Athens Santorini Mykonos 7N is a seven-night land package that covers three contrasting bases: the ancient city of Athens, the caldera island of Santorini and the beach town of Mykonos. It suits first-time visitors, groups of friends and couples who want heritage, volcanic scenery and beaches in one trip.
Athens has two nights, with the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum and Plaka. Santorini has three nights, with caldera villages, a boat trip or winery visit and a day of black-sand beaches. Mykonos has two nights, with Little Venice, the windmills and the beaches. Island changes are timed around ferries and domestic flights, and your planner will confirm the timing that suits your flights.
Ground travel is by private vehicle, with daily breakfast, airport transfers, transfers on each island change and visa assistance included. Flights to Athens, inter-island fares unless listed in the itinerary, the Schengen visa fee, travel insurance, other meals and personal spending are extra. Plan your dates with the Greece travel guide, places to visit in Greece and things to do in Greece.
Your trip expert can stretch, shorten or swap any day.
Land in Athens and transfer to your central hotel by private vehicle. Check in and rest after the journey. In the evening, walk through Plaka, the old streets below the Acropolis, and have a traditional Greek dinner. Keep the first day light, so you are fresh for the Acropolis tomorrow.
Visit the Acropolis early in the morning, when the site is cooler and less crowded. Book a timed entry in advance. In the afternoon, visit the Acropolis Museum, then explore the historic centre and Monastiraki. Finish with dinner in Plaka, where the streets are lively in the evening.
Transfer from your Athens hotel to the port or airport for your onward journey to Santorini. Ferries and high-speed catamarans run from Athens-area ports, and domestic flights are also an option. Your planner will confirm the choice. Check in to your hotel in Fira and take a relaxed evening to settle in.
Explore the caldera villages on foot, from Fira towards Imerovigli and, if you have the energy, on to Oia. Go early so the paths are quieter, and carry water in the sun. Stop for lunch with a view, then watch the sunset from a viewpoint on the caldera edge. Oia at sunset is crowded, so take your position early.
Choose a boat trip around the caldera or a visit to an inland winery for a less crowded day. In the afternoon, visit one of the black-sand beaches or Red Beach for a swim. Book boat trips and winery visits in advance, and check the wind forecast, because rough seas can change plans.
Take a ferry or domestic flight from Santorini to Mykonos, as your planner confirms. Sailings can depend on the weather and the schedule, so keep the morning relaxed. On arrival, check in to your hotel in Mykonos Town and take an evening walk towards Little Venice.
Walk the compact Venetian-era old town and visit the windmills above Little Venice. Spend the afternoon on one of Mykonos's beaches, which range from lively beach clubs to quieter stretches of sand. Mykonos is most expensive in peak months, so book dinners and beach areas in advance if you travel in July or August.
Enjoy breakfast and check out. Your private transfer takes you to the port or airport for your return to Athens. Leave enough time for check-in and possible wind delays. If your international flight leaves early the next morning, ask your planner about an extra night in Athens before you fly home.
Flights are not included.
Two nights in Athens give time for the Acropolis, which is best visited early in the morning.

FAQs
What travellers ask about this trip. Your trip expert can answer anything else.
Seven nights works well for these three places, with two in Athens, three on Santorini and two on Mykonos. It leaves time for the Acropolis, the caldera villages and one beach day. Each island change takes a travel day, so a shorter trip would feel rushed.
Athens, Santorini and Mykonos make a well-known combination for a first visit to Greece. Each base is a different experience: heritage in Athens, volcanic scenery on Santorini and beaches on Mykonos. Moving between them takes a ferry or flight, so the package keeps stays in each place long enough to enjoy them.
No. Flights to Athens are booked separately, and our planners can suggest timings from Delhi or Mumbai. IndiGo operates direct services between both cities and Athens, but schedules change, so confirm your flight before you commit to the package dates.
Most travellers use ferries or high-speed catamarans, with domestic flights as an option for longer journeys or tight schedules. Your planner will confirm the best option for each change and allow extra time, since sailings can be affected by the weather.
April to May and September to October suit this route best, with warm weather and fewer visitors than summer. July and August are hot, busy and most expensive, especially on Mykonos. Strong winds can affect ferries in August.
Yes. Visa assistance is included. The Schengen visa fee and travel insurance are extra. Applications are normally made no earlier than six months and at least 15 days before travel, so start early and confirm the current fee with the official process.
