Greek Island Hopping with the Family | Cyclades

Planning a trip to Greece?

Want to move around and visit more than one location with the kids in tow?

Welcome to the ‘Our Tribe Travels’ family guide to Greek island hopping.

Planning you Greek island hopping route:

The first decision you have to make is which area to focus on. We prefer to travel in areas that have a more authentic, local feel, so we chose to travel around the CycLades, a stunning and diverse set of islands located East of Athens and the mainland.

It’s also worth thinking about your flights to and from the country. We chose to book an inbound flight to Mykonos and an outbound flight from Athens. This gave us the freedom to explore more islands without having to double back on ourselves.

Cost considerations for Greece:

We are budget travellers and our ballpark figure for accommodation is 35 to 50 euros per night. In the height of summer you can expect to pay 30% more for rooms, so factor this in.

Average prices for food are:

  • Fresh cafe coffee – 2.5 euros
  • Local style coffee – 1 euro
  • Greek Salad – 5.5 euros
  • Main fish dish – 14 euros
  • Side dishes – 3 – 6 euros
  • Ice cream on the beach – 2.5 euros

Booking Flights to Greece:

If you are planning to visit during the European summer holidays then start looking at flights 9 months beforehand. Greece is a popular family destination, so the closer you get to the summer holiday, the harder it is to secure a good deal.

To plan or not to plan:

We LOVE to keep things free and easy when we travel, not booking accommodation in advance and finding home-stays and bed and local breakfast establishments as we move from place to place. As we were heading to Greece at the end of July / early August this was a risky strategy, but we decided to see what would happen.

Accommodation on the Greek islands:

Greece has an abundance of small apartments, studio apartments and bed and breakfasts, as well as the more conventional big hotels. We always choose the smaller, privately owned places as we prefer the personal touch.

Family accommodation in Greece – what we learnt:

  • The majority of rooms come with small kitchenettes (a cooker, fridge, small hob and cooking utensils)
  • Breakfast is NOT included in the majority of smaller establishments.
  • Owners will gladly pick you up, and drop you back to the ferry ports free of charge – this is fantastic when you’re traveling as a family as you don’t have to fathom out the local transport system on arrival.
  • The local bed and breakfasts and home-stays can be booked through booking.com or Airbnb.
  • During July we would find an available room online and then visit it and negotiate the rate in person. In some cases we saved 50% off the online rate.
  • Touts do welcome you off the boats to try and sell you their available rooms, but from what we saw, during he peak of summer these were the rooms with poor review and ratings. There was a reason that they weren’t at full capacity.

Travelling in Greece during August:

During the summer months the majority of families will book their accommodation in advance. In August 95-100% of the booking.com inventory was booked, but we found that Airbnb had a larger number of available properties that suited our needs.

If you are a family that requires more than one room it’s imperative to secure your accommodation in advance as you may struggle to find anything suitable.

Top tips for the Greek island ferry services.

Plan your route in advance
Some Greek islands have limited services that only run a couple of times a week.

Book the ferry tickets in advance
We booked our tickets online using www.directferries.com, but we found that tickets were cheaper the earlier you secured them.
Please note than when you book tickets online you still have to collect printed tickets from a local travel office near the port. Factor this into your time planning.

Check the ferry routes and journey times
Don’t assume that the closer the destination, the shorter the ferry journey. Some ferries make huge detours around neighbouring islands before double backing on themselves. We learnt this the hard way when we booked to go from Paros to Syros. The journey took 7 hours, despite it only being a short hop away!

Get accurate ferry data using live gps tracking
We used a gps tracking app to accurately see when our boat was coming in to dock. We found the easier than trying to track down the ferry port advisors. It was also handy to use when we were on the boats as we could accurately track our journey.
https://www.ferriesingreece.com/live-boat-traffic.htm

Exiting the boat last is a more pleasant experience.
The ferries have one exit for both foot and vehicular traffic. As the ferry comes into doc the basement car park is opened and passengers can get into their vehicles. We found that the lower deck gets very smokey from the car / lorry exhausts and it is better to wait until the vehicles are moving, before trying to exit.


Limited ferry seats.

