Mykonos, Santorini

Highlights

  • Tour the iconic Cyclades Islands by yacht – is there any better way? Swim in the Aegean Sea off the side of the boat and let the waves rock you to sleep each night.
  • Visit the chic waterfront bars that line the beaches of Mykonos, serving authentic Greek food and cocktails as the sun goes down. This is a great place to eat well and relax!
  • Explore the 11th-century monastery of Moni Hozoviotissis, wedged between the dramatic cliffs of Amorgos.
  • Pass the bleached-white villages that cling to plunging cliffs along the rim of a volcano –Santorini has some of the most distinctive and attractive landscapes in the world.
  • Head away from the tourist trail to the remote Small Cyclades islands, chock-full of tavernas serving fresh seafood and small villages to explore.

What travelers are saying

"I went on the Intrepid 15 day "Best of Morocco" tour in 2025 and had such an amazing time that I wasn't ready to leave by the time the trip finished! It exceeded my expectations in so many ways: value for money, itinerary, a lot of included activities balanced with lots of rest stops on longer travel days, very caring & attentive local guides, and lots of optional activities. As a company, Intrepid was very easy to communicate with before the trip started (I had sent a few questions about optional activities). The website is also easy to navigate and simple for updating travel & health information. If you are considering doing a tour with Intrepid - make sure you read the Essential Trip Information they have on each tour page. It describes everything in detail so you'll know what to expect. While I LOVED my tour, I can see some people signing up for this without reading the description and then being surprised at some of the 2 star hotels (in this case it was the "Original" tour style). Overall, I am impressed at how this tour managed to simultaneously get us closer to Moroccan culture AND feel like an adventure AND feel like a vacation from day-to-day life back home. I would travel with Intrepid again."

"The tour was a step into the culture of Japan and history but also touched much of the important larger cities and shrines. Tour director gave many one to one answers to all their questions. I would recommend however, that seats on the bus be rotated daily so that everyone gets prime seats."
