About This Tour

A 10-day autumn-season circuit from Athens to Mykonos, Santorini, and Crete by high-speed ferry and domestic flight, built around the smaller shoulder-season crowds at the Acropolis and the islands. The entire trip stays within Greece, moving from Athens to Mykonos, Santorini, and Heraklion (Crete) by high-speed ferry, with a domestic flight back to Athens at the end.
