FAQs
Athens: What kind of seat will I have on the ferry? You’ll find a standard seat reserved for you while you’re sailing between the mainland and islands. (Mhm, travelling just like the locals!)
Athens: Will the ferries have Wi-Fi? Looking to disconnect from the world (and connect with your new travel pals)? Ferries are the place to be. The Wi-Fi and phone signal when sailing between islands (understandably) tends to be weak. That’s why we always recommend using an e-SIM or getting a local SIM so you can have continued connectivity. But there’s no need to worry if you don’t have one. All accommodations throughout the trip will have Wi-Fi available - so you can keep your Insta followers updated on all the fun!
Athens: Do all of the hotels have pools? Almost every time. Most of our accommodations tend to have pool facilities. But hey, you’ve got the sparkling Aegean waters of Greece by your side. So if you wanna take a swim, you’ve got the entire sea to explore.
Athens: Can I know what time the ferry will depart & arrive? Ferry departure & arrival timings tend to change for every trip. So if you’d like to know the exact time, you can contact our 24/7 customer service centre.
London: What does a modular trip mean? A modular trip means fellow travellers will join and leave at various locations. There’ll be some goodbyes, sure, but there’ll also be plenty of hellos with new like-minded travellers.
What is a Pride trip? Contiki Pride trips are a celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies. Think: all the fun & vibes of our classic Greek Island Hopping trip, with added experiences we know you’ll love – like interacting with the local LGBTQIA+ community and even visiting the Athens Pride Parade 2025.
Included Experience
Athens: Discover the history & lifestyle of the Pride community in Athens with a local guide. You’ll visit cruising parks, hidden bars, and even see the historical spot where Socrates and Plato used to hang out! Plus, we’ll finish up this 3-hour tour with a drink at a popular LGBTQIA+ bar.

ITINERARY
ITINERARYStart Athens
Hello, island lovers! Ready to explore Greece’s best islands and all their LGBTQIA+ hotspots, meeting LGBTQIA+ locals along the way too? Same. First up, your Trip Manager will give you a breakdown of what to expect over the next 10 days, then you’ll get to know your fellow travellers in style with an included welcome dinner.
Athens to Mykonos
With no time to waste, we'll start our Greek island hopping adventures today with our first destination: Mykonos. Let's do this! Two nights on the island of Mykonos, how did we get so lucky? Even the boat ride across the Aegean will have you awe struck and in love. Tonight, you'll have the option to join an exploration of Mykonos by night on a locally guided walking tour of the town's cobbled streets.
Mykonos
Get ready for a full day to explore Greece's LGBTQIA+ capital. The day is yours to soak up the sunshine and play in the sea. Doesn't get much better than this...
Mykonos to Paros
This morning we're on to our next Greek island, Paros. Let's spare a thought for all those travellers who only get to visit just one Greek Island, and then remember how lucky we are. Beaches, naturally sculpted swimming coves, a Byzantine church and traditional villages: we must be in Paros. You're free to get into the sun and sea vibes. Those who feel like exploring can sign up for an optional trip to a traditional village where you'll visit a local family-run bakery and shop the local handicrafts.
Paros
Another day, another Greek Island delight. Hold tight - today you have the chance to visit Paros and some of the stunning islands around it - for a full day of sunbathing, swimming, relaxing, soaking-up-the-sunshining. Later tonight, we'll tuck into an included dinner at a local restaurant, before heading out to sample the local nightlife.
Paros to Santorini
Paros, it's been magical – but today we're taking to the seas again, this time in search of Greece's most insta-famous island: Santorini. Santorini, we have arrived! Tonight you'll have the chance to join us on a cruise and take in the iconic Fira.
Santorini
Rise and shine, Greek Island travellers! The island of Santorini won't explore itself. Today is your day to take a swim at Perissa Beach, eat the local specialty of fried tomato balls known as domatokeftedes, or roam and explore. You can even opt to take a visit to incredible Oia followed by a visit to the black sand beach of Santorini.
Santorini to Ios
A bit more rugged and remote than Santorini and Mykonos, Ios will prove a nice change of scenery for our final Island night. And thankfully, there will be no change in the good vibes or the time spent ocean side. We'll enjoy another free evening on the cards afterwards.
Ios
Our final Island day, and your last chance to soak up the Greek sun and frolic in the sand without a care in the world. Now is your chance to get some adrenaline in with a speedboat safari, or take a leisurely stroll around the pretty village of Ios Chora and enjoy some stuffed zucchini flowers or baked feta drizzled with olive oil at a local cafe. After an included dinner, it's a free evening tonight, so you're going to need the fuel after spending the day boating, swimming and sunbaking!
Ios to Athens
Don't shed tears just yet. We have a boat ride to enjoy this morning, and then one more night together in the city of Athens.And this is what you've all been waiting for. It's time to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community at the biggest party in town.
End Athens
And just like that, it's the final day of our Greek islands trip. This morning, you have the option to check out the ruins of the Acropolis, and then it’s sadly time to say those goodbyes. As sad as they are, at least you have the memories. (and another 200 Contiki trips to jump aboard!). Make the most of your last free breakfast before you kick on to your next port of call.
