5 Nights in the Greek Islands from Athens: Santorini, Mykonos and Syros

Go island hopping in Greece on an unforgettable 5-day tour from Athens, taking in the islands of Syros, Mykonos and Santorini. In between ferry cruises from one island to the next, enjoy free time to soak up the islands' seductive scenery: lazing on beaches, exploring whitewashed towns and basking under the blazing sun - sunglasses are a necessity in this part of Greece, not just a fashion statement!

Enjoy 3- or 5-star hotel accommodation on the islands, with overnight stays in Syros and Mykonos, followed by two nights in romantic Santorini.

Leave the city bustle of Athens behind, and set out to explore three of the most exciting islands in the Greek Cyclades archipelago - a cluster of small islands and rocky outcrops adrift in the Aegean Sea. Before you arrive, you will receive the different sailing times and your hotel details throughout your 5-day tour. All activities, lunches and dinners on the islands are at your own expense.

Start with an overnight stay in Syros, the capital of the Cyclades Islands, and get your first taste for Greek island life in a place that's totally off the tourist trail; it's an island that's popular with Greeks rather than the traveling masses. Contrast the ambiance with an overnight stay in the party island of Mykonos -- known for its vibrant nightlife and cosmopolitan restaurants -- and then spend your last two nights in chic Santorini, where romance is a natural resource. Discover a quintessentially Greek landscape of whitewashed houses and bright blue domes, stacked into the cliffs overlooking Santorini's dramatic caldera (volcanic bay); prepare to be wooed.