The larger ferries (Blue Star) have very few free seats. If you want to secure a seat arrive at the ferry doc 1 hour before departure. (The larger boats arrive into the dock 30 minutes before the departure time as the boarding takes 20-30 minutes).

Our Greek Island hopping route:

  • Day one: London to Mykonos (we jumped on the first boat out to Naxos as Mykonos is SUPER expensive. A very basic room was circa £180 per night)
  • Day two Naxos – town
  • Day 3 Naxos – Prokopios beach
  • Day 4 Naxos – Prokopios beach
  • Day 5 Paros – Alikis
  • Day 6 – Paros Alikis
  • Day 7 Paros Santa Maria
  • Day 8 Paros Santa Maria
  • Day 9 Paros to Syros (Kini)
  • Day 10 Syros Kini
  • Day 11 Syros Kini
  • Day 12 Syros to Athens
  • Day 13 Athens
  • Day 14 Athens to London

Naxos:

Naxos is the largest of the Cyclades island group. Its fertile landscape spans mountain villages, ancient ruins and long stretches of beach. The port town is really pretty and has whitewashed, cube-shaped houses surrounding an old fort.

The port waterfront has many restaurants running parallel to the water and is a great people watching spot as the boats and yachts sail in to doc.

Why we loved Naxos:

The town beach, called George beach is superb for little kids. The clear water remains shallow for circa 30 metres. It’s very popular with families and there are many small bed and breakfasts in the surrounding cobbled streets.

There’s a local bus that takes you down the coastline, stopping at the main beaches. Bus tickets need to be purchased prior to boarding and can be bought at the local tourist offices.

Naxos offers a variety of water sports and has windsurfing schools that cater for kids. The shallow, calm water in some of the beaches are perfect for inexperienced windsurfers.

The island is easy to drive around and car hire is from £35 per day.  Child car seats are readily available and we were not charged an additional fee for using it. One day is enough to see the key sights on the island.

The beaches are stunning and the water is very clear. Expect to pay 10 euros per day for the hire of a 2 x sun-beds and an umbrella.

Paros:

Paros is located 8 miles West of Naxos and is best known for traditional whitewashed villages and efficient local bus network.

Paros is a popular holiday destination for the locals and accommodation does get books up in advance.

Alikis is a very pretty area with many seafood restaurants lining the waterfront. The beach here is a little small and although there is a bigger stretch of sand around the headland, we preferred Santa Maria in the North of the island.

Why we loved Paros

Our send stop in Paros was Santa Maria surf school. This was a gem of a find as the majority of places were fully booked. Essentially it is a huge camp, 5 kilometres outside the Naousa, with a range of accommodation. You can bring your own tent, hire an existing tent, stay in a basic hut or rent a family bungalow.

There’s an outdoor pool that has a lifeguard, a pool bar, cafe and shop on site and a surf school down on the beach. It’s a great location for older kids as there are plenty of outdoor sport options.

Top tip – the only ATM machines on the island are at the airport, port and in Naousa town.

Syros:

Syros is the capital island of the Cyclades and therefore has an abundance of cultural things to do – theatre, museums and historic buildings.

The island is very hilly and the roads cutting across the island are winding with fantastic views over the coastline.

Why we loved Syros:

Our 3 days in Syros was all about the rest and relaxation. We found a fantastic little apartment, set back a few hundred metres from the beech, with a lovely big balcony which was perfect for star spotting in the evenings.

Accommodation recommendations (40 – 75 euros per room per night)

Sanoudas, Naxos centre 

A small, white washed guest house a few streets back from St George’s beach. The rooms are bright and clean and some come with small balconies overlooking the cobbled street below.

Our room had a double bed and single and had an en suite bathroom with a handy fridge for storing drinks.


Tasia Studios, Prokopios, Naxos

Set back from the beach, these studio apartments are perfect for families. Our room was very spacious, came with a single and double bed, en suite and kitchenette. We loved the little veranda out the front of the room. A perfect spot for breakfast.


Santa Maria, Paros

A surf camp that is great for families. The camp itself is a stand alone destination, but they offer a free bus into the nearby town every night. Accommodation ranges from camping up to the comfortable bungalows.

Our little chalet in Santa Maria, Paros.

