Island hop from Santorini to Mykonos

Spectacular sights await in Santorini, on Virgin Voyages’ Greek Island Glow Itinerary. An abundance of whitewashed houses and multicoloured cliffs welcome you to the island, ensuring you catch one of its famous sunsets in Oia.

Fun fact: In around 1600 BC a massive volcanic eruption caused the middle of the island to collapse, leaving a crater that today features towering cliffs, making up the island’s iconic landscape.

Go beyond the tourist hustle and bustle and discover Santorini’s vineyards and traditional villages to get a true taste of the island.
