Corfu to Santorini

Itinerary

Days 1-2 Corfu

This romantic island is the perfect launch pad for an exploration of the Ionian islands and the Cyclades, and a great place to get active - hiking, sailing, diving, paragliding and cycling are all on offer for the energetically inclined. Get a taste of traditional Greek cuisine after an introduction to the country's fine beaches.

Days 3-4 Parga

Peaceful Parga is a great place to relax, with its very own castle, and pristine coastline. The nearby ruins of Nekromanteio are home to a creepy crypt, which is worth exploring for the atmosphere alone. Otherwise, seek out a secluded beach on nearby Antipaxos.

Days 5-6 Kefalonia

Party up a storm in a Argostoli, the capital of Kefalonia, an island famed for its spectacular caves and majestic mountains.

Days 7-8 Athens

There's time to explore the ancient Acropolis, and the original Olympic stadium. Otherwise, just kick back and drink an ouzo or two.

Days 9-10 Tinos

Follow the footpaths of Tinos through small villages, watching out for the isolated monuments and natural features that dot the scenery.

Days 11-12 Mykonos

Renowned for its wild all-night parties, Mykonos is full of funky bars and pubs. In the daytime, take a break on some of Europe’s best beaches. Or head to the port of Delos, which according to Greek mythology is the birthplace of Apollo and home of the Gods.

Days 13-15 Santorini

Located on the edges of an enormous caldera, Santorini is famed for its pretty whitewashed buildings and black sand beaches. Marvel at ancient Minoan ruins on the island of Akrotiri or feast on fresh seafood, before joining locals and tourists alike to watch the sun go down.
