About the trip

This G Adventures small-group tour shapes an eight-day itinerary devoted to southern Greek islands. It starts with a visit to the ancient Palace of Knossos near Heraklion, where you can see vestiges of Europe’s oldest city. The tour then takes on some of Crete’s natural highlights including a hike through the Samaria Gorge, finishing with afternoons by the sea in Agia Roumeli and Loutro, villages that feel untouched by time.

The journey continues across the Aegean to Santorini, where an orientation walk of Fira reveals its cliff-top streets, and a walkers’ path along the caldera brings views across the volcanic islands, settling finally in Oia with its famously painted sunsets. Travellers should note that accommodation is mostly in small, family-run hotels without air-conditioning and lifts, and ferry and bus travel together with carrying your own luggage are part of the experience. The group is led by a Chief Experience Officer with local guides, blending ease with insight along the way.
