Island Hopping Holidays in Greece: Santorini & Paros
MAY 20, 2025

There’s a certain rhythm to the Cyclades: a cadence carried by the sea breeze, the chiming of distant church bells, and the gentle lapping of waves against bobbing boats. It’s a melody that invites you to slow down, to breathe deeply, and to immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of the Aegean. So it makes sense to discover two of its most iconic islands in one journey. Island hopping holidays in Greece offer a unique opportunity to experience this rhythm firsthand, weaving together the distinct tapestries of Santorini and Paros into one unforgettable story.

Santorini: A Canvas of Light and Wonder

As you approach Santorini, the island reveals itself in dramatic fashion: towering cliffs crowned with whitewashed homes, blue-domed churches catching the sunlight, and the caldera shimmering below. Bougainvillaea spills over stone walls in vivid colour, and the scent of salt, thyme, and warm stone greets you like a quiet ritual. It’s an arrival that never feels ordinary.

In the famed Oia, the sun casts golden hues over cobblestone alleys, guiding you toward hidden cafés and quiet galleries. The caldera view is ever-present, a stirring reminder of the island’s volcanic soul. In the heart of the village, Andronis has created spaces that reflect the many moods of Santorini. There are secluded suites made for romance at Andronis Boutique Hotel, where dining at the iconic Lauda Restaurant brings together heritage and haute cuisine. There are the cliffside sanctuaries of Andronis Luxury Suites, home to the legendary Lycabettus Restaurant that floats over the sea like a dream made real.

A short stroll away, Andronis Arcadia offers a vibrant retreat, where space, light, and freedom come together in rare harmony. Here, spacious suites welcome couples and families alike with their blend of sophistication and ease. Spend your days by the pool at Beefbar Santorini Restaurant, and your evenings at Pacman Sunset Restaurant, where golden skies meet live music and open-air dining. In between, discover the soul-soothing treatments at Evexia Spa, where Greek well-being rituals unfold slowly, with intent.

For a more serene rhythm, head to Imerovigli and Andronis Concept, a sanctuary that gazes out over uninterrupted horizons. This is where wellness takes centre stage. Imagine morning yoga framed by sweeping Aegean blues, or a restorative ritual at Kallos Spa, followed by deeply nourishing breakfasts shared in quietude. Evenings arrive gently, casting a soft glow across the caldera. From your terrace, you watch the sky melt into colour. The sunsets here aren’t just seen; they’re felt, deeply felt, imprinting their symphony of colours into the soul and staying with you long after the light has faded.

Paros: A Passage into Gentle Living

A short sail from Santorini leads you to Paros, where time seems to slow with the tide. The harbour of Naoussa greets you with its charming rhythm: fishing boats rocking in the breeze, laughter drifting from waterfront tavernas, and the scent of grilled octopus mingling with the sea air. Wander the labyrinthine alleys, where church bells chime and cats doze in shaded corners. Here, life unfolds one small pleasure at a time.

Days in Paros are best spent embracing spontaneity, with a wide choice of activities that reveal the island in all its glory. Horseback rides along coastal or mountain trails, hikes through the wild landscapes of Paros Park, and afternoons in Lefkes, a village of silence, citrus, and sun, inviting exploration without a plan. For something unexpected, head to Kolympithres, where smooth, sculptural boulders spill into the sea and create a lunar-like beachscape that feels both raw and surreal.

All the while, the Aegean Sea never stops calling. Answer by going scuba diving to reveal a hidden world beneath the surface, while a boat trip to nearby Antiparos offers golden coves and slow pleasures that feel untouched by time. When night comes, Paros casts its quiet kind of spell. Starlit dinners, wandering conversations, and music floating from tucked-away bars carry you easily into tomorrow.

Amidst all this, in a quiet enclave near Agioi Anargyroi beach, you’ll find Andronis Minois, where the Mediterranean spirit is tangible. Rooted in simplicity and shaped by design, the hotel blends contemporary elegance with Cycladic soul. Mornings here begin slowly, followed by fueling breakfasts and sun-drenched hours between pool and sea. Aura Spa invites you to slow down, pause and claim a few moments to yourself, while dining at Olvo Restaurant offers refined Mediterranean cuisine paired with panoramic views and golden light. This is a place to surrender to the rhythm of the island, completely and wholeheartedly.

The Joy of Island Hopping Holidays

Choosing to embark on island hopping holidays in Greece between Santorini and Paros allows for a richer, more nuanced exploration of the Cyclades. Each island tells its own story: Santorini with its cinematic beauty and refined energy, Paros with its unhurried charm and natural simplicity. Together, they offer a full spectrum of Cycladic allure.

When to Go

The best time for island hopping holidays in Greece is late spring through early autumn. May, June, August and September offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and calm seas. The ferry journey between Santorini and Paros is short and seamless, and private transfers are available for those seeking an extra layer of comfort. The movement from one island to the next feels less like a departure and more like a deepening of the experience.

Crafting Your Andronis Journey Through the Cyclades

Begin your odyssey in Santorini, where Andronis welcomes you into a world of elevated hospitality. Each Andronis property offers a different lens on the island’s light, energy, and emotion. From there, continue to Paros, where the spirit of island life invites you to linger and live more slowly.

At Andronis, we believe that travel is more than movement. It’s connection, discovery, and memory in the making. Let us guide you through the Cyclades, shaping a journey that stays with you long after the horizon fades.

Suites with the most epic Caldera view, Santorini
MAY 13, 2024

Heading to Santorini? This Mediterranean gem needs no introductions. It has a unique visceral feel, where your senses are constantly intrigued, latching on to sounds, aromas and visuals. The passing scent of rosemary, thyme, and jasmin in the air, the sound of the clinking glasses raised to meet the sunset all wander along the meltemi breeze. But Santorini is a deeply visual island, where optics dictate the order of the day. And the disarming Caldera view in Santorini is what dreams are made of, so make sure you choose your accommodation accordingly at Andronis Hotels, tucked away in one of our luxury living spaces in Oia or Imerovigli.

Step into the postcard. If you decide to stay in Oia, you’ll be greeted by a sensory overstimulation of everything.

It is the most picturesque settlement on the island and has a multitude of bars, restaurants, shops and all sorts of places where you can let loose and soak up the essence of what this Mediterranean paradise is most known for. Choose your sanctuary from our collection of the best hotels in Oia, with luxury suites boasting the most epic Caldera view Santorini has to offer. Ranging from two to four guest capacities, we invite you to take your time and browse them all. Here are a select few to give you a taste.
