Island hopping
Luxury Greek Island Hopping
Island hopping is the best way to see Greece, and the hardest to plan well. Ferry timetables change every season, some islands connect easily and others don’t, and the wrong order can cost you a day at sea. Our travel designers in Athens plan luxury island-hopping trips with the right islands, the right hotels and the smoothest connections, from fast boats to private yachts and helicopters.
Classic island-hopping routes
Athens, Mykonos and Santorini
The first-timer’s classic: two or three nights in Athens, then Mykonos for beaches and nightlife, and Santorini for the caldera and sunsets. Fast ferries link the two islands in a few hours.
The quieter Cyclades
Paros, Naxos and Antiparos are close together and full of villages, long beaches and good tavernas. Add Milos for its coastline, best seen by boat.
The Ionian islands
Green and sheltered, the Ionian islands are ideal for families and sailing: Corfu, Paxos, Lefkada and Kefalonia.
The Dodecanese
Rhodes for its medieval old town, Patmos for its monasteries and calm, and Symi for its colourful harbour.
How we make it effortless
- Smart routing: we check seasonal ferry schedules and build the order around direct connections.
- Private transfers: drivers meet you at every port and airport, and luggage is handled for you.
- Faster options: premium seats on fast ferries, private speedboats, helicopters and crewed yachts.
- The right stay on each island: boutique hotels, five-star resorts or private villas.
- 24/7 support: if weather affects a ferry, your travel designer rebooks and adjusts the plan.
How many islands and how long?
As a rule of thumb, plan at least three nights per island so you have two full days on each. Ten days suit Athens plus two islands, and two weeks suit three or four. Read our island-hopping basics for more tips.
Best time for island hopping
June and September offer warm sea, frequent ferries and fewer crowds. In July and August the meltemi wind can make crossings rougher in the Cyclades, which we factor into the plan.