Kini, Syros

This was a great little find. A lovely little apartment that was spotlessly clean. We had a kitchenette with a single bed/sofa, a double bedroom, a bathroom and a large balcony.

The apartment was a 10 minute walk to the beach (a few hundred metres).
The owner was lovely and even organised a taxi to meet us at the ferry port at 3am!


Packing Tips:

When you’re island hopping, and moving from place to place, the less you pack the better. As most apartments have a kitchenette it’s very easy to hand wash clothes and a clothes drying rack is standard in most places.

Pack hat clips. The ports and boats can get very windy. Attach your hats to clips to avoid losing them!

Enjoy…

🌟 Campervan Essentials 🌟

Campervanning looks very different for many people - some prefer a little more luxury, while others are happy with very minimal equipment. I would like to think that we sit somewhere in between those extremes and pride ourselves on only buying and storing things in the van that we consider are essential for making life easier on the road as a family. 

🌟➡️ NEW on the BLOG -  Our Campervan Essentials! (Link in bio) All recommendations are items we have tried and tested over a considerable period of time, organised within the format of answering questions we have been asked recently.
▪️How can you keep your van clean and tidy on the road? 
▪️How do you prepare meals when you are travelling? 
▪️How do you manage to travel with children and a dog? 
▪️How do you manage to fit everything that you need into such a small space? 
▪️What items have you found really useful that I might not have thought of? 
▪️What items do you find really useful when travelling with children? 

If you could only choose THREE essentials in your campervan, what would they be?

If you've seen any of our stories this week, you'll know we've been having fun exploring North Wales! (In between some early April showers!) This is the fab Bryn Celli Ddu burial chamber, which is on Anglesey, and is completely fascinating! As you can see, you can actually go inside it!!! A low passageway leads to a small room with a standing stone in it - and lots and lots of offerings people have left! We've never been anywhere like it before, and it was so lovely for the kids to be able to explore and experience it!

Hello 👋 We've had so many new followers since we started travelling again, so I thought I'd do a little re-introduction as it's been a looooooooong while since the last time I did this 😘

🚐 I'm Jenny, Mum of the Lynn family. I work as a travel blogger (yes, that is actually a real job that earns you money 😜) - I love the flexibility it provides me around our family and the travel opportunities it brings.

🚐 With Jay (hubby) and our two boys (Arthur 7, Ezra 6) we live in the Peak District 🇬🇧. I also run peakdistrictkids - which has become the go-to website for families exploring the UK's oldest national park 🥾 and the website receives over 180k page views per month.

🚐 As a family we love epic adventures. We have lived in India, trekked the Himalayas, and traversed Africa in a Land Rover.

🚐 We jumped on the pandemic VAN-waggon in June '20 and bought our Mazda Bongo camper from eBay for £7k. We were supposed to be taking a family gap year and travelling overland from London to Sydney last year - a trip Jay and I did back in 2007 🙄. But we absolutely love our Bongo; he's part of the family now 🥰.

🚐 We are all Aussie citizens as Jay and I used to live in Sydney. The boys have never even visited, and it's currently the top country they want to travel to. One day...

🚐 I've never liked sea food. And when I decided to become vegetarian over three years ago, it was a huge relief to just say to people that I'm vegetarian, rather than explain I don't like sea food 🙈. Although I still sometimes eat the boys left over fish fingers 🤷‍♀️.

🚐 Oh and we're currently spending the summer travelling around France in our Bongo and having the best time ever 🥰🇫🇷.

Right, I think that's enough waffling on about myself 🤣.

Big hugs, 
Jenny x

✨ I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees. - Henry David Thoreau ✨⁣
⁣
Do you ever feel this way? I often feel so tiny after time in the forest, realizing how minuscule our place on this earth really is, but what massive damage we have done. ⁣
⁣
Although, I get the point of this quote.. mentally, my heart is full and my mind is clear after time in nature.⁣
⁣
But this is me with poetry.. I’ve never been so great with it because I am very literal. However, I am learning...Cian and I have started a new homeschool ritual of Poetry Teatime. It’s been a fun way to get out of my comfort zone and open up new forms of reading for Cian. ⁣
⁣
I never even knew that he had an interest in poems, but he’s really taken to it. I bought a few books for kids, but what he enjoys more are the classic poets. So many of their writings focus on nature, which is where his love is as well. He’s even begun nature journaling every time we go somewhere - and it’s always a poem. ⁣
⁣
Don’t mind me, I’m just over here adoring what homeschool has brought to us! ⁣
⁣
Every day this child surprises me with his interest in things, his love of learning and excitement to explore all that the world has on offer. ❤️⁣

