NEW FRIENDS
Travel with up to 14 like-minded women and me (TQ owner, Mel) to take care of everything... I've designed all our group trips and you may start as strangers, but you'll quickly feel like you're travelling with new friends, including me - I'm just the one who makes sure everything goes amazing!
OUR ITINERARY
DAY 1 - ARRIVE IN MAGICAL MYKONOS AND MEET YOUR GROUP!
Today is arrival day so you’ll be picked up at Mykonos Airport and brought to the beautiful, bustling heart of the island, Mykonos Old Town. I was just blown away by how unbelievably pretty this place is and I know you'll love it too!
Picture those iconically Greek, grey and white circular paved streets, nestled between white washed buildings with brightly coloured doorways and shutters, and the bright pinks, reds and oranges of bougainvillea flowers blooming from every angle, paving our steps with petals... it's just like something out of a movie set, where you feel like the star!
We'll check into our super cute guest house that's literally right in the heart of the absolute best location to be in, before we all meet and head out for drinks to get to know each other. in a gorgeous spot right by the water... welcome to Mykonos!
*If you would like to visit Athens or any other part of Greece before joining our trip, you can also get the ferry here and depending on the timing, I may be able to arrange your arrival transfer to pick you up from the port where the ferry arrives, instead of the airport. Please just let me know if that is what you would like to do.
DAY 2 - LET ME SHOW YOU AROUND LITTLE VENICE!
Mornings in Mykonos are slow, leisurely and lovely... and we won't be heading off anywhere too early so you'll have time to enjoy a breakfast at the gorgeous garden cafe neighbouring our hotel, that specialises in Greek omelettes and delicious fresh smoothies, or find somewhere else that takes your fancy in the town.
One of my favourite places here is Little Venice, named due to the position of the stunningly picturesque row of seafront bars and restaurants where the waves crash up right beside you as you sip on your cocktail, dig into some incredible Greek food, soak up the sunshine and gaze at some of the best sunsets you'll ever see... heaven!
A magical little maze, this place would be very easy to wander around and miss quite a few postcard perfect little pockets, so today I'll show you the highlights, make sure you see the best of these super pretty little squares, alleyways, shops, bars and restaurants, the famous windmills and some hidden spots... and help you get those iconic snaps you might be looking for too!
Once you've got your bearings you'll then have lots of free time to wander and explore too, before we all come back together in the evening for dinner in one of the many lovely Greek tavernas.
DAY 3 - MYKONOS BEACH-HOPPING DAY!
Now obviously when Greek island hopping, you wanna see some gorgeous beaches, and that's our plan today! Mykonos has a great choice, each with very different vibes, from super chilled to full on beach club parties...
On our beach hopper trip today, where local fisherman provide a steady flow of boat taxis between them all, you can hop on and off to sample the ones you fancy most!
Of course, I've also done my research and tried and tested them all, so I can give you my insider tips for which one to spend the longest at, that will be most up your street!
Enjoy a super chilled day soaking up gorgeous Greek beach life :-)
Then as the sun sets, if you're feeling in the mood, join us for sunset cocktails, and if you've still got energy after that, Mykonos has a vibrant nightlife waiting for you too!
DAY 4 - FREE DAY FOR MORE BEACH TIME / EXPLORING!
Enjoy a free day to explore by yourself or head back to your favourite chilled beach or beach club you found yesterday, or join me for a lovely walk past Mykonos' famous windmills along a beautiful coastal path to one of my favourite beaches!
I'll also show you a fab, chilled little swanky beach club along the way, where you can opt to spend a few hours alternating between walks on the beach and relaxing by a gorgeous pool.
Tonight we'll meet up for dinner on our last night in Mykonos before we head to our next island tomorrow... Santorini!
DAY 5 - TRAVEL TO STUNNING SANTORINI!
It's island hopping time and we're off to Greece's most iconic destination, the blue domed, white washed, cliff side postcard views of stunning Santorini! This place absolutely lives up to the hype and literally looks exactly like it does in all those famous shots, but it's actually even better in person with the scale of those dramatic sea views and the unexpected charm of the little villages and their lovely people, that you just can't capture in photos.
I fell in love with Santorini immediately and one of the reasons was the striking beauty of the accommodation I found for us! I actually couldn't believe it was going to be possible to bring groups here and stay in such an incredible, sought after location, right in the heart of those iconic postcard scenes, with the most amazing sea and sunset views direct from our balconies; the pictures just don't even do it justice.
We'll enjoy the afternoon relaxing here before we head out for dinner in my favourite local taverna, with the best rooftop for our first Santorini sunset!
DAY 6 - EXPLORE FAMOUS OIA & MAMMA MIA OPEN AIR CINEMA!
After a leisurely morning, waking up to breakfast with those amazing sea views, we'll head into the village of Oia to explore. Oia is home to Santorini's most famous scenes of those three blue domed churches, and I do know the best spot for you to get THAT shot, if you want it!
