This is your chance to explore two Greek islands in depth, and in consummate style. It all begins in Mykonos, where a luxury hotel stay and a guided tour of the ancient wonders of Delos will see you take in two very different sides of this bohemian gem. It’s then on to Santorini for more five-star indulgence, coupled with the chance to take in the island’s volcanic wonders, showcased in crater-rim hikes and hot spring soaks. You’ll also have plenty of free time to take in some of the island’s other highlights, from mountain villages to world-famous sunset views.

Days 2 – 3

Exploring Mykonos

Spend a today in the company of an expert guide on a small-group tour, hopping across the sea in a traditional Caique to take in the sights of nearby Delos. As the mythical birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most important archaeological site in Greece. Your guide will help you uncover the secrets of these sprawling ruins, bringing them to life as the spectacular city that was once one of the most important in the ancient world. At the end of the day’s tour, you’ll return to your hotel, perhaps heading to the upper pool bar for a sunset cocktail. The next day is free for you to explore the island at your own pace.

Day 4

Mykonos to Santorini

A morning transfer will see you to the port where you’ll catch the ferry to Santorini. Home to glorious sunsets, emblematic whitewashed towns and spectacular volcanic scenery, this is Greece at its iconic best. On arrival, you’ll be met for a private transfer to the Santo Pure Oia Suites Santorini. Built into the steep hillside, you’ll be treated to glorious views of Oia’s whitewashed jumble, as well as the iconic caldera which stands, part-submerged, amid the azure waters of the Aegean Sea.

Day 5

Volcanic Santorini

Today you’ll join a local guide who’ll take you on a small-group tour through the history of volcanic Santorini. It all begins with a transfer to the port where you’ll take a traditional caique boat for the short trip to Nea Kameni – the volcano of Santorini. Take the chance to climb to the crater rim of this still-active yet dormant volcano, pausing to admire the remarkable views before continuing on to the small islet of Palea Kameni, formed through the centuries by a series of volcanic eruptions. Famed for its healing hot springs, you’ll have time for a soak in the mineral-rich waters.

Your afternoon is then given over to exploring the quiet island of Thirassia, all prettily painted houses and gorgeous, uncrowded beaches, and Oia with its labyrinthine lanes framed by Venetian houses, windmills and small cave homes. It’s the perfect spot to take in one of Santorini’s famed sunsets before returning to your hotel.