Anyways, hope everyone is doing ok? I've been a bit quiet on this account as I've been focusing on peakdistrictkids, closer to home, and we've barely been out in the #Bongo (except for school runs 🤷‍♀️)...⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And we had the weirdest realisation this week... something happened that was totally foreign to us... Jay has annual leave days outstanding for this year that he needs to take 🤣. That has NEVER happened to us in the 20 years we've been together. 😱⁣⁣

✨Once upon a time... a girl had a dream. ✨⁣
⁣
A dream to do a multi day trek with her 9 year old son. And off they went to the Andes of Ecuador... 🏔⁣
⁣
I don’t often think of myself as strong or brave, but for a total scaredy cat I have been on some epic adventures! ⁣
⁣
👣 One of the most amazing things I’ve done was earlier this year when Cian and I and my friend hiknmeg and her two girls set off on an amazing South American adventure. ⁣
⁣
We had no guide nor accurate map. All we had was our intuition, a few measly wooden sign boards occasionally set up against a rock to tell us where to go and our own determination. ⁣
⁣
We got lost daily, sometimes many times a day. We got caught in rain showers. Some of us (me! 👋 ) got stuck in muddy ravines and had to be helped up by locals.⁣
⁣
There were tears. There were fears. There was friendship and forgiveness.  There was lots of noise, and quite times too.⁣
⁣
Sometimes I just wanted to cry, so I had to dig deep to find the strength to get up that last half mile, straight up hill. Always, straight up hill. I could hardly do it. But I did. Every single day.  We all did.⁣
⁣
There were hard moments, but that last day knowing the end was near I felt sadness that it was almost over. I also felt stronger though, knowing what we had accomplished. ⁣
⁣
Two moms, on our own, with kids. ⁣
⁣
🙏 Now, 10 months later I continue to feel thankful I took the opportunity to be brave and do something off the beaten path and totally unknown. ⁣
⁣
💫 I’m grateful a person I had only met a few times trusted me with a trip of a lifetime. ⁣
⁣
💪 And I’m glad to know I CAN do hard things. ⁣
⁣
🌍 Now we wait.. & plan for our next multi-day trek somewhere else in the world!⁣
⁣
✨Explore more. Dream big. Do hard things. ❤️⁣

We arrived back into the UK yesterday and stayed at my parents' place in Kent to break up the journey north. The overnight stopover is allowed by the government and my parents are away in their camper at the mo.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We filled in the online government COVID forms before arriving to Calais, and were asked at UK border security if we had done them, although they weren't actually checked. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Then as soon as Jay has finished work, we'll do the final leg back home to the Peak District today 💚. ⁣⁣

✨ Wild Horses ✨⁣
⁣
When we began our homeschool journey a friend said they were going to study wild horses. Of course, upon hearing that, Cian said he wanted to as well. So, when we had the opportunity to visit Carson Valley, we knew we had to seek out the wild horses that live in the area. ⁣
⁣
What a dream day. We headed out with a local photographer who has spent his life in these hills, photographing wild animals. ⁣
⁣
We learned so much about the horses, the issues they face from the environment, people and the government. It’s such a tricky situation out here. There are lots of different bands of wild horses that roam the Carson Valley and even into the towns. The ones living close to town have been tainted by people feeding them so they are much friendlier (aka less wild!) than these. We couldn’t get even 100 ft away before they would start moving. ⁣
⁣
I had visions of close up photos with the horses, but you won’t get that here in Carson Valley. These are still as wild as wild can be! ⁣
⁣
They are a beautiful site to behold though. I encourage you to visit them some day.. just please do not feed them or try to get too close. Maybe we can eventually help these guys move deeper into the mountains away from all of us!⁣
⁣
Did you know that wild horses still roamed parts of the US? ⁣
