Greece Island Hop: Athens to Mykonos
From ancient Athens to sunlit Mykonos. Walk ruins at golden hour, feast like a local, and ferry across the Aegean to beach bars, grilled octopus and that island hop life.
Overview
The lowdown
This is your private Greek Island hop, with zero faff and all the flavour just for you. You’ll stay six nights split between culture-soaked Athens and postcard-perfect Mykonos, in boutique digs that land you close to the action. In Athens, we’ve lined up a half-day guided tour to see ruins, museums and plenty of tips for some afternoon Ouzo. There’s plenty of time to dive into Psirri’s after-dark energy or settle in at a taverna where the grilled octopus is better than it has any right to be. Then it’s a return ferry to Mykonos (sorted for you, of course), with a laid-back island tour that includes a beach stop, a stroll through the winding lanes of the old town, and a visit to the traditional village of Ano Mera. Private transfers between ports, airports, and hotels keep it slick, and every included tour comes with door-to-door pick-up. Plus, you’ve got 24/7 local support if things get a bit too Greek.
