A Greek island-hopping holiday you'll never forget

Athens: where ancient history meets contemporary charm

Begin your adventure in Athens, a city where ancient wonders effortlessly blend into the rhythm of modern life. Staying in the stylish Fresh Hotel, you’ll be just steps away from the vibrant markets of Monastiraki and the cultural treasures of Plaka. Wake up each morning to a delectable Greek breakfast and prepare for a day of exploration. On your included Athens City Tour, you’ll get to walk in the footsteps of ancient civilisations at the majestic Acropolis, marvel at the Parthenon, a symbol of democracy, and soak in unrivalled views of the city below. Afterwards, head to the Acropolis Museum, home to extraordinary artefacts and exhibitions that complete the story of ancient Athens.

Paros: discover Greece’s lesser-visited gem

Next, board the ferry to Paros for the first island stop of your trip. The views from the ferry deck promise to hypnotise you, with the Aegean waters sparkling in the sunlight. Upon arrival, settle into the serene Mr & Mrs White Paros, a boutique hotel that epitomises Cycladic elegance. Unspoilt, enchanting, and brimming with authentic charm, Paros invites you to wander through the whitewashed alleys of Naoussa, a postcard-perfect fishing village lined with chic boutiques and quaint cafés. The scent of fresh seafood will guide you to delightful restaurants where you can indulge in grilled octopus or Parian specialties like ‘gouna’ (sun-dried fish).

For beach lovers, the options are endless. Paros boasts secluded coves and pristine stretches of sand, such as Kolymbithres, known for its unique rock formations, and the golden shores of Chrissi Akti. Evenings on Paros are just as captivating. Catch the sunset at Cape Agios Fokas or enjoy live traditional Greek music at a local taverna.

Santorini: the epitome of picture-perfect

With your spirit revived and your camera roll full, it’s time to ferry over to the crown jewel of the Cyclades, Santorini. Spend your days wandering the cobbled streets of Oia, where blue-domed churches peek out from clusters of whitewashed buildings perched on the cliffside. Every corner offers an Instagram-worthy view, but the magic is being there to witness it for yourself.

For a more active take on the island, hike along the caldera from Fira to Oia. The trail takes you through lush vineyards, wildflowers, and jaw-dropping seascapes. When it’s time to relax, make your way to Red Beach, a surreal strip of crimson-hued sand encircled by volcanic cliffs.
