What people love about Greek Islands Tours for Young Adults
- Greek Island Hopping (Standard)
My experience with the Greek Island Hopping Tour was amazing! I liked having the freedom to do excursions (which were all amazing), or have the day to myself. Ellen was an amazing guide and ensured everything went smoothly. Would definitely do another Contiki in the future!
- Athens to Santorini Island Hopping (Plus)
The tour was a nice pace, 2 days on each island. The optional extras were not anything too exciting, I only did 2, sailing in paros and winery in Santorini which is really enjoyed both and recommended. Found the hotels to be all good except Santorini, the hotel in Santorini was far from the main attractions and did not allow for easy access to the main cities and not worth it for the price of the tour. This tour allowed for a lot of free time to do what you wanted which was nice.

Our tour guide Kostas deserves to be highlighted in this review. He was meticulous with our trip details and beyond accommodating with the wellbeing of each and every person on tour. He catered to each demographic, ranging from 21 to 78 yrs old. Families, couples and singles, you name it, he had it covered. He is kind hearted, diligent and created an environment of friendship. Our group chat is still active and it’s been over a month since we were on tour. Kostas took us to explore locally owned restaurants, enabling us to experience Greece authentically. For those of us that value the perfect Instagram shot, Kostas took us to the best hidden gems (with no wait queues). On our “free days” he recommended sights and made sure he was available if we got lost and needed assistance. Kostas was extremely informative of Greek culture, cuisine and made this trip so enriching. My family and I can’t thank you enough.
