From Athens, discover the small hidden paradises of the Aegean Sea - includes breakfast, flights, shared transfers and ferry rides
While Greece is known for its iconic islands like Santorini and Mykonos, its vast collection of islands also hides countless lesser-known holiday paradises - get ready to explore some of these dreamy islands and enjoy an unforgettable escape. You will visit Serifos and Milos, two beautiful island pearls in the west of the Cyclades, both brimming with their own individual charm and character. Depending on your chosen itinerary, you will also get to know Kythnos with its tranquil scenery, thermal springs, and authentic local gems.
Athens forms the sun-soaked framework of your trip: Before you board your ferry to Serifos or Kythnos, you will first explore the lively Greek capital's legendary sights, cosy taverns and modern flair - and return for your final night before departure. In contrast, the tranquil Cyclades islands offer a relaxed and peaceful experience with plenty of opportunities for hiking, swimming, sailing, and leisurely enjoyment. A special highlight: Milos, the volcanic 'Island of Colours', where you can expect hot springs and the moon-like coastal landscape of Sarakiniko. Sounds like the perfect holiday combination for you? Then don't hesitate to embark on this enchanting Greek Islands experience!
