    Overpriced experience

    This is not a tour. It’s only Ferry tickets and Accomodation inc. breakfasts. Beautiful hotels and good Ferry rides but booking it through here is VERY OVERPRICED. I wished I just booked the ferries and accommodation on my own. I paid AUD $2524 for this and calculating it if I would book it myself, it’s AUD $1618 So AUD $906 wasted… This price didn’t even included hotel shuttles, which is defiantly needed for the stays in Mykonos and Santorini. So I paid in total AUD $137 for this myself…

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We have red it with much attention. We are sure that the inclusions (and what is not included) are very clear before the purchase of the product and are displayed in detail in the website (and after purchasing it, in your voucher) Regarding your calculation you will have to add as expenses the taxes which are very important(VAT and other taxes come to + 45-50% approx. ) In addition our dedicated staff which prepares the package (making 7 reservations in total and sending 5 detailed vouchers) plus 1 staff who is available 24/7 during the days of your trip. Reservations in these high popular Greek islands during high season can become very tricky. There are always cheapest solutions, we agree, but we guaranty the bookings, as well as your peace of mind and monitor them before and during the trip. This comes with a cost. Thank you very much for your comment and for trusting our services.

    Nice tour, but getting to our hotels was unnecessarily hectic.

    We visited Syros, Mykonos and Santorini. Trying to get from the port to our hotel on Mykonos was a nightmare as there are a small number of buses and taxis, and a large number of tourists. We discovered on the island that hotels have shuttles that they can send to pick up passengers, but this wasn't included in our trip which meant trying to get to our hotel was unnecessarily stressful. I'd rather the cost of a shuttle was added so that we could've been stress free. Trying to get to our hotel cost us a lot of time which meant we didn't get to enjoy Mykonos as much as we would've liked, particularly given that this was our favourite island. Another night here would've been better. With the benefit of experience, we rang ahead on Santorini to book a shuttle from the sea port to the hotel, but the tour provider gave us the incorrect arrival time which meant we had to, yet again, organise our own transport, which is challenging when there are hundreds of people also trying to get to their hotels. I can't remember if there's an option to book this tour with 3- or 4- star hotels, but if there is an option, then I recommend 4-star. We had complimentary upgrades to 4-star hotels on two of the islands and they were briliant, whereas I didn't feel very comfortable at all in the 3-star hotel. This tour gave us two nights on Santorini, so we booked a day tour through Viator which was well worth doing because there would've been too much spare time, otherwise. Another option is to hire a quad bike and explore the island under your own steam, but an international drivers licence is required.

    Response from the operator: thank you for this detailed review This island hopping is offered in two hotel category options, 3-star and 5-star. Indeed land transfers are not included in this package. We aim to send all vouchers in advance (10-7 days before start of this trip) in order for our clients to add any extra services required. In addition we encourage clients to contact their hotels in case they offer shuttle services (that they do sometimes). we appreciate the time that you took to share your comment with us and we shall use it as a future reference to improve our services

    The travel agency was very slow in...

    <p>The travel agency was very slow in getting specific information to us regarding where we would be staying and what times we would be taking ting ferry. We had no idea until about 4 days out what we would be expecting. The fact that we were already traveling and this was the last part of our tour made not having information until the last minute very stressful. The hotels were great 5 star but considerably out of the way from any services or access to the cities on the islands with the exception of Syros Island. We had no time to take in the night life of Mykonos because we felt very rushed and not well informed about our options for transportation. Because we got the information so late, we couldn't do any research ahead of time. I would not recommend this tour.</p>

    We have recently enjoyed this tour...

    <p>We have recently enjoyed this tour and on the whole, it met or exceded our expectations. The one point that fell below our expectations was the choice of hotel on Mykonos. <br/> Syros was a very beautiful island and we enjoyed exploring the old town on foot. It is quite easy to get around for anyone with average fitness, my travel companion is 69 and did not have any difficulty. There are many steps on the side streets, so this may be an issue for some. We enjoyed beers and snacks at the road side cafes and restaurants which overlook the marina. The Diogenis Hotel is ideally situated dirrectly opposite the ferry landing. The hotel is clean and staff are friendly and helpful.<br/> The Terra Maltese Nature Retreat is a beautiful rambling cluster of bungalows built in a traditional Greek manner.the pool was a welcome reprieve from the summer heat. The location would be ideal if we had stayed longer than one night. Unfortunately we did not have time to arrange a hotel transfer, so resorted to a public bus which let us out at the top of the road to the hotel.we walked for 10 minutes to the hotel, where we stayed until we departed the next morning for the ferry.<br/> TIP ensure to contact hotel for a hotel shuttle. Also consider a car rental for your stay, as without access to transport you are fairly isolated. We consider that a property closer to one of the towns on the island would have made our stay more enjoyable.<br/> the Drossos Perrissa Beach Hotel was located on the back of Santorini island, far from the famed whitewashed walls and blue domed churches. This suited us very well. Within easy walking distance from the hotel are all the amenities you require, a serviced laundry, supermarkets, a range of bars and restaurants, as well as car and scooter hire. Also within a gentle stroll is the black sand beach of Perrissa with its sellection of bars snd restaurants. <br/> The management and staff at the Drossos looked after us exceedingly well and were very friendly.<br/> We stayed for two nights choosing to hire scooters for 24 hours, this gave us the opportunity to see all that we wanted to see in our our own time.<br/> TIP ensure that all windows are shut, inclding the bathroom, before switching on the air conditioning as sensors in the windows will not allow the air conditioning to operate while windows are open.<br/> The ferry services offered comfortable and efficient service. <br/> TIP for the 8 hour trip from Santorini to Pieaus we opted to upgrade to a cabin, we were able to sleep in comfortable beds and acces the business lounge and enjoy a refreshing shower to ensure that we arrived refreshed.</p>

    4 Nights in the Greek Islands from Athens: Santorini, Mykonos and Syros: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.

    How much does 4 Nights in the Greek Islands from Athens: Santorini, Mykonos and Syros cost?

    +

    Prices start at $788 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 4 Nights in the Greek Islands from Athens: Santorini, Mykonos and Syros take?

    +

    Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.

    Is 4 Nights in the Greek Islands from Athens: Santorini, Mykonos and Syros worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 42 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 4 Nights in the Greek Islands from Athens: Santorini, Mykonos and Syros?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 4 Nights in the Greek Islands from Athens: Santorini, Mykonos and Syros suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 4 Nights in the Greek Islands from Athens: Santorini, Mykonos and Syros?

    +

    Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 4 Nights in the Greek Islands from Athens: Santorini, Mykonos and Syros start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Athens?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Small Group Greek Traditional Food Tour in Athens 20+ Tastings, Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Athens?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Athens?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
