Who this trip is for

01

First-time visitors who want guided highlights

Get oriented on the included mainland visits, then explore the islands independently rather than with a tour group.

02

Solo travelers comfortable with independent time

Ask me about single-room options and any solo supplement. This itinerary has no accompanying tour group.

Friends or family who want history and island days

Share a planned route and time to explore together. We’ll talk through the walking pace and longer ferry journeys before booking.

A taste of what’s ahead

Itinerary
highlights

Begin in Athens, explore Delphi and Meteora via Kalambaka, then ferry to Mykonos and Santorini before returning to Athens. The 11-day itinerary includes nine hotel nights, nine breakfasts and one dinner; day one is the overnight flight from the US.

This is an independent trip, not a group tour. Guides join the included mainland excursions, not the whole journey. Delos, organized Oia visits, island cruises, and Santorini cooking or wine activities are optional at extra cost, subject to season and availability.

Regular-speed ferries include approximately 5.5 hours Athens–Mykonos and 7.5 hours Santorini–Athens; high-speed upgrades cost extra. Expect uneven paths and stairs at the ancient sites and monasteries. Hotel taxes, unspecified entrance fees, drinks, tips and unlisted services are extra. Ferry timings and excursions can change with weather; the itinerary order also varies by departure day. Confirm the full itinerary, room arrangements, current dates and rates with Exoticca before booking.
