Greek island-hopping holidays let you experience the very best of Greece in one truly unforgettable trip. With over 6,000 islands to choose from, each with its own unique character, it’s the perfect way to blend history, culture, beaches, and adventure. Whether you want mythology-rich Athens, Santorini’s romantic sunsets, Crete’s golden sands, or Mykonos’ lively nightlife, a multi-centre trip lets you combine them all in one journey. Below you’ll find some of our most popular itineraries, but we can also create a tailor-made holiday designed just for you.
The islands complement each other beautifully, so you don’t need to settle for just one. Pair Santorini’s clifftop views with Crete’s long beaches, combine Athens’ ancient landmarks with Mykonos’ vibrant dining and nightlife, or head off the beaten track to discover quiet, secluded islands only reached by boat. From culture and history to relaxation and romance, island-hopping means you can have it all.
The best part about a Greece multi centre holiday is that you can combine all that you want to see into one holiday. If you’re looking for history and culture, include cities like Athens, and visit sites like the Parthenon and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. If you’re looking for a Greek Island with an energetic nightlife, check out Mykonos, which has all the charm of other Greek Islands, but a plethora of dance clubs. For a romantic getaway with unrivalled views and picturesque cliffside towns, Santorini is a can’t miss destination. No matter what you’re looking for, a Greece multi centre holiday is the best way to experience all these islands have to offer.
The best time is May–September, when the weather is typically sunny and seas are calm. Ferries run most frequently in peak summer months too, although July and August can get busy.
Most itineraries last 7–21 days depending on how many stops you’d like. For a two-week trip, we usually recommend no more than four islands, giving you three or more nights on each.
Ferries and boats are the main way to travel between islands. We’ll organise all your tickets and timings, so your journey is smooth and stress-free.

Shores were very easy to deal with, listened to what we wanted from our holiday and provided a very good travel package at a reasonable price. I would use them again and their representative, Dave, was never pushy or frustrated by any changes requested throughout the process.
