    The tour director who met me at the Titania hotel was very organized and professional, Thanassis Bourliaskos. My taxi driver was waiting for me at the airport and took me directly to my hotel, the Titania. Beautiful hotel with good buffet breakfast. I would have liked to stop at more tourist sites in Greece. I booked the excursion for Sounion and Temple of Poseiden. Took longer than 1 hour to arrive on the bus. Okay. Visited the Acropolis museum and the Acropolis. So awesome!! Meteora was beautiful inside the monasteries but no pictures inside. Picturesque views outside the monasteries. We visited 2 monasteries. There was a 3 day cruise to Mykonos, Kusadasi with an Ephesus excursion. Mykonos is a beautiful island walking along the shore with lots of shopping. Ephesus is one of the largest archeological sites. Patmos excursion was amazing to visit the cave where St John wrote Revelation in the Bible and also included was St John's monastery. Cruise also included Crete and Santorini. I wish I would have rode the donkeys up and down the mountain. I paid to visit the village which is very crowded with narrow pathways. I had a great time and met some very interesting people. The waiters on the cruise, Celestyl were very kind and courteous. Excellent service!! I would highly recommend this 8 day tour and cruise on the Aegean sea.

    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten September 2024

      Our Athens to Mykonos, Santorini & Crete - 9 days is a fantastic choice. This tour however is seasonal, running April - October, with our last available departure running 9 - 17 October 2024. Alternatively, we could offer our 27 Oct - 9 November Greece Explorer & Cruise which starts in Athens and ends in Santorini after 14 exciting days exploring all that Greece has to offer! Follow in the footsteps of the ancient Greek heroes with this two-week tour which travels from Athens to Santorini, ending with a 4-day cruise around the beautiful Aegean. Along the way, visit the incredible Sanctuary of Apollo in Delphi and ancient Ephesus in Turkey, relax on the sunny beaches of Mykonos and explore the medieval old town in Rhodes.

      Pricing is on the TourRadar website. If you search for our tour names on their site, it should come up. I'm sorry we don't have anything for 6 days though - unfortunately 8 is the shortest we offer that would incorporate what you're after.

    Asked on March 16th, 2024

    I am planning a first time trip to Greece for my mother and me. We are looking to travel in September 2024 and specifically interested in the Athens to Mykonos, Santorini & Crete - 9 days itinerary. What is the typical group size? We are not looking to do a large group tour with big buses. What is the typical age for people who book your tours? My mother is 75 and I am 47. It also looks like there are several hotels listed for each of the stops. Are these examples of hotels that have been booked or do guests have a choice of accommodation?

    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten March 2024

      All of our Greece tours are "large" groups - with a maximum of 45 people. The average being around 35 - 40. With that being said the majority of this tour is independently. You'll be with a group while in Athens doing some sightseeing, and possibly when you're taking the ferry in between the islands - but once you get to the islands you have free time to explore them as you see wish! This is an incredible way to see the islands. You get to stay on them (unlike a cruise ship) and you have the opportunity to explore what you want to see.
