There are destinations that have become authentic icons of the Greek islands on their own merits. One of those destinations is Santorini, one of those white villages that stands out for its blue-domed churches and spectacular views over the volcanic caldera.
Mykonos is different. Mykonos‘ cosmopolitan vibe makes it an especially attractive destination for those looking for a little more action.
Of course, this route through the Greek islands is not limited to these two cities, as there are also other particularly attractive islands such as Paros, Naxos or Milos. Depending on the trip you are looking for, different visits can be scheduled until a balance is achieved between the most essential places and those that offer a more leisurely experience.
One of the great advantages of visiting the Greek islands with a small boat is being able to look beyond the usual destinations.

Finally, the Ionian Islands. These Ionian Islands are presented with more abundant vegetation and landscapes reminiscent of other corners of the Mediterranean. Corfu, Kefalonia or Zakynthos can be part of an unforgettable holiday in the Aegean.
