11 Day Greece Itinerary, incl. Athens and Greek Islands
The Greek islands come alive in this 11-day tour across 3 iconic locations: 4 nights in historic Athens (including arrival/departure), 3 nights in Mykonos with a local farm visit, and 3 nights in Santorini featuring a volcano cruise. High-speed ferries provide seamless island connections, with door-to-door transfers included.
- Days 1-3
Athens
Start your Greek journey with three nights in Athens. Book afternoon flights to avoid morning traffic when arriving at Athens International Airport. The Plaka neighborhood is a perfect base for exploring major attractions. On day 2, explore the city on your own. Visit the Monastiraki flea market early in the morning before the crowds arrive. One traveler shared: "The best way to experience Athens is getting lost in the little streets of Plaka, stopping for coffee at local cafes away from the tourist spots." Day 3 starts with a guided tour of the Acropolis and main archaeological sites. Arrive at the Acropolis by 8:30 AM to beat the heat and crowds. You'll visit the Panathinaiko Stadium, Temple of Zeus, and Acropolis Museum. Bring sturdy shoes since the marble steps can be slippery.
- Days 4-6
Mykonos
Take a ferry from Piraeus port to Mykonos (4-6 hours). High-speed ferries are faster but may cancel in rough weather. Reserved airline-style seats offer more comfort if you want to upgrade. Walk through Mykonos Town to see the famous windmills and white lanes. Take a guided tour of the medieval town and visit the Mykonian Farm in Ano Mera village. A visitor noted: "The farm visit was unexpectedly wonderful - we learned about local agriculture while enjoying raki and traditional snacks in a beautiful setting." Use your free day to find secluded beaches. Skip crowded Paradise Beach and head to quieter Agios Sostis. Buses run regularly but taxis are scarce, so book your return trips ahead of time.
- Days 7-9
Santorini
Travel to Santorini by ferry (2-4 hours). Sit on the port side for amazing caldera views as you arrive. Stay in Imerovigli to enjoy caldera views without Oia's tourist crowds. Take a boat tour to the volcano and hot springs. Be ready for a 20-minute uphill walk to the crater. The mud baths are unique but water temperatures vary. One visitor advised: "Bring water shoes for the hot springs - the volcanic rocks are sharp and the sulfur can stain swimsuits." Spend a full day in Oia seeing blue-domed churches and sunset spots. Book a view restaurant well in advance for sunset since viewpoints get packed. Visit Akrotiri archaeological site at 8 AM opening to avoid crowds.
- Days 10-11
Return to Athens
Return to Athens by ferry (4-6 hours) for your final night. Shop at Monastiraki Flea Market or enjoy dinner with Acropolis views from a rooftop restaurant. Plan extra time to reach the airport. The X95 bus from Syntagma Square takes 45-60 minutes depending on traffic.
