In the series return, our Travel Guides take off on a Greek island-hopping holiday.
Starting in the ancient capital, Athens, they hop aboard the ferry to the party island of Mykonos and the traditional island of Milos.
Greece is everything they ever imagined: stunning islands, turquoise waters, sensational souvlaki and endless parties. But will an island-hopping vacation through the cradle of Western civilisation be too hectic to handle?
To get started, our Travel Guides check out the historical sites of Athens, from the huge and imposing Parthenon to the original Olympic stadium. Putting their own twist on history, they go for a few Olympic records of their own, with varying levels of success.
Leaving the chaos of Athens behind, they board the massive ferry that takes tourists around the stunning islands of the Aegean Sea. This time it’s express to Mykonos, the former fishing island turned international party destination.
The Guides tuck into delicious Greek food and try to keep up with the most beautiful influencers in the world at the Super Paradise Beach Club. Some of our Guides rise to the challenge while others are left in ruins.
Back on the ferry, our travellers are longing for more stable shores. The best-kept secret in the Greek Islands awaits them on Milos, where white volcanic cliffs curve like marble into vivid blue seas. Right on the shoreline, their accommodation is fishing shacks converted into spectacular waterfront digs.
But there’s no time to relax. The party has followed our Guides to this traditional paradise. It’s one of the biggest festival days of the year and the whole island has gathered to celebrate with bells on. Literally. As well as the bells, there’s food, wine and a lot of dancing. Even our most reluctant visitors must admit it – no one parties like the Greeks.
Will a week of island hopping around Greece be the ultimate experience for the Travel Guides? See what they rate their holiday out of five stars.
