Greece (Athens & Santorini)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Greece is a southeastern European country spanning the Aegean, Ionian, and Mediterranean seas, renowned for its ancient history, iconic architecture, and sun-drenched islands. Athens, the capital, draws visitors with world-class archaeological sites including the Acropolis and Parthenon, alongside a vibrant food, nightlife, and street-art scene. Santorini, the volcanic island in the Cyclades, is famous for its dramatic caldera views, whitewashed clifftop villages like Oia and Fira, and striking black and red sand beaches. Travellers come for the blend of deep cultural history, island-hopping adventures, outstanding Mediterranean cuisine, and some of the most photographed sunsets in the world.

Santorini Explorer — Self-Launched Athens & Santorini

A solo-friendly, self-launched version of Fez Travel's 7-day "Santorini Explorer" (sold via TourRadar). Same bones: two nights in Athens with the Acropolis and ancient city sights, then the high-speed ferry to Santorini for three nights of caldera villages, volcano boat trips and red-sand beaches, before returning to Athens. Instead of paying for hotel transfers, greeters and vouchers, you book the pieces yourself: a central Athens hostel or budget hotel, the Acropolis ticket direct from the official e-ticketing site, a Blue Star or Seajets ferry, and a caldera-view guesthouse or hostel in Fira or Perissa. Everything is bookable on GetYourGuide, Ferryhopper, or directly with the operator. Costs are approximate 2025-26 backpacker/budget-traveller estimates in GBP per person, assuming a shared dorm or budget double; single-room supplements in Santorini in high season can push accommodation up significantly.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Greece (Athens & Santorini) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

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.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
