & Santorini - Premium
We had a good time in Santorini. Two days were enough for Fira and Oia. Our hotel was in a quiet location with tidy and clean rooms. The staff was kind and willing to help us with anything we needed. The place we stayed in Paros was near the port, next to the few taverns that remain open at this time of year. The ekatontapiliani church is worth seeing.
- Greek Island Hopping with Guided Tours - With 4* hotels Premium
From research and others I knew Greece would be very nice. I underestimated how nice. It should be considered a bucket list trip. The Island Hopping is the way to go to maximize the experience of Greece. We started in Athens and visited Mykonos, Paros, Naxos and Santorini. It was 12 day trip but more time could have been spent in Mykonos & Santorini. It would have been nice to add Crete but the trip would then need to be 15+ days. It was very nice to have all of the travel plans made for us. At each stop there was a driver and a tour representative waiting on us to ensure we got to the Hotel and what was planned for us. I would recommend Personal Guided Tours versus Group Tours for your excursions as you will get more information and I think a better experience. We are from the United States and I would have to say in most of Greece their 4-Star Hotels are not the same standard as we experience here in the States. Also, quality of the Air Conditioning (ability to get the room cool sub 74 degrees fahrenheit) is lacking. These were minor issues. We had an awesome time and I would highly recommend this trip and Travel Company.
- Vacations in Greece - 9 Days - Athens, Paros, Naxos, Santorini
Excellent for my purpose in Greece. Very good selection of hotels and all the staff was very nice.

Ferry services continue between the islands in October though on a reduced schedule. Main routes such as Athens-Mykonos (4-6 hours) and Santorini-Piraeus maintain daily connections.

October fills the Greek Islands with local celebrations. Santorini's Ifestia Festival lights up the sky with fireworks while honoring the island's volcanic heritage. On Naxos traditional harvest festivals bring communities together for wine tasting and folk dancing. A recent visitor noted "The local festivals in October gave us a genuine taste of Greek culture especially in the less touristy areas of Naxos and Paros."
