Island hop through the Aegean Sea

This eight-day trips around the Cyclades transports you across the Aegean Sea. With the wind in your sails, you’ll depart from Athens after a day exploring archaeological sites. First up is the island of Milos, where you’ll wander along white-sand beaches and slip into the rhythm of Greek island life. Then it’s onto the ancient landmarks and idyllic beaches of Naxos, where you’ll join an authentic Greek cooking class. Your last port of call is Santorini – a whitewashed island formed from an underwater volcano – where there will be plenty of opportunities for a dip in the ocean.
