Greek Island Hopping

Mykonos
Explore an archaeological site
The rich and long history of Greece is worldwide famous. Every destination in Greece has an archaeological site, a significant museum or an ancient temple to explore. Walk on the footsteps of ancient heroes and feel the sacred aura of places that date back 3,000 years ago.

Sunset in Santorini
There is nothing more romantic than catching the sun sinking into the sea with your other half while its pink reflection makes the whitewashed houses of Oia or Fira Santorini a breathtaking scenery. It is truly an unforgettable picture you will have in your mind. Our suggestion: don't take so many photos, just put your camera aside and enjoy the gorgeous spectacle.

Ancient theatre performance
Don't miss out to watch a theatre performance in the place it was born. In Greece, there are many ancient theatres, such as in Epidavros or Dodoni, where theatre performances of ancient dramas take place. You can watch famous works, such as Antigone of Sophocles or Medea of Euripides in the theatre they were played for the first time.
Rent a boat
If you want to discover hidden beaches and coves, renting a boat and sailing in the Aegean or Ionian Sea is a perfect way to swim in turquoise waters and feel like an explorer, who visits inaccessible caves and tiny islands with virgin beauty.
Water sports
The water sports facilities in Greek islands such as Rhodes, Zakynthos, Crete and Mykonos are fully organised and amazing. Plus, the waters are calm, and they don't include dangerous species or sharks. Wind- and kite surf are ideal in the Cyclades with the constantly blowing strong wind, while the seabed in islands, like Corfu, Amorgos and Kalymnos, is perfect for scuba-diving.

Unspoiled destinations
In Greece, you can find many unspoiled destinations. Untouched islands, like Arkioi, Sikinos, Gavdos and Schinoussa are waiting those, who seek something different, a heaven away from mass tourism with total peace and privacy. In these places, the authentic hospitality of Greek people will impress you and make you feel like home.
Hiking on a volcano
Did you know that Greece has many volcanoes? Santorini is not the only volcanic island. Milos and Nisyros, which has an active volcano, are perfect destinations away from the crowds to live the adventure of hiking on a volcano.
Live stage with Greek music
The most popular live stages in Greece are bouzoukia, the nightclubs that feature traditional Greek music. They typically have a raised stage, where singers, dancers and musicians perform. The best tables are immediately adjacent to the stage and are reserved by rich and famous customers. Despite the belief that plate-smashing is a widespread Greek custom, today, flowers -and not plates- are thrown en masse on the feet of the artists.
Souvlaki
Souvlaki is a legend all over the world. It is delicious, nutritious and cheap. Chicken or pork with tomato, onions, French fries and tzatziki sauce wrapped in pita. You can find a tavern with souvlaki literally everywhere in Greece. Just taste it and take a walk while eating it. You will adore it, but don't end up eating it every day, like all tourists in Greece do. Greek cuisine has many other dishes that are worth trying.
