Greece (Athens, Cyclades & Crete) with Kusadasi, Turkey

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Greece is a southeastern European country spanning the mainland and over 6,000 islands, celebrated for its ancient history, whitewashed architecture, and crystal-clear Aegean and Mediterranean waters. Athens, the capital, draws visitors with iconic landmarks like the Acropolis and Parthenon, alongside a vibrant food and nightlife scene. The Cyclades — including Mykonos, Santorini, and Paros — are famed for their dramatic clifftop villages, beach clubs, and island-hopping culture, while Crete offers rugged gorges, Minoan ruins, and some of Greece's best beaches. Just across the Aegean, Kuşadası in Turkey serves as the gateway to the ancient city of Ephesus and is a popular stop for those blending Greek island travel with a taste of the Turkish Aegean coast.

Idyllic Aegean: Athens & Island-Hopping Self-Launched

An independent, self-launched version of Globus's "Idyllic Aegean with 7-Night Cruise": two nights in Athens seeing the Acropolis and ancient sights, then island-hopping the Aegean by public ferry and catamaran — Mykonos, Santorini, Crete (Heraklion/Knossos), Rhodes and Milos — with an optional day trip across to Ephesus (Kusadasi, Turkey). You book everything yourself: hostels and guesthouses instead of cruise cabins, public ferries and Blue Star/Fast Ferries instead of a tour ship, and GetYourGuide/direct-entry tickets instead of guided excursions. Costs are rough backpacker-level estimates in GBP; island ferries and summer accommodation are the big variables, so book ferries early.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.
