Maddie, Nicky, Cécile, and Bea's island-hopping Greek spring break: vibrant Mykonos, bohemian Paros, luxurious Santorini.

The four friends contacted us just before their spring break vacations started. They had decided on a last-minute fun trip to the Greek islands, and wanted to enjoy upscale island-hopping in Greece’s famous fun spots, but also experience Greek culture in a more low-key destination. After talking to them at length, and having heard the word party more than once, we decided to suggest high-end accommodation in the heart of the islands’ most famous nightlife locations, including more relaxed fun activities for some much-needed downtime. Right after landing in Mykonos, the four friends set off on a private luxury Jeep Safari around the island, enjoying the incredible views, wine and local delicacies, all while dipping into some of the clearest waters the island has to offer. They continued their island-hopping experience with a private speed boat ride to the mythological birthplace of Apollo and uninhabited islands. While in Paros, our guests sailed their deluxe catamaran to the hidden gems of the Cyclades, and got acquainted with the authentic character of the island.