But there is more to see in Oia too, from the pretty village streets, great restaurants (including my fave traditional, family run one that I'll share with you), stunning viewpoints and the fantastic little port in Ammoudi Bay.
We'll explore together before returning to the sanctuary of our luxury suites to relax.
In the evening, you'll have the option to enjoy a special open air cinema experience, in probably the most scenic cinema you'll ever see, to watch the iconic Greek movie, Mamma Mia!
DAY 7 - FREE DAY & GREEK PLATE SMASHING FAREWELL DINNER!
Today is our last day and yours to do whatever you like... There are all sorts of options, including walking along the stunning coastline to neighbouring villages, exploring the pretty shops, cafes and galleries of our surrounding village of Fira, or an optional catamaran cruise around the caldera, past the volcanic red and white cliffs, beaches and hot springs.
I'll be honest though, because our spot here in Santorini is just so beautiful, most people are happy just having more time to soak it up on our balconies, taking dips in our private plunge pools and hot tubs, nibbling Greek snacks like pita and tzatziki and enjoying drinks from the local market!
To toast the end of our holiday and the new friends we've made we'll meet on our balconies for one final sunset together before we head off to a VERY fun Greek plate smashing restaurant!
DAY 8 - SOAK UP MORE SANTORINI BEFORE TRAVELLING HOME
It's time to enjoy a final morning waking up in Santorini and soaking up those stunning sea views while you enjoy breakfast, before we say farewell.
Unless you have a morning flight, once we've checked out of our rooms, you can choose to enjoy your last few hours however you like.
Take a stroll along the incredible coastal paths you'll now be in love with, and maybe do some souvenir shopping in Fira town, before your transfer to Santorini Airport for your flight home.
Or, simply soak up the Santorini sunshine and watch the world go by Greek style, in a local cafe or taverna with your new travel buddies, and plan your next Travel Queen trip!

WHO WILL BE OUR GROUP LEADER?
WHAT IS THE AGE GROUP?
Travel Queen tours are for women aged 25 to 59 who are up for fun and adventure!
HOW FIT DO I NEED TO BE?
You need to be of a good level of fitness as some tours and trips involve a lot of walking in the hot and sunny climate, and our accommodation in Santorini can only be accessed by steep steps due to its beautiful cliffside location, and there is no lift access. You also need to be able to climb in and out of minivans and boats and carry all of your own luggage for at least a 10 to 15 minute walk if needed.
WILL I GET TO MEET OTHER WOMEN
ON THE TRIP BEFORE WE GO?
On every trip we hold a virtual, video pre-trip meet up just for the women on your trip, so you can all get to know one another. We also create a closed Facebook group for everyone going on the trip too, where we share useful tips and advice and where you can all ask questions and get to know each other in the lead up to the tour.
Your group leader will be me, Travel Queen Owner, Mel Stephens, here! (Only in case of an emergency, it will be someone amazing that I trust to deliver the tour on my behalf.)
I will be there throughout the whole trip to make sure everything runs smoothly and that everyone has a fantastic time! For more info check out the 'About Travel Queen' part of the website or simply give me a call for a chat!
I'VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE!
If this is the first time you have ever done anything like this - don't worry, most of the women who book onto our trips are exactly the same as you! If you need some inspiration from other women you can read and watch the amazing feedback and videos from women who have been on a Travel Queen trip on our Meet Real Travel Queens page.
I'M IN! HOW DO I BOOK?
Great - you're in for the trip of a lifetime! You can book online here on the website on the link above, or on our Book page, with a £295 deposit or give me a call on 07399 303859 to book over the phone. The balance is due around 2 to 3 months before the trip, and the exact date will be confirmed in your booking confirmation letter. You can choose to pay in instalments in the lead up to this date or all at once.
WILL I BE SHARING A ROOM?
Yes you will share a twin, double or group (for example if a two bedroom suite) room with other women on the tour. It would cost a lot more if we didn't share! Sometimes it is possible to upgrade to have your own room, but it will be expensive due to the high cost of the accommodation that we stay in. Please get in touch if you would like to see if this is possible and what the additional cost would be.
HOW MUCH SPENDING MONEY WILL I NEED?
You'll need spending money for your meals and drinks, any shopping you might want to do and any additional activities that aren't included in the trip or that are just optional suggestions for you to choose from during the allocated free time. How much will depend on what you like to eat and drink (and how much of it!) plus whether you want to do lots in your free time or just relax.
HOW DO I SORT MY FLIGHTS?
Flights are not included in the trip and you will need to book these separately yourself. You will need to arrive in Mykonos by the afternoon or early evening of Day 1 of the trip so you don't miss our group welcome that evening. You will need to fly out of Santorini on Day 8 and there is no set time that your flight needs to be on this day, but please bear in mind you will need to check out of your room by 10am and if you have a very late flight we may need to transfer you to the airport much earlier as part of group transfer arrangements. You can also choose to arrive before Day 1 and stay later than Day 8 of the trip of course, but you would then need to arrange your own airport transfers.
If you are unsure about your flights, please get in touch to check that the ones you're planning to book will work around the trip.
