Itinerary

100% customisable for you

This morning you will leave the UK and head to the first stop on your island-hopping adventure: Crete. Upon arrival at Heraklion airport, collect your hire car and drive to your first hotel. Once you're all settled in, spend the rest of the day soaking up the sun or going for a dip in the pool.

After an early breakfast this morning, drive to Heraklion, drop your hire car back at the airport and catch a two to two-and-a-half-hour ferry across the Aegean Sea to Santorini. Once back on dry land you will be privately transferred to your next hotel. This evening head out on a sunset catamaran cruise to see Santorini’s striking caldera from the water, accompanied by snacks and drinks. For dinner, our Concierge can recommend the best restaurant in town.

After breakfast this morning you will be privately transferred to the port to catch the ferry to Mykonos. After a private transfer, you will have the rest of the afternoon to settle into your hotel and get your bearings before heading out this evening to enjoy some of Mykonos' legendary nightlife - consult our Concierge and detailed destination Dossier for our favourite spots for dinner, drinks and dancing.

This morning you will visit Delos - a tiny, uninhabited island off Mykonos - with an expert guide. Now under the protection of Greece's Ministry of Culture, Ancient Greeks believed it was the birthplace to Artemis, goddess of the hunt, and her twin brother Apollo, god of healing and medicine. With your guide, you will explore the ruins on the island and learn about its history - from birthplace of deities to contested colony. The island was abandoned in the sixth century BC and has since been well preserved. There are some beautiful mosaics and epigraphs, which makes it a pretty good guide to how people lived in antiquity.
