7 Days Private Tour to Mykonos, Paros & Santorini From Athens

Three legendary Cycladic islands, one unforgettable private journey through the heart of the Aegean.


This 7-day private Greek island-hopping tour from Athens takes you through the distinct character of Mykonos, Paros, and Santorini — three islands that collectively define the Cycladic experience. Private transfers, ferry passages, and hand-picked hotels are arranged throughout, so you can focus entirely on the journey.

Each island on this itinerary offers a different rhythm. Mykonos delivers cosmopolitan energy, labyrinthine alleys, and a beach culture unlike anywhere else in the Mediterranean. Paros counters with a quieter, more intimate atmosphere — granite-sculpted coves, butterfly valleys, and a harbor town built for leisurely wandering.

Santorini closes the trip with volcanic grandeur and caldera panoramas that have made it one of Europe's most sought-after destinations. A dedicated private wine-tasting tour and visits to Oia, Red Beach, and the monastery of Prophet Elias round out the island's many dimensions.

Tour Highlights

Explore three of the most iconic Cycladic islands — Mykonos, Paros, and Santorini — on a single fully private itinerary.

Wander the whitewashed alleys of Mykonos Town, passing charming windmills and boutique shops lining the waterfront.

Relax on Paros' Kolymbithres beach, where million-year-old granite formations frame transparent turquoise lagoons.

Take part in a private wine tasting at a family-owned Santorini winery with three centuries of wine-making heritage.

Photograph the iconic blue-domed churches and caldera views of Oia, one of Europe's most recognizable village settings.

Visit the Valley of the Butterflies near Parikia, a natural sanctuary where thousands of colorful moths gather each season.

Ascend to the monastery of Prophet Elias at 565 meters for sweeping views across the entire island of Santorini.

Itinerary Overview

1
Athens to Mykonos — Arrival & Orientation

A private transfer from Athens takes you to Piraeus port for the ferry to Mykonos. On arrival, a team representative meets you, delivers you to your hotel, and orients you to the island. The afternoon and evening are free to begin exploring the harbor, cobbled streets, and beach clubs at your own pace.

2
Free Day on Mykonos

A full day to discover Mykonos independently. Options include sunbathing at the island's celebrated beaches, browsing the boutiques of Mykonos Town, or taking an optional boat excursion to the ancient sacred island of Delos. In the evening, dine on fresh seafood near Little Venice as the sun sets over the Aegean.

3
Mykonos to Paros — Arrival & Exploration

A private transfer connects you to the ferry bound for Paros. After check-in, the afternoon is free to explore Parikia's maze of whitewashed streets and historic landmarks. A short trip from the port leads to the Valley of the Butterflies, a remarkable natural site worth adding to your afternoon.

4
Free Day on Paros

Spend the day discovering Paros' 120 kilometers of coastline. Kolymbithres beach stands out for its sculpted granite rock formations enclosing small sandy lagoons, while Santa Maria near Naoussa offers shallow clear waters and beach amenities. The island's unhurried character makes it ideal for independent exploration.

5
Paros to Santorini — Arrival & Fira

Ferry and private transfer bring you to Santorini, where a representative introduces you to the island on the way to your hotel. The evening is free to stroll Fira's cliff-side streets, sample local wine, and absorb the volcanic caldera scenery that defines the island's character.

6
Santorini Must-See & Private Wine Tasting Tour

A six-hour private tour covers Oia's panoramic blue-domed village, the traditional inland settlement of Megalochori, a wine tasting at a multi-award-winning family winery, and the striking Red Beach formed by volcanic cliffs. The tour concludes at the monastery of Prophet Elias, with a tasting of monk-produced local products at 565 meters altitude.
