Greece: 9-Day Cyclades Island Hopping – Santorini, Naxos, Paros & Koufonisia
This nine-day Cyclades route combines four islands with distinct rhythms. Begin on Santorini, continue by ferry to Naxos and Paros, spend a night on compact Koufonisia, then return to Santorini for the final evening. Eight hotel nights and four ferry tickets are included; breakfast is provided except during the Koufonisia stay. Each island remains yours to explore independently. Because the Paros–Koufonisia and Koufonisia–Santorini connections are seasonal and schedule-sensitive, BTOURS must confirm the complete sequence before flights or other non-refundable travel are booked.
| IMPORTANT — FERRY & WEATHER
Important: This itinerary is highly dependent on seasonal ferry timetables and weather conditions. Please contact BTOURS before booking flights or other non-refundable arrangements so we can confirm that the complete route operates on your preferred dates. |

Itinerary
Arrive on Santorini

Ferry from Santorini to Naxos
Check out, make your way to the port and board the confirmed ferry to Naxos. Continue independently to the hotel and enjoy the rest of the day at leisure.
Discover Naxos
Spend a full day on Naxos, perhaps exploring Chora and the Portara, inland villages, Venetian-era landmarks or a beach. Choose a realistic combination and arrange any local transport separately.

Travel independently to the port for the confirmed ferry to Paros. After arrival and hotel check-in, enjoy the remainder of the day at your own pace.

Accommodation
Eight hotel nights are included: three on Santorini, two on Naxos, two on Paros and one on Koufonisia. Breakfast is included on Santorini, Naxos and Paros but not on Koufonisia. New Haroula, Aeolis, Galatis and Koufonisia Hotel & Resort are supplier examples only; publish named properties only when guaranteed for the selected booking.
Transport
The package includes ferry tickets for Santorini–Naxos, Naxos–Paros, Paros–Koufonisia and Koufonisia–Santorini.

The final route depends especially on workable seasonal connections to and from Koufonisia, so timings, ports, seating and luggage terms must be confirmed manually.
