Travelstride Take
Greece is world renowned for the islands dotting the bright blue Mediterranean. Each has a distinct personality and this tour introduces you to two. Santorini is perhaps the most recognizable, you'll end with a wonderful 3.5 days among the famous white buildings. The first island you visit is Mykonos. Often called the "party island" there's actually a lot more to this destination as the 4 days will reveal. Let the laid back island life take you! This tour is perfect for travelers visiting Greece for the first time who want a mainland introduction as well as the island experience. - Stride Editor
