Facile

Easy days built for ages 6 to 80: no long hike, about 1 to 3 hours on foot a day, mostly on town lanes, promenades and paved paths. The Acropolis is about 1.5 to 2 hours on uneven, polished marble with a steady climb; Oia and the Naxos villages have steps; Nea Kameni is a 30 to 45 minute walk on loose lava. Each has a shorter option, and anyone can sit a part out in the shade or on the boat. The 10 km caldera walk is an active option, not the plan.

Points forts

Pourquoi ce voyage

  • The Acropolis on the first timed entry at 8 am, told as stories of gods and heroes, then the cool galleries of the Acropolis Museum
  • Sunset at the Portara on Naxos, reached by a flat causeway from the harbour
  • A giant unfinished marble statue lying in a garden at Flerio, then the marble lanes of Apiranthos
  • A whole day on the sand at Agios Prokopios or Plaka beach, with sunbeds booked and shallow water for the youngest
  • Sailing into the Santorini caldera under cliffs about 300 m high
  • Akrotiri, a Bronze Age town buried by a volcano, on level walkways under a roof
  • Oia's lanes at 8 am, before the crowds, and lunch by the water at Ammoudi
  • A day on a small boat: the Nea Kameni crater, a swim in the warm springs and lunch on Thirasia

Arrive in Athens, an early welcome dinner

Fly into Athens International Airport (ATH), about 35 km east of the centre, where a driver meets the whole family in arrivals and takes you to your hotel within walking distance of Plaka and the Acropolis, about 45 minutes. There is no metro or taxi queue to manage with tired children and heavy cases.

Soir

The afternoon is for settling in, a nap or the hotel pool where there is one; to join the evening, plan to land by about 3 pm. Your See Sight Tours guide meets everyone at 18:00 for a short briefing on how the ferries and bags work and why tomorrow starts early. Then we take a gentle, flat walk past the Zappeion, a 19th-century hall with a round courtyard of columns at the edge of the National Garden, and on under Hadrian's Arch into Plaka for an early welcome dinner at a taverna, with mezze, grilled meat or fish and children's portions, so the youngest are in bed at a sensible hour.

Compris

  • Pick-up at Athens International Airport (ATH)

Activité : The evening walk is about 20 minutes on flat pavements.

Faune et météo : May, June and September are warm without the strongest heat, and the sea is warm enough to swim from June to early October. July and August are the hottest and busiest months, and the meltemi wind can make crossings rough, so those departures keep sightseeing to the mornings. Boats and many island hotels cut back from late October.

Questions

What does the price include?

Eight nights in central hotels, breakfast daily, six lunches, welcome and farewell dinners, both ferries with luggage handled, the flight from Santorini to Athens, airport and port transfers, your See Sight Tours guide throughout, and every visit in the day plan, including the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum, Akrotiri, a booked beach day and the caldera boat.

What ages is this trip for?

Children aged 6 and up, their parents and their grandparents. Every day is planned so that a 70-year-old and a 9-year-old both enjoy it, with an easier and a more active choice on busy days, pool or beach afternoons and early dinners. Teenagers are welcome and usually take the active options.

How big is the group?

The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 guests, counting children, so it is often two or three families together. The group fits on one small boat and around one table, and the same people travel together from Athens to Santorini.

Who leads the trip, and does the guide come to the islands?

Yes. A See Sight Tours guide travels with the group for the whole trip, on both ferries and every island day, and handles tickets, bags, restaurant tables and changes. Greek law requires licensed guides inside archaeological sites, so a licensed local guide joins us at the Acropolis and at Akrotiri.

How much walking is there for grandparents?

Light. No day has a long hike, and no drive is longer than about two hours. The Acropolis is about an hour and a half on uneven marble with a climb, and there is a way to skip it. Oia, Naxos villages and Nea Kameni have steps or rough paths, each with a shorter option.

Can we bring a stroller, and is it suitable for limited mobility?

Not really. The Acropolis, the island villages and Oia have steps, polished marble and narrow lanes, and the ferries and boat have gangways, so strollers and wheelchairs are hard to use; the trip is for children 6 and up. A grandparent who walks slowly is fine: every busy day has a shorter, seated option.

Can we have family or connecting rooms?

Yes, we ask for them. We book central hotels of at least 3-star-plus standard and request family, triple or connecting rooms for each family when we confirm your dates, with a pool where we can. Tell us who is sharing with whom when you book; we name each hotel on confirmation.

Is there a single supplement for a grandparent travelling alone?

A room of your own is from CAD 995 more, because single rooms on Santorini in summer cost almost as much as doubles. A grandparent or parent sharing a room with a child pays no supplement, and we try to place a solo grandparent next to the rest of the family.

Can we travel privately or on our own dates?

Yes. Besides the small group, the trip comes as a private trip for your family only, on a date you choose, from CAD 9,945 per person. If you would rather travel independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section and we will quote hotels, ferries, the boat day and the flight for you.

What happens if a ferry is cancelled?

Your guide handles it. Strong wind or a strike can delay or cancel a sailing; we watch the forecast, move the group to the next ferry or a flight where one runs, and rearrange the island days so you keep the main visits. Any extra cost of a change we make is ours.

When is the best time to go to the Greek islands with children?

June and September: the sea is warm enough to swim and the heat is easier for grandparents. We also run in July and August for school holidays, with sightseeing in the mornings and pool or beach afternoons. May is lovely for walking but the sea is still cool. The trip runs to early October.

Do we need visas or documents for the children?

Canadian and US citizens do not need a visa for up to 90 days in the Schengen area, which includes Greece. Every child needs their own passport, and a child travelling with one parent or with grandparents should carry a signed consent letter from the absent parent. The EU's ETIAS pre-travel authorisation is expected but not yet required; we confirm the rules at booking.

How does booking work and how much does it cost?

Choose a start date and request to book. We check availability and provide the final quote, itinerary and booking terms before you accept. No payment is taken when you send the request. The small group starts from CAD 5,525 per person sharing, taxes included. Whether we offer a child rate is still to be set, so ask when you request.
