Greek Islands Tours & Trips
Summer in Greece goes together like salt and pepper. The Greek Islands are a dream come true, from Santorini’s blue-domed churches, to Mykonos’ glittering beaches, Athens’ jaw-dropping history, and Crete’s ancient Palace of Knossos. The sunsets are something else, the food is mouthwatering, and the locals are keen to tell you their stories. Live your own Mamma Mia moment!

The tours were the absolute highlight of this trip. Our tour guides Maria and Darrel were both excellent. The breakfast and supper at the Central Hersonissos hotel were also excellent. The beds were hard for us, but you can ask for a topper for them, which made them very comfortable. I would highly recommend this trip, and if you get the same tour guides we did, you are in for a treat! They are both a wealth of information, and Darrel, who did our Land Rover trip, is charming, incredibly knowledgeable and full of dad jokes!
The Labyrinth of CreteThe bus pick up was very inconvenient as we had to walk 12 minutes to and from the pick up point. Would have loved to stay at Creta Maris. The good side is the breakfast and dinner at the Hersonisos Maris. It wascvery helpful!!!
Treasures of CreteWe usually plan our own trips, but this time we wanted something hassle-free, and it was the best decision. Everything was so smooth! The hotel staff were friendly and welcoming, and we really liked the guided tour in Naxos. Thank you for such a beautiful experience.

Best time to visit Greek Islands
- Summer 2026
Summer tours balance water activities with early morning and evening cultural visits to avoid the midday heat. The best combinations run through Mykonos, Santorini and also Crete, mixing beach time with ancient palace visits and village exploration. Our travelers particularly value the Spinalonga island visits - you'll discover its fascinating past as a Venetian fortress and former leper colony. Many trips include off-road drives through central Crete's olive groves to Zeus' cave, stopping at family farms for cheese-making demos and also wine tasting. The Santorini volcano cruises are always popular, especially when timed with Oia's sunset views.
- August 2026 popular 398 tours
- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall creates ideal conditions for longer island stays, with September and October offering warm seas without summer crowds. Our most popular autumn tours mix Athens' cultural sites with longer visits to Mykonos and also Santorini. The sailing trips get fantastic reviews this time of year - you explore hidden coves and quiet beaches with perfect swimming and snorkeling temperatures. Several tours include special seasonal experiences like helping with grape harvests in Santorini's volcanic vineyards and joining local village festivals. Our travelers really enjoy cultural walks through Mykonos' Little Venice and along Santorini's caldera paths, where guides time everything perfectly for those golden autumn sunsets.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter brings a different side to island hopping that many of our experienced travelers really like. Several good tours connect Athens, Santorini and Crete from December through February - it's perfect timing to explore the Acropolis and ancient sites without the usual crowds. You'll find excellent hotel deals this time of year, especially in places like Gouves and Chersonissos where 4-star stays offer great comfort and value. While beach activities slow down, our customers tell us they love having space to dive into local life - joining cooking classes, visiting olive farms and really getting to know traditional villages. Just note that some Santorini volcano tours don't run in winter, but you'll catch those famous Oia sunsets with way fewer people around.

- Spring 2027
Spring really opens up the Greek Islands, with April and May giving you perfect weather for mixing culture and outdoor activities. The multi-island trips connecting Mykonos, Paros, Naxos and also Santorini are particularly good as the water warms up. Our travelers tell us they love spring hiking through Naxian villages, meeting locals who are out harvesting herbs and preparing traditional dishes. Many tours start with guided walks through Athens' ancient sites and markets before heading out to the islands. Semi-private options work really well now - you get personal attention at historic sites while sharing scenic ferry rides with just a small group.
