The morning ferry slips away from Piraeus and the Aegean breathes across the deck—salt on your lips, white-washed houses shrinking into a cluster of bright dots. This five-day island-hopping route pairs the narrow alleys and windmills of Mykonos with the cliffside caldera views of Santorini, moving from lively beaches to archaeological silence on Delos and volcanic shorelines that steam faintly underfoot.
