Could you please let me know the best way to arrange a half-day trip to Naxos while we're in Paros on September 6? Will my Trip Manager be able to guide me on where to purchase ferry tickets and how to coordinate timing to get back?

We highly recommend coordinating with your Trip Manager before arranging any tickets or visits to places not included in the tour itinerary. Your Trip Manager will send a Welcome Email approximately seven days before your trip begins. You'll be able to connect with them then or once the tour starts to discuss any optional plans like your visit to Naxos.

Could you please confirm how many nights are included in Mykonos and Santorini as part of the tour package? Also, if I decide to book my own accommodations for those nights instead, would the overall cost of the tour be adjusted accordingly, or would it remain the same?

This tour includes two nights on the island of Mykonos and three nights in Santorini as part of the package. Regrettably, it is not possible to arrange your own accommodations during the tour, as these stays are already included.

I am interested in the delve into Italy tour and the Greek Island hopping ones as well, but they appear to be on the same dates - are there options to be able to do both in September?

May we know the title of the trip you prefer to join, for us to verify the availability?

We are eager to book this trip. Just had a couple questions on payments and if there's anyway to accommodate the payment plan so we can pay more proficiently. We were wondering if it's possible to split the payments into 4 increments until the 15th of April.

Regarding your request for an installment payment plan, we can only offer two options: you can either make a deposit payment followed by the full payment by the 17th of March, or simply make the full payment. At the time of booking, we offer several flexible payment plans that can help ease the process. Once you pay the deposit to secure your booking, you have the freedom to make subsequent payments at your convenience directly through your TourRadar account. Just keep in mind that there's a minimum payment amount of 300 USD.

Is insurance required for the trip?

Comprehensive travel insurance is mandatory for all trips with Contiki.

What is the age range for this tour?

The age range for this tour is 18-35 years old.

What happens if I miss the group meeting?

If you miss the group meeting, contact us as soon as possible for instructions on how to proceed.

How early should I arrive in Athens before the tour starts?

It's recommended to arrive at least a few hours before the kick-off meeting which is at 6 PM on Day 1.

Are transfers included in the tour price?

Transfers are not included, and you would need to arrange them independently.

When will I receive my final travel documents?

Travel documents will be sent approximately 21 days prior to departure.

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.Show more

Reply from: Contiki
Thank you for sharing your time away in Greece. We hope that during your adventure exploring magical Mykonos, perky Paros and saucy Santorini that you were able to marvel at the natural and human-made architecture, from coves to cobblestones. We are sorry you felt that the accommodation in Santorini was too far from the main attraction, making it difficult for you to explore and experience the main attraction as much as you would have liked. Having your valuable feedback assists our relevant departments relating to the accommodation and they will be investigating to establish whether these places are still the best options for our trips. Overall, we hope you had a memorable trip and that you will be planning your next trip with us.
