Island Hopping, Summer on the Greek Islands: Mykonos, Santorini, Crete
Description
Welcome to Greece's most famous cosmopolitan islands, a whitewashed paradise in the heart of the Cyclades. The crescent-shaped Santorini Island is its most precious gem. Crete is the largest island in Greece, where you can admire the remnants of brilliant civilizations, explore glorious beaches, impressive mountain escapes, fertile valleys and steep gorges, and become part of the island’s rich gastronomic culture.
TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
Mykonos: set out on a trip to discover the beauties of the island, particularly its sun-kissed beaches.
Chora: It is one of the best examples of Cycladic architecture. Stroll around its narrow marble streets and admire whitewashed houses with colourful doors and window frames, bougainvillaea trees in red bloom and hidden churches.
Santorini: formed by the eruption of the volcano 1600 BC. The sight is the most breathtaking of all Greek islands and perhaps of the world.
Heraklion: the perfect base for exploration, as it is close to two of the most important monuments in Crete: Knossos Palace and Phaistos Palace.
Crete Island: In Crete, you will find the oldest wine-producing area in continuous use on the European continent.
