Tips

If you have extra days, consider adding a side trip to the historic island of Hydra from Athens or extending your stay on Santorini to explore the quieter villages of Pyrgos and Imerovigli. To shorten the itinerary, you can skip the day‑trip to Delos and replace one beach day with a relaxed morning in Mykonos Town, still capturing the essence of each destination.
