Paros (Greece) 

Paros captures the essence of the Cyclades. Its iconic whitewashed buildings, laid-back atmosphere, and welcoming beaches make for a perfect penultimate day of exploration. Stop by Naoussa fishing village or enjoy a coffee in one of the traditional local kafeneia.

Day 13-16: Santorini 

End your trip in the world-famous Santorini, where volcanic cliffs and captivating views set the stage for your final three nights of relaxation. Wander through the streets of Oia and Fira, where whitewashed structures contrast against the blue domed churches. For an extra-special experience, visit a cliffside winery to sample the island’s renowned Assyrtiko wine while enjoying an unparalleled vantage point of the caldera.
