You can design your own tour of Greece using one or more of these coach tours from reputable operators.
Mykonos gets a bad rap - some visitors claim it is too crowded, too touristy, too popular. But none of that would be a problem if Mykonos weren't, at its core, a fascinating and fun Greek island with great beaches, a lively international-flavored nightlife, and interesting cultural experiences.
If you want to explore Santorini in depth and allow plenty of time on its amazing beaches, this 4-day option may be the best choice for you.
Here's an easy way to work in a quick visit to Santorini from Athens. You can experience the best the island has to offer and still make it back in time for your flight out of Greece, or before you embark on a coach tour of Mainland Greece.
This four-day trip covers the major sights in the Peloponnese Peninsula plus Delphi and Meteora and can be expanded with a few days on your own exploring the Mani or vegging out in a coastal paradise such as Hermione or taking a quick boat to the jewel-like island of Hydra off the Peloponnese coast.
If time is an issue, this three-day version gives you most of the experience with a day shaved off from the 4-day version - but you lose the hanging monasteries of Meteora. If monastic architecture or Byzantine art is not your thing, this may be the trip you'll prefer.
If you add in a few days in Athens and environs at the beginning or end of this 7-day tour, you'll have "done" mainland Greece. All that's left will be to find a Greek island or two to round out your itinerary.
If you skip Northern Greece, you've missed out on an important part of the entire Greek experience. This is a relatively quick look at a huge area, but it still gives you a taste of the North.
