Hop from Crete to Santorini and beyond on an irresistible Aegean island escape - includes breakfast, flights, plus shared transfers and ferries

Embark on a captivating loop through the South Aegean, starting and ending on the largest of the Greek Islands, Crete. This journey balances the cosmopolitan allure of Santorini, with its iconic caldera views and sun-drenched cliffs, against the quiet, lesser-known paradise of Folegandros. Here, you’re free to escape the crowds and wander through one of the most beautiful hilltop villages in the Cyclades, discovering a slower, more authentic side of Greek island life at your own leisure.

For those opting for the 10 or 14-night escape, the adventure deepens with a stay on the volcanic, mineral-rich island of Milos. Nicknamed the "Island of Colours," Milos offers a surreal coastline of white lunar rocks and emerald waters, perfect for swimming and afternoon strolls. With your ferry transfers all taken care of, you can hop from one paradise to the next with ease, arriving ready to taste fresh, local flavours and bask in the crystal-clear bays of each destination.
