Here is a lovely Santorini holiday for October (1-20th October) from London. It involves island hopping around Greece so it does involve a lot of travelling around - but for those that love to explore, it's definitely a trip worth doing. The flights are only with Easyjet so include hand luggage only, you are probably best sticking to compact hand luggage with the ferry and moving around a bit - so pack light!
You could do a shorter version of this easily enough, but if you are going to go to Greece and Santorini, this is a nice duration and not too rushed either.
1-2 October Arriving on 1st October you will spend 1 night in Mykonos Town (you'll return later on in this trip to Mykonos). You will stay at the Dimitri Pension which is in a great location in Mykonos Town and ideally places you for catching the ferry the next day.
2-5 October You will catch the ferry from Mykonos to Paros where you will spend 3 nights in Paros. Your accommodation is the Ampeli Apartments which has great reviews.
5-9 October You will take the ferry from Paros to Naxos where you will spend 4 nights in Naxos. You will stay at the lovely Iliovasilema which again has great reviews and is centrally located.
9-13 October You will take the ferry from Naxos to Ios where you will spend 4 nights at the Hermes Hotel. This is not far from the ferry port to so ideal location to explore.
13-18 October You will take the short ferry from Ios to Santorini where you will spend 5 nights. This may be too long for people, but it's also a good opportunity to hire transport and get out and about in search of amazing sunsets. You could easily add time into one of the other islands instead and for some people Santorini and Oia is too touristy, but it's a good opportunity to enjoy the sea view and relax as the accommodation I've picked here is also a little more expensive than in the other places. The Kiklamino Studios has a sea view and I think is worth the extra cost compared to some cheaper options as it has brilliant reviews.
18-20 October You'll end your trip by catching the ferry back from Santorini to Mykonos where you'll stay in the town for 2 nights

well the ferry prices would be half the cost as would the flights. Accommodation is the tricky one as it may well be the same price if they haven't got single rooms and you are effectively paying the same price for 1 person as you are for two. Worth just amending the no of persons in each hotel and seeing if it is cheaper.

if you do this and go to Naxos you have to go to the island of Koufonisi - amazing. also hire a car on Naxos and visit the south of the island. deserted beaches and pine tree fringes even in the height of summer.

Booked with my wife for our first trip to the Greek islands, can't wait. Upgraded a few of the hotels but still came in at £999. Thank you for your efforts. We had no intention of going away but now can't wait :-)
