Grace & Owen's Greek Honeymoon

Athens · Sifnos · Milos · Santorini — August 21–September 6, 2026

What Full-Service Looks Like

Sixteen nights, four islands, one plan. Every hotel, transfer, excursion, and dinner reservation arranged in advance — so all Grace & Owen had to do was pack. This is the kind of itinerary I build for every client, start to finish.

The Route

Athens Sifnos Milos Santorini THE CYCLADES
Getting Between the Islands

Ferries, private boats & helicopter transfers

Greek island transfers are their own kind of planning — ferry schedules shift with the wind, and the right connection turns a travel day into part of the trip. Here's exactly how I moved Grace & Owen between four islands in sixteen nights, from high-speed catamaran ferries to a private boat charter booked for comfort over convenience.

High-Speed Ferry

Athens → Sifnos

A Seajets high-speed catamaran from Piraeus Port, about 2 hours 30 minutes, with VIP seating booked for a smoother ride out of the capital.

Private Boat Transfer

Sifnos → Milos

Rather than work around a limited public ferry schedule, I arranged a private boat transfer directly between the two islands — a faster, more scenic crossing timed entirely around Grace & Owen's day.

High-Speed Ferry

Milos → Santorini

A second Seajets catamaran from Adamantas into Santorini's old port, about 2 hours 30 minutes, with luggage and port transfers arranged on both ends.

Private Helicopter Charter

Any island, via Hoper

For clients who'd rather skip the sea altogether, I can book private helicopter transfers through Hoper — Athens to Santorini in under an hour, with the Cyclades laid out below.

Every transfer — ferry, private boat, or helicopter — is booked, confirmed, and timed around the rest of the day before a client ever leaves home.

"We didn't plan a single thing ourselves — and every place we stayed, every table we sat down at, felt like it was chosen just for us."
