7-Night Cruise in the Greek Cyclades Islands: Santorini, Paros, Mykonos and Syros

Spend seven nights island-hopping around the stunning Greek Cyclades Islands on this incredible cruise from Athens. Traveling aboard an intimately sized motor sail boat, enjoy attentive service from a crew of 20 while exploring the archipelago, scattered around the Aegean Sea between Athens and Crete. Spend two nights at sea, followed by overnight stays on board your boat in the heart of Santorini, Paros, Mykonos, Syros and Athens.

Choose to enjoy excursions, or simply soak up the sun and sublime scenery on your own; it's the stuff that Greek island dreams are made of.

Meet your friendly crew and fellow passengers on board your motor sail boat – the handsome Galileo. The intimately sized vessel sleeps a maximum of 50 with a crew of 20 – ensuring personalized service for the seven nights of your cruise. The smaller size of the Galileo also means that you are able to dock in the heart of each destination, alongside private mega yachts and near to the nightlife – something that the larger cruise liners struggle to offer.

After familiarizing yourself with the boat and meeting the crew, cruise counter clockwise around the Cyclades islands – a cluster of idyllic rocky islands lapped by the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea. Spend your first two nights at sea, stopping to visit Poros and Folegandros during the day, and then enjoy overnight stays and daytimes at leisure on Santorini, Paros, Mykonos, Syros and then back in mainland Greece in Athens.

Your 7-night cruise is totally independent, so all activities and excursions are payable at your own expense. Pre-arranged excursions are on offer on Paros, the sacred island of Delos and Santorini, should you wish to do them. Excluding Day 1 and Day 8, two meals each day are included on board your boat – a full American breakfast and then either lunch or dinner. Fun meals like a BBQ on deck and a Greek party night are part of the package!

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.
