Island Hopping Tours & Trips
Have you thought about exploring Athens on your first day, sailing to Paros and unwinding on famous beaches, then tasting Paros' local dishes and wines? That’s just one option you can take when hopping around regional islands. Tour Santorini's volcano and hot springs, watch the sunset from a boat near Oia. If you want to go further, how about Indonesia or Thailand? The options are endless!

Our time in both Sri Lanka and Maldives passed too quickly. We loved our driver and sightseeing of wonderful gems of Sri Lanka. Sigiriya was absolutely amazing and worth climbing up. We admired Sri Lankan nature during a safari in Yala and took fantastic pictures of the elephants. Maldives was very relaxing adn a bit active at the same time, the excursions gave us a chance to get closer to marine life and go snorkelling. The only disadvantage of this tour wast that the time passed too quickly....Nevertheless, we recommend both the tour and Paylesstoursindia as a tour operator. Best wished from Germany.

Actually your was very good hitting all the highlights of Sri Lanka .. some places I would have liked to stay longer and some less but that’s the way it goes My driver Ruvin was very good and altered the program to my preference I did miss eating with others in the evenings . ( I had thought I d booked a group tour for just this reason but turned out to be a solo with a driver)

We had a fantastic trip booked through TourRadar with Travel Zone as the operator. All the hotels were excellent in terms of breakfast, amenities, and location, making it easy to explore each destination. The staff at every hotel, especially in Naxos (Argo Boutique Hotel), were wonderful—always cheerful, helpful, and positive, which really enhanced the experience. The only downside was the pool at the Argo Boutique Hotel, where the filter wasn't running and the area lacked a bug net, making it less pleasant to use. All transfers were punctual, and the travel agents who met us at each point were very informative and made the logistics smooth and stress-free. Overall, I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience the Greek islands with comfort and ease.

What our customers ask about Island Hopping Tours & Trips
What are the most popular destinations for island hopping in Greece?
You'll find most travelers heading to Santorini, where you can explore the famous caldera and white buildings perched on cliffs. Naxos is another favorite, with beautiful beaches like Plaka and Agios Prokopios where you can relax in the sun. Mykonos rounds out the top three with its mix of beaches and lively atmosphere. One TourRadar traveler mentions "the hotels were really nice, especially in Naxos with its stunning location overlooking the sea."
What kind of experiences will I have on an island hopping tour?
You'll get to sail through Santorini's caldera on traditional wooden boats, walk up to the Nea Kameni volcano, and take a dip in natural hot springs filled with sulfur and iron. The sunset views from Oia village are a highlight for many visitors. A TourRadar traveler shares, "The sunset cruise in Santorini was unforgettable, with dinner served while anchored near Thirasia Island, followed by watching the sun set over Oia's golden-hued buildings."
Where will I stay during my island hopping tour?
You'll stay in 3 or 4-star hotels like the El Greco Resort in Santorini or the Grotta Hotel in Naxos. Regular rooms come with the basics you need, while upgraded rooms often have better views and extra amenities. A TourRadar traveler notes, "The Mykonos Bay Hotel was our absolute favorite, with beautiful beach views and incredibly friendly staff."
When should I plan my Greek island hopping trip?
Plan your trip between April and October when the weather is nicest, with temperatures between 68°F and 85°F (20°C to 29°C). If you want to avoid crowds and peak prices, skip July and August. A TourRadar traveler suggests "visiting in September when the weather is still warm but the islands are less crowded."
What can I expect from the sailing trips between islands?
You can join half or full-day boat trips, especially around Santorini's volcanic islands. Many people enjoy the Aphrodite cruise, where you'll eat dinner on board while watching the sunset near the caldera. As one TourRadar traveler says, "The wooden boat sunset cruise in Santorini, complete with dinner and local wine, provided stunning views of the volcanic islands and Oia's sunset."
Which island combinations work best for a Greek island hopping tour?
Many travelers start in Athens, then visit Mykonos and Santorini. This route gives you a mix of ancient history and famous island views. Another popular option is Zakynthos, Milos, and Santorini, where you can see Navagio Beach and unique volcanic landscapes. A TourRadar traveler shares, "the hotels were nicely located, offering incredible views of the Aegean sea and helpful staff making the island-hopping experience seamless."
What different activities can I do on each island?
Each island offers something special. In Santorini, you can explore the volcanic caldera. Zakynthos has the Blue Caves for swimming, and you can visit ancient ruins in Delphi. The white rock formations at Sarakiniko Beach in Milos look like you're on the moon, and Ios has peaceful beaches like Magganari. A TourRadar traveler notes: "Each island offered something unique - from Santorini's stunning sunsets viewed from Oia to the crystal-clear waters of Hydra's coves."
