What people love about Aegean Islands Tours
Irene was very professional and attentive to us and our itinerary. She acted quickly when there were unexpected issues so that our vacation was maintained at the highest of quality and comfort. Her contacts at each junction were informative and the transfers were excellent as well, especially Petros who helped us above and beyond.
Greek Island Hopping | Semi guided Tour | 11 Days
An open mind and adventurous spirit are needed for this trip. If you have that and love the sea, this is a trip of a lifetime. This isn't a luxury sailing trip, this is real sailing, with cramped accommodations. But you get to be outside, sailing and exploring the islands, eating the best meals, and swimming in beautiful private bays.

Most popular destinations in Aegean Islands
The caldera views and whitewashed villages of Santorini set up an incredible scene for our most popular tours. Our travelers tell us they love the volcano walks - you'll step across dark volcanic rocks as guides share stories about the island's dramatic geological past. The caldera sunset cruises have really taken off, where you'll sail by red and white beaches, take a dip in thermal springs and watch the sun sink into the Aegean. Local wines paired with Greek dishes add so much to the experience, and many guests tell us the food tastings and winery visits turn out to be unexpected favorites of their trip. March-April or October-November work really well for visits - you'll find fewer people around and the weather stays just right for hiking and outdoor activities. The morning tours are particularly good for clear views and comfortable temperatures while exploring the volcanic landscape.

Travel Aegean Islands your way
Our sailing experiences through the Cyclades consistently rank among our most popular ways to explore the Aegean Islands. These week-long voyages typically start from either Santorini or Mykonos, with routes that take in the less-visited gems like Amorgos, Folegandros and also the Small Cyclades. Our customers particularly love the intimate setting of 8-12 travelers per yacht, with many highlighting how their skippers went above and beyond - from helping catch sea urchins to arranging authentic local dinners in each port. The yachts make daily swimming stops in secluded bays, while evenings are spent exploring traditional villages or enjoying sunset views from tavernas. Several itineraries include special touches like visiting Naxos's ancient temples, discovering Syros's neo-classical architecture and exploring Ios's hidden beaches. What makes these trips special is the flexibility - skippers adjust routes based on weather and group interests, and you'll often find yourself in tiny harbors where larger cruise ships can't dock.
See all Sailing toursOur most successful Greek island tours run for 11 days and take you through Mykonos, Paros, Naxos and finally Santorini, with stays in quality hotels along the way. The volcanic island cruise in Santorini is a real highlight - you'll walk the crater's edge and learn what makes this geology so special. There's plenty of time built in to experience Mykonos' buzzing nightlife, find your perfect spot on Naxos' long beaches and get lost in Paros' stone-lined streets. Our guides Irene and Effie really make these trips come alive; they're pros at handling any changes and love sharing their favorite local spots with our groups.

The flexibility works really well - you can shift departure times around and add extras like a Caldera cruise with BBQ lunch in Santorini if you fancy it. Our customers often mention how much they value having their own drivers for transfers and personal guides at each site. Some trips include nice touches like private wine and olive oil tastings in Mykonos or quiet sunset spots in Oia that most visitors never find. People particularly appreciate having a local contact on speed dial if ferry schedules change or plans need tweaking.

Our popular 3-day Greek island tours connect Mykonos and Santorini by ferry - perfect for travelers short on time but wanting to see both islands. You'll spend time wandering through Mykonos' white alleyways and the charming Little Venice area, plus you can join wine and olive tastings at local producers. Moving to Santorini, our groups really enjoy the caldera boat trip that stops at volcanic hot springs and quiet beaches. The onboard BBQ lunch is always a highlight according to our customers. These quick tours work well because they mix guided activities with free exploring time, and our local team handles all the ferry details.

Our week-long tours kick off in Athens before diving into proper island time in Mykonos and Santorini. Most travelers tell us 2-3 nights per island hits the sweet spot. You'll start with walks through Athens' ancient sites, then hop to Mykonos where you can discover tucked-away beaches and family-run tavernas. The Santorini portion includes visits to Oia village, tastings at small vineyards and optional sailing around the caldera. Our customers like having their hotels locked in while keeping their daily schedule flexible - join the group activities or go solo, it's up to you.

Athens, Paros, Ios, Santorini
For a real taste of Greek island life, our 10-day journeys give you time to properly settle in. You'll spend 3-4 nights in each spot, moving from Athens to Mykonos and finally Santorini. These longer tours include local cultural experiences - visiting traditional wine cellars called 'canavas', exploring the ancient Akrotiri site and finding time for swims at volcanic beaches. Our travelers often mention how much they value having enough days to really get to know each place. With semi-private transfers throughout, island-hopping feels smooth and easy according to our customers.

Best time to visit Aegean Islands
- Spring 2025
Spring brings perfect conditions for exploring the Greek islands, with moderate temperatures and smaller crowds. Our most popular springtime tours combine Athens sightseeing with island hopping across Mykonos, Naxos and also Santorini. The 11-day premium trips include guided walks through Athens' ancient sites and markets, followed by comfortable ferry journeys between islands. Our travelers particularly enjoy having local experts show them around places like the organic vineyards in Santorini where they taste wines and collect herbs. The village tours in Naxos are consistently rated highly - you'll meet local families, try traditional cooking and learn about island life away from tourist zones. For independent travelers, the self-guided options work well in spring, with reliable transfers and carefully selected hotels that let you explore at your own pace.

- Summer 2025
Summer's the perfect time for our yacht tours - small groups of 8-12 people get to discover quiet harbors and hidden spots you just can't reach by land. The skippers know exactly which secluded coves to visit and when to drop anchor near Santorini's volcano for a swim in the mineral-rich waters. Our land tours make the most of those long summer days by hitting major sites early, then mixing in afternoon swims and evening walks through charming villages. Many of our guests go for the premium packages - they love the special touches like private sunset picnics in Oia and hands-on cooking sessions using fresh ingredients from Naxos' local gardens.

- Fall / Autumn 2025
Fall lets you really dig into what makes the Greek islands special. The ferries are quieter, the weather's just right for walking and our island-hopping circuits run smoothly through October. You'll get to explore Paros' mountain villages and Naxos' ancient temples without bumping into summer crowds. This time of year, our guides connect you with local festivals and food producers - you might find yourself tasting fresh olive oil or joining in traditional music evenings. The volcanic tours in Santorini work particularly well in autumn; the air's clear for crater walks and the temperature's perfect for visiting the hot springs. Our photography tours time everything around the soft autumn light, which really brings out the best in those classic Greek island views.
