7 Day Greece Itinerary, incl. Athens and Santorini
A 7-day Greek getaway takes you to Paros' Lefkes village and Kolymbithres Beach, Ios' 7 different shores with included snorkeling at Neverbay, and Santorini's stunning caldera. Rich with orientation walks, beach tours, and traditional village visits.
- Day 1
Athens
Begin your trip in Athens and stay in the Plaka neighborhood. It's an ideal central location within walking distance to major attractions. "The winding streets of Plaka are perfect for getting lost and finding hidden tavernas away from tourist crowds," according to a recent visitor. Plan for late dinners since most restaurants don't get busy until after 8 PM.
- Day 2
Athens to Paros (4 hours by ferry)
Take a morning ferry from Piraeus port to Paros. Get there 90 minutes early since the port gets busy and confusing. Once you arrive in Paroikia port, explore the white-cube old town and Venetian castle. Stay in Paroikia or Naoussa for convenient access to food and beaches. Look up ferry schedules before your trip since they vary by season.
- Day 3
Paros
Visit the mountain village of Lefkes in the morning and walk through its olive groves. Get to Kolymbithres Beach before 11 AM to find a good spot near the unique rock formations. One visitor advises: "The water at Kolymbithres is crystal clear but bring water shoes - the rocks can be slippery." Watch the sunset from Naoussa harbor to end your day.
- Day 4
Paros to Ios (2.5 hours by ferry)
- Day 5
Ios Beach Hopping
Take a tour of seven beaches around the island. Manganari Beach stands out with its calm swimming waters. Pack plenty of water and sun protection since shade is limited. A past visitor notes: "The beach tour was amazing but bring cash for beach bars as many don't accept cards." Have dinner at one of Mylopotas Beach's casual tavernas.
- Day 6
Ios to Santorini (1.5 hours by ferry)
- Day 7
Santorini
7 Days in Crete, incl. Chania and Heraklion
The essence of Greek Islands comes alive in this 7-day adventure across 15 destinations from Chania to Heraklion. Your journey includes 6 nights in 3-4 star hotels, visits to Knossos Palace and Spinalonga island, plus authentic meals in traditional tavernas, blending archaeology, beaches, and local culture.
- Day 1
Athens to Chania
Take a morning flight from Athens to Chania (1 hour). Visit the Allied Cemetery at Souda Bay and the ruins of Aptera. A recent visitor shared: "The views over Souda Bay from Aptera are breathtaking – try to time your visit for late afternoon when the light is magical." Spend your evening walking around the Old Venetian Harbor in Chania.
- Day 2
Western Crete
- Day 3
South Coast Adventure
Take the boat from Hora Sfakion to Agia Roumeli (1 hour). You can walk the first part of Samaria Gorge for some great views. Wear good walking shoes as the path is rocky. Later, visit Preveli Monastery and beach. The walk down is steep but the beach's palm trees make it feel like a tropical paradise.

7 Days in Greece, incl. Athens and Santorini

- Day 1
Athens
Plan to arrive in Athens after 2 PM to avoid morning traffic. Check into your hotel near Plaka and spend the evening walking to Monastiraki Square for dinner. A recent visitor noted: "Hotels were centrally located, making it easy to explore the historic center on foot - especially nice in the cooler evening hours."
- Day 2
Athens to Mykonos
- Day 3
Mykonos
Get an early start to explore Mykonos Town before the cruise crowds arrive at 10 AM. Walk through the harbor area and Little Venice to see the famous windmills. Skip the busy Paradise and Super Paradise beaches and try the quieter Agios Sostis beach in the north. Bring water shoes since some beaches are rocky.
- Day 4
Mykonos to Santorini
Enjoy a relaxed morning before taking the afternoon ferry to Santorini (2.5-3 hours). Stay in Fira or Imerovigli for great caldera views without paying Oia prices. One traveler said: "Mykonos was nice but the beauty of Santorini was spectacular. The tour was well organized and all the assistants and drivers very polite."
- Day 5
Santorini Volcano Cruise
Take the 6-hour volcano cruise to explore Nea Kameni. You'll need good walking shoes for the volcanic terrain. The trip includes hot spring swimming and sunset views near Oia. Bring a light jacket for the boat ride back. Dinner features local specialties like tzatziki and Greek salad with unlimited wine.

What people love about 7-day Greek Islands tours
- Incredible Crete!
This was an excellent tour, giving us a wonderful experience of Crete. The guides were very knowledgeable and the driving was safe! Would thoroughly recommend this company and tour
- Athens, Santorini & Mykonos Tour - 7 Days -
Everything went according to schedule and was enjoyable without any stress.
- Treasures of Crete
All my expectations were met. The hotel was good, the food however was not and bad mosquito problem. I enjoyed being in Hersonissos and a nice walk to the seaside restaurants of which there are many. All the day trips were interesting although long hours on the bus having to pick up people at their beach resorts. Crete is a big island so there was much ground to cover.
