13 Days in Greek Islands, incl. Mykonos and Santorini
Island-hopping magic unfolds over 13 days covering 5 main destinations: Athens, Mykonos, Paros, Naxos, and Santorini. Highlights include UNESCO-listed Delos ruins, Koufonisia's hidden coves, and Akrotiri archaeological site. Features 4 island cruises, including volcanic hot springs and traditional village tours.
- Days 1-3
Mykonos
Start with a morning ferry from Piraeus port to Mykonos. Book the 7:30 AM ferry to get the most out of your first day. Get to Psarou Beach by 10 AM before it fills up. This is especially important in July and August when the beach gets packed. Want great photos of the famous windmills? Visit about an hour before sunset when the light is soft and most tourists have left. Skip the overpriced restaurants in Little Venice. You'll find better, more authentic Greek food in the quieter back streets of Mykonos Town, where prices are about 30-40% less.
- Days 4-6
Paros
The ferry from Mykonos takes about 2.5 hours. Stay in either Parikia or Naoussa. Naoussa is quieter but costs more. Visit the Valley of the Butterflies early morning or late afternoon when the butterflies are most active. Check out the marble quarries at Marathi but bring good shoes. The ground is rough and can be slick.
- Days 7-9
Naxos
It's just a 45-minute ferry ride to Naxos. Planning to climb Mount Zeus? Start early and pack plenty of water. It's the highest point in the Cyclades at 1,004m and gets hot quickly. Visit Apiranthos village in the late afternoon to see locals gathering in the main square.
- Days 10-12
Santorini
A recent visitor shared: "The path from Fira to Oia can get extremely crowded and hot. Start the walk by 7 AM and bring a hat – there's zero shade along the way." Skip Oia's sunset on your first night when it's most crowded. Try Imerovigli instead for great caldera views without the crowds. Get to Akrotiri archaeological site when it opens at 8 AM, before the tour buses arrive. Bring sturdy shoes for the volcano visit. The rocks are sharp and loose. The hot springs aren't actually hot, just warm, and the sulfur can stain light swimsuits brown.
- Day 13
Return to Athens
Take an afternoon ferry back to Athens to avoid the morning hotel rush. Travel time is 5-8 hours. High-speed ferries cost about $20-30 more but save 2-3 hours.
13 Day Greek Islands Itinerary, incl. Athens and Santorini
A 13-day adventure through 7 destinations including Athens and 4 islands. Visit Mykonos' Matogiania district, Santorini's Oia sunset, Crete's ancient Knossos, and Corfu's Achilleion Palace. Features private guides and optional BBQ cruises.
- Days 1-2
Athens
Arrive early to avoid afternoon airport traffic. Spend your first day getting settled and explore Plaka neighborhood for dinner. On day two, visit the Acropolis at 8 AM before crowds and heat set in. One traveler noted: "The guided tours were excellent and the drivers were always on time. I highly recommend starting with Athens to understand Greek history."
- Days 3-4
Mykonos
Take the 7:25 AM ferry from Piraeus port. Get there by 6:45 AM to reach Mykonos by 11:25 AM. Stay near Little Venice for easy access to restaurants and nightlife. The windmills offer great photos during golden hour. You can take a Delos and Rhenia cruise ($165) to see archaeological sites and swim. Bring water shoes for Delos's rocky paths.
- Days 5-6
Santorini
Book morning ferries from Mykonos to Santorini for smoother sailing. For Oia's sunset, arrive 2 hours early to get a good spot. The Caldera cruise ($160) includes hot springs swimming. Wear dark swimwear since the springs can stain light colors. A past visitor said: "We were upgraded to suites at most hotels and the sunset views from Oia were absolutely worth the crowds."
- Days 7-9
Crete (Heraklion)
Morning ferry to Heraklion takes 2-3 hours. Visit Knossos Palace early when you have energy. The site has little shade so pack a hat and water. Check out Heraklion's old town food markets and take a trip to Rethymno (1.5 hours by car). Make time for olive oil tasting. Cretan olive oil ranks among Greece's best.
- Days 10-11
Corfu
Book morning flights from Heraklion to Corfu for better prices. Walk through the UNESCO Old Town but wear good shoes. The cobblestones get slippery. Start at Mon Repos Palace, then visit Paleokastritsa bay in the afternoon for better photos. Try the local kumquat liqueur.
- Days 12-13
Athens & Departure
Return to Athens for your final night. Browse the Monastiraki flea market on your last morning. Get to the airport 3 hours before international flights.
13 Day Island Tour in Mykonos, Santorini, Crete & Rhodes
A captivating 13-day adventure through Athens and 4 islands: Mykonos, Santorini, Crete (3 nights), and Rhodes. Features Acropolis tour, Oia sunset, Knossos Palace, and Rhodes' medieval town. All transfers and accommodations included at approx. $420 per day.

What people love about 2 Week Greek Islands Tours
We did the Andros self guided walking hol . Cannot really find fault with virtually anything, the stuff from Explore was incredibly detailed, accomodation was very good, routes also good. The last accomodation at Agios Petros was very good but in a slightly 'No man's land' area. It was a fair distance to any choice of Tavernas & a mini market along a rather busy & in some places narrow road.

- Athens & 5 Greek Islands Tour - 13 Days - Standard
Overall was very good I made a mistake in the first question. All accommodation was very good except Paros Island as the hotel was very far out of twin with no facilities around it. A 1.6Km walk along a windy dark road was very inconvenient. The hotel itself was fine. The Gotta hotel in Naxos was the friendliest hotel I ever stayed at excellent.
- Athens & 5 Greek Islands Tour - 13 Days - Premium
We highly recommend it!! In Athens we stayed very close to the historical center, the plaka area and syntagma square, clean comfortable room and wonderful hospitable staff!! The sunset is a must if you are visiting Santorini. Seeing the sun go down and the white houses on the mountain. A magical sight. We loved parikia with the many small streets in Greek style. The hotel in Syros was close to the beach, small and very clean with attention to detail. The drivers were always on time.
