What our customers ask about Island Hopping Tours & Trips in Greek Islands
When is the best time to go island hopping in the Greek Islands?
For Greek Island hopping the period between May and September offers reliable weather and good connections. July and August see the biggest crowds while May and June bring pleasant temperatures and moderate visitor numbers. The Cyclades islands including Mykonos and Santorini provide excellent swimming conditions during these months. Hotels like Poseidon in Athens note that September brings a sweet spot with warm seas fewer tourists and clear skies. One TourRadar traveler notes: "We went in September and it was perfect - not too crowded but still amazing weather for swimming and exploring the islands."
What's the typical duration of a Greek Island hopping tour?
Greek Island hopping tours typically span 5 to 11 days covering key destinations like Athens Mykonos Santorini Paros and Naxos. The 11-day format offered by companies like Travel Zone allows visitors to spend 2 nights on each island giving enough time to explore local culture beaches and cuisine. According to a TourRadar traveler: "The 11-day format was perfect - we had enough time to really experience each island's unique character without feeling rushed with 2 nights in each destination being ideal."
How do you travel between the Greek Islands on these tours?
Greek island connections rely on a network of high-speed and regular ferries. Travel times range from 2 to 6 hours with the Athens to Mykonos route taking 4-6 hours and Mykonos to Santorini averaging 2-4 hours. Properties like Belle Etoile Villas in Santorini offer easy port access for smooth transitions. As noted by a TourRadar traveler: "The ferry transfers were seamless with comfortable seating and beautiful views along the way. Having all the tickets pre-arranged made island hopping stress-free."
What type of accommodation can I expect on island hopping tours?
Tour accommodations feature 3 to 4-star hotels such as Olia Hotel in Mykonos Belle Etoile Villas in Santorini and Arion Hotel in Athens. Most properties include breakfast and sit near beaches or town centers for easy exploration. As one TourRadar traveler mentions: "The hotels exceeded our expectations with amazing locations and views. The Grotta Hotel in Naxos was particularly memorable with its stunning sunset vistas and excellent service."
What are the must-see islands for first-time visitors?
First-time visitors should focus on the central Cyclades: Mykonos Santorini and either Paros or Naxos. Each island offers distinct experiences from Mykonos's windmills and nightlife to Santorini's volcano views and Oia sunsets. Properties like Grotta Hotel showcase traditional Greek architecture. A TourRadar traveler shares: "The combination of Mykonos's energy Santorini's dramatic views and Naxos's authentic Greek charm made for the perfect introduction to the Greek Islands."
How much spending money should I budget for additional expenses?
Plan for 50-70 USD daily to cover meals activities and shopping beyond tour inclusions. Factor in the Climate Resilience Tax (1.50-3.00 EUR per room nightly) and optional tours like the Delos excursion from Mykonos (55 USD). A TourRadar traveler suggests: "Besides included expenses we spent about 60 USD per day on meals and activities plus some extra for shopping and optional tours like the amazing Delos excursion."
