AMAZING EXPERIENCE
Not only was I fortunate enough to be put in a group with awesome people but the cherry on top of the cake was our group leader! They made the the whole trip fantastic and is also one of the best people I’ve ever met. The whole experience was breathtaking and so much fun. I am so grateful to have go on this adventure with such great people and I will never forget our time together.

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE!
What can I say! A jam packed trip with a bit of everything, giving a wholesome taste of the Greek islands with too many laughs along the way. Sightseeing during the day and going out at night was the perfect structure for the tour, especially having done it all with the group where everyone felt included. I’d also like to specifically mention my tour manager. She was not only a wealth of knowledge in regard to the islands and the Greek culture but also went above and beyond to help us all and make sure we were ok at all times and gave us all the opportunity to have as much fun as possible. She was so warm and approachable which made everyone feel comfortable - overall, Sof couldn’t have conducted herself better.

WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE
This was the first tour I’ve done in a few years and I was so thrilled by this experience. We had amazing dinners at lovely restaurants with beautiful scenery and views and the food was unbelievable. The tour manager made this experience what is was! Local food recommendations, dishes, options or activities (definitely worth all of them), stores, (jewellery personally for me), variety of bars and incredible views throughout the entire Greek Islands. The tour is very inclusive, we had an amazing group of people and some of the places/restaurants and clubs wouldn’t have been possible without the tour guide. A truly well planned and managed trip with an incredible leader.

FAQ's

Athens has an international airport that many low cost European and International carriers service. Flights are not included in the Greek Island Hopping Tour.

The tour officially starts at 3.30pm with the Welcome Meeting at Selina Theatrou Athens on the first day. You can check-in to the hotel any time during this day. Just have in mind that your room might not be ready until after 3pm. The tour ends back at the Selina Theatrou Athens where you spend the last night of the tour which will finish when you check-out of the hotel at 11.00am the following day. Due to the possibility of delays to the ferry, we strongly recommend against booking onward travel on the night you return to Athens (day 10 of the tour).

The tour officially starts at 4:30pm with the Welcome Meeting at Grande Murano Hotel on the first day. You can check-in to your accommodation at any time during this day. Just have in mind that your room might be ready after 2pm. The tour ends at check out from Paradise Beach Club (Mykonos) at 10.00am.

A basic continental breakfast is included every morning with your Greek Island Hopping tour. Lunch, dinner and snacks are not included, as this is another way we save on costs by allowing you to spend as much as you like on food and drinks, and try authentic local cuisine. Your friendly tour manager will of course recommend places to eat and drink!

We offer two accommodation options on our Greek Island Hopping Tours.

Shared, dorm-style accommodation is a standard inclusion on our tours, which sees up to 5 people of mixed genders sharing a dorm. Due to capacity restrictions, accommodation partners may occasionally allocate Private Twin Rooms to guests that have booked shared accommodation, however, this is not guaranteed and is out of Med Experience’s control.

For guests who would prefer the privacy of a private room, there is the option of upgrading to a Private Twin Room for an additional cost. Private Twin Rooms are available for 2 guests booking a twin-shared room. If you’re a solo traveller and would like to book a Private Twin Room, please contact our Sales Team to check availability and pricing.

To view our accommodation partners, images and facilities, visit our blog here.

*Please note: accommodation is subject to change. In the event of a change in accommodation provider, alternative accommodation will be provided of the same or higher standard.

The tours are designed for 18-39 year old travellers, so a mixture of this age range will be on the tour with you. We find that most of our clients are a mix of couples, groups and solo travellers. All travellers must be 18 years of age when the tour commences.

We book the most convenient ferries as close to departure as possible to ensure you are getting the best available ferry, and to take into consideration any foreseeable strikes or disruptions! Using a combination of ferries and high speed catamarans, we select the best ferries to match the check-in time at your accommodation, ensuring you have more time to explore each destination. Once at your destination we arrange all transfers between the ports and accommodation.

The length of the ferry will vary depending on availability and the destination, ranging from 1 - 7 hours. We recommend bringing a good book or utilising the onboard wi-fi on some of the longer journeys.

If you’re joining us on an 11 day tour, you will arrive at Athens International Airport. From Athens International Airport, you can take the Blue line Metro directly to Monastiraki station. Selina Hotel is located a 7 minute walk from Monastiraki Station.

If you’re joining us on a 9 day day tour, you will start your tour in Santorini. If you are arriving by ferry, there are taxis which will take you to Grande Murano Hotel when you arrive in port. To get to your accommodation from Thira Airport, the cheapest way is to travel by bus to Fira Town and then walk for approximately 8 minutes.

We are a small family-owned and operated company that’s highest priority is you, our guests! We have established relationships with local suppliers so you are receiving an authentic Greek experience. We also take care of all the work for you, so unlike other Greek Island tours which require you to book your own rooms or sleep in tents, all our accommodations are in 2 and 3 star hostels and hotels which provide air conditioning and comfort during those warm summer evenings in Greece. We also arrange all of your ferry tickets, removing the risk of cancellations, strikes and inclement weather ruining your holidays.

Our Greek island Hopping Tour is not a cruise, you travel between the islands via public ferries and stay in hostels or small hotels on each island and on the mainland.

We recommend a starting budget of €60 per person, per day to cover meals. If you would like to participate in additional excursions, or party in the evenings, we would suggest allowing additional budget. Greece uses the Euro and is a part of the European Union as well as the Schengen region. There are plenty of ATM’s in Greece to get cash out as well as exchange offices.

While transfers between the ferry port and accommodation are included, it's important to note that some of our hotels and hostels are located in picturesque locations by the beach and require local transfers to get to the main town. If you wish you explore the town or take part in an orientation walk, please be prepared to cover the cost of local transport (maximum amount €5).

Yes- despite our busy schedule, you'll have time to explore local culture, take a stroll, or get up to whatever you desire to make the most out of your experience. Your tour guide will advise you each day as to when free time is available.
