7 day Greek Island hopping itinerary

Day 1

Fly direct from Edinburgh to Athens. Depending on your flight, you may be able to be on a ferry that evening.

Day 2

Arrive in Mykonos and find accommodation for two nights. Meandering the streets, experiencing the night life and getting out to the Southern beaches are what to spend your time on.

Day 3

Mykonos; if you’re interested in a cultural day trip join a boat tour to the Island of Delos – the Island that in 3000BC was a model for us today.

Day 4

Take the ferry to Naxos for an upbeat yet relaxed at the same time.  Rent a motor scooter and head to Zas mountain for completely unexpected views in this group of Islands. Return to Naxos Town via Melanes for an incredible meal at one of the family tavernas.

Day 5

Arrive in Paros and find accommodation for two nights in Parikia or press on to classy Naoussa. Sitting harbourside for dinner in a traditional fishing village is a must then head to Santa Maria Surfing Beach (whether you like windsurfing or not). Ps. It’s definitely close enough if you’ve decided to rent a scooter otherwise take the bus.

Day 6

Antiparos has escaped mass tourism so the Island has a sustainable tourism feel to it.

Day 7

Return to Piraeus and head to Athens Airport.
