Trip breakdown

22nd June - Leave Manchester early morning and land in Athens around 12pm and explore Athens for the afternoon.

23rd June - Leave Athens early and hop of the ferry which will take around 4 hours to get to Paros, you will arrive just before Midday so you can check into the hotel.

24 - 25 June - Explore Paros' beautiful beaches and quiet island life

1st - 3rd July - Explore Santorini's blue domes in Oia and lay on Perissa's beautiful black beach

4th July - Check out early and grab a taxi to the airport to head to Rome, you'll land into Rome super early so probably best you advise the hotel so you can leave your bags before check in

5th July - Explore Rome

6th July - Check out and leave your bags in the hotel and you'll have a whole day to explore Rome before your late flight back to Manchester

Athens - I've only put you in Athens for a night and half a day as I've done Athens twice and I wouldn't recommend more than a day here, basically visit the Acropolis and the main square and there isn't much else, it is a great base for sailing to the islands. I've chosen Victory Inn hotel which has great reviews and is a good base for the Metro which you'll need to catch the ferry in the morning!

Paros - This beautiful little island is great for relaxing with some beautiful beaches and it's very traditional and rather quiet, perfect for the start of the holiday. The hotel I've chosen is Dilion hotel which is close to the centre of town and also close to the harbour and beach. The owners of this little hotel are lovely and friendly and they pick you up from the port for free, the hotel is lovely and clean with an excellent location. I've stayed her myself and can't recommend it enough

Ios - Ios is a bit more of a party island than Paros with nightlife until 6am but don't worry if you're not the party type it's fairly quiet until 12am as the clubs don't open until then so you can still go into the centre and enjoy a quiet meal and drink until about 11pm! The beaches on Ios are some of the best I've been to. I've chosen Homers Inn as I've stayed here twice and the owners are so friendly, the rooms are spacious and clean, it's close to the port, the town and the beach! The owners also pick you up from the port too for free if you request it.

Santorini - This beautiful island is known around the world for its blue domes and it's as beautiful in real life as it is in the pictures. I've chosen to stay in Perissa as its a lovely resort and much cheaper than Oia which is all luxury hotels which are very expensive. Perissa is home to a beautiful black beach, and the hotel I've chosen is Aretousa Villas which is a lovely family run hotel, I stayed here this year and the owners are really friendly and the location is excellent being a few minutes walk to the restaurants and beach.

Rome - Rome is a city everyone must visit, you will be here for 3 full days which gives you plenty of time to explore all the sites. I've chosen St Paul Hotel which is located close to a metro for access to the city and it has good reviews on TripAdvisor.

This deal only includes hand luggage as for the amount of travelling you'll be doing it isn't ideal to be lugging around a case, I have done a similar trip to this 2 years on the run and have had just hand luggage with clothes for everyday, as its summer clothes it's really easy to pack! I just buy my toiletries after security and then you'll have them for the whole trip in Greece. If you do feel you'll struggle maybe just check a case in between two of you? To add a bag with Easyjet from Manchester to Athens it is £19, with Vueling to Rome it is £14.69 (€20) and with Ryanair it is £18.73 (€25) so it will be £52.42 for bag between you or £104.84, it is definitely worth either taking hand luggage or checking in one bag between two!

This trip is just a guide and you can change it for dates, departure airport and islands that suit you!
