Greece (Athens, Mykonos, Paros, Santorini, Ios)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Greece is a southeastern European country made up of the mainland and thousands of islands scattered across the Aegean and Ionian Seas. Athens, the ancient capital, draws visitors with iconic landmarks like the Acropolis and Parthenon, a thriving food scene, and buzzing neighbourhoods such as Monastiraki and Plaka. The Cycladic islands — Santorini, Mykonos, Paros, and Ios — are among the most visited in the world, famed for their whitewashed villages, volcanic beaches, vivid blue-domed churches, and lively nightlife. Travellers come for island hopping, sailing, snorkelling, world-class sunsets, and a rich blend of ancient history and Mediterranean culture.

Greek Island Hopping (Plus) — Self-Launched Edition: Athens, Mykonos, Paros, Santorini & Ios

An 11-day self-launched version of Contiki's Greek Island Hopping (Plus): Athens, Mykonos, Paros, Santorini and Ios, linked by public Blue Star and SeaJets ferries. You book your own guesthouses and hostels (comparable quality to the tour's 3-star island hotels), use the same ferries the tour reserves seats on, and pick up the optional boat trips, volcano cruises and village walks yourself via GetYourGuide, Klook or locally at the port. Solo travellers can do this at their own pace — and can save roughly £600–800 against the equivalent "Plus" departure. Costs are backpacker/budget-traveller estimates in GBP and are approximate; late-July/August peak pricing on Mykonos and Santorini can push accommodation up significantly.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Greece (Athens, Mykonos, Paros, Santorini, Ios) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
