Helloooo, Athens! Cue epic adventures, crystal-clear water and more gyros than your fat pants can handle. Think: 4am kebab - but better. Gather 'round Spartans! Tonight we'll meet the gang and dine Greek style: brace yourself for a legendary included group dinner at your hotel.

Then: delve deeper into these archeological sites with an afternoon of free time – the mighty Acropolis is waiting. Ready to dial up your ancient history quota? Jump on an optional afternoon trip to Cape Sounion and Attica. Or spend your free time hunting down the best Greek donut shop in Athens. And this evening? It’s all yours. We rec finding local haunt for some seriously good saganaki – it’s cheese, it’s fried, it’s goddam delicious.

Day 3: Athens – Mykonos (Cyclades)

Location: Mykonos

Meals Included: Breakfast

We're not going to lie, this morning's an early one - but it's going to be oh-so-worth it! Set sail from the birthplace of democracy to Mykonos, Greece's unofficial beach party capital. As a group, we'll hit up the windmills in Little Venice for THAT photo, check out the white-washed shop fronts of Old Town and make a mental note of all the beachfront cocktail bars to check out later. Then: the rest is up to you! Ever heard of Paradise Beach? It's where Europe goes to party. 'Nough said.

Day 4: Mykonos

Meals Included: Breakfast

Sore head this morning? DW we’ve got the cure – a free day lazing on Mykonos’ soft sandy beaches. If you’re up for it, spend your day at a Greek cooking class. Drool-worthy dishes and REAL local history? Say less. Or lace up those Nikes for an included hike around Paradise Beach. It’s 100% up to you. Looking for some local inspo? Your Trip Leader’s more clued-up than the Cluedo World Champion ‘96. Make the most of it!

Day 5: Mykonos – Paros

Location: Paros

Meals Included: Breakfast

Say goodbye to Mykonos - we're hopping over to Paros this morning. Expect: more white-and-blue coloured paradise. Get your bearings around Parikia (aka Paros' capital) before cutting loose to do whatever you want. Get your architecture fix at the Church of 100 Doors. Explore the cobblestone streets in Naoussa. Or grab some chill time at Kolimbithres Beach. Options, options...

Day 6: Paros

Oh, what’s that? Free time to do your own thing? We thought so. Soak up the sweet beach vibes. Settle in at a taverna. Or jump on the bus to Lefkes for some sick views. Want to explore a little deeper? There’s a full day trip to Naoussa, Kolymbithres beach and the church of Ekatontapiliani on offer too. Get out there! And tonight? We’re dining like locals with an included group meal, so get ready to share your top Greek legends/arty AF shell pics (we know you’ve got them).

Nikos was the best travel guide ever! He had so much knowledge about everything we asked him and made the trip so much fun. Everywhere we stayed was beautiful and close to everything.

The trip was amazing. Didn’t do any optionals apart from the final one in Santorini because I was tight on money but never felt left out or I hadn’t seen or experienced anything at the destinations. The places we went to were very nice each one being different from the last stop. ...more ...less

I had so much fun in Greece. Learned a lot, ate great food, made new friends, and genuinely had a good time. Athina, our trip leader was the best!

This trip was definitely worth the money! Greece for the first time can be daunting especially with the ferries, the crowds and the language barrier but this was a perfect way to see the best of Greece and not have to stress! Maria was the most amazing guide, if you are lucky enough to have her as your trip leader you will have the best time. Would have loved an extra couple of nights more to see a different island, perhaps Milos or Ios, but that isn’t a reason not to consider this trip it was amazing!! (oh and the Mykonos accomodation is a highlight!!) YAMAS!! ...more ...less

Overall the accommodation was great, the second location however was underwhelming and could be improved. The activities included in the trip were also a lot of a fun although the swim in the hot springs was not quite what we were expecting.

As most trips go there are pros and cons! Pros - organised ferry’s, trip leader looked out for us and gave recommendations, trio leader had knowledge about Greece, good group of friends to explore with Cons - walking in extreme heat including from the port to accommodation while our bags were allowed on an empty bus but we weren’t, trip leaders can’t talk about a lot of stuff in public due to laws but makes walking tours not much of a tour Did enjoy doing it for the first time to Greece, got discounts and helpful tips on how to navigate the islands but would be prepared not all transfers are included! Overall would recommend :) ...more ...less

Having an extra day in each location so there’s more time to explore wider areas would be a great option
