Hi, I’m Sylvie Simpson, and I’m a Greece island-hopping expert!
Welcome to Island Hopping in Greece!
On the site, you’ll find everything you need to know about island hopping in Greece and self-planning your island hopping adventure, including expert travel planning advice, island travel guides and information on getting between the islands, what the best itineraries are, how long to stay on each island and everything else you’ve ever wanted to know!

About Sylvie
After graduating university with a BA (Hons) Geography degree, I launched my very first travel blog. After a few years, I realised that my main passion was writing about the Greek islands, so I moved all the Greece content over to this site.
I also run the popular site European Cities with kids where we help families plan the ultimate city break and Kids to Cornwall which helps tourists discover my local area.
I’ve spent many months at a time island hopping in Greece, starting when I was a backpacker and continuing until now, when I usually island hop with my mum and my daughter.
With a wealth of experience island hopping with many traveller types (solo travellers, backpackers, travel with kids and multigenerational travel), I hope I can help you plan an amazing trip to the Greek islands that you’ll never forget!
Here, you will find everything you need to know about planning the ultimate Greek island hopping adventure, from choosing the perfect destination to exactly HOW to island hop to deciding the best places to stay and planning what to do.
You’ll discover insider tips like the top places to eat on each island and how to get around, as well as the top day trips. You’ll find detailed island hopping itineraries and guides (we’re hoping to create an ultimate guide to every inhabited Greek island).

Anyone Can Island Hop in Greece
You don’t need a huge budget to island hop in Greece; plenty of ferry companies offer cheap fares and amazing accommodation deals if you book in advance. Greece also has an amazing backpacker scene and plenty of hostels.
Don’t be put off by the price of all-inclusive holidays or hotel prices in Mykonos!
If you’re planning a trip on a budget, you need to choose your islands wisely, plan the perfect island-hopping route (I can help), and pick the right ferry companies.
Whether you have kids, you’re planning a solo adventure, or you’re looking for the perfect island for your honeymoon, Greece is perfect for everyone. Each island is unique – you just need to make sure you pick the right one.
I can also help you plan a luxury trip to Greece – think of the best and fastest ferry companies (some even have first class), top-tier accommodation and exquisite tours!
