You\u2019ll find recommended arrival and departure airports, along with suggested timings, in the FAQs below.\n"},{"question":"Which airport do I need to fly in and out of? Plus airport code","answer":"Fly into Athens Airport (ATH) and out of Santorini International Airport (JTR).\n"},{"question":"What time should my flight arrive (in time for the welcome meeting)?","answer":"We suggest arriving before 4 pm on Day 1, to allow yourself enough time to freshen up before the welcome meeting. Check in at the hotel is from 3 pm.\n"},{"question":"What time should my flight depart on the last day?","answer":"There are no planned activities for Day 9, so you can depart at your own leisure. Santorini Airport is approximately 10 minutes from your final hotel. Your Pack Leader can help you book transfers the night before if needed.\n"},{"question":"Are airport transfers included? ","answer":"If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure, or you\u2019ve booked yourself a pre-night at the same hotel the adventure starts from, your airport arrival transfer will be included. Arrival transfers are private to Flash Pack and in groups depending on flight times, so you may have to wait in the airport for a short while.\nHowever, if you\u2019ve booked alternative pre-trip accommodation or are arriving by another mode of transport, you\u2019ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer.\u00a0\nPlease also note: in order to secure your place on the private transfer, you\u2019ll need to provide your flight details to our Customer Experience team no later than 30 days prior to your adventure\u2019s departure date. You\u2019ll get automated email reminders about this, but the team won\u2019t be chasing you. That\u2019s why it\u2019s key to get this information over in good time. If the details are provided later than 30 days pre-departure, you\u2019ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer.\nDeparture transfers are typically not included due to travelers leaving at varying times. That said, your Pack Leader will happily help arrange departure transfers for you if required.\n"},{"question":"Are tips included? ","answer":"Please note that tips are not included in the cost of this adventure. Suggested amounts per person are:\n\nPack Leader: 10 EUR per day\nDrivers: 3 EUR per transfer\nLocal guides: 5 EUR per half-day tour\n\nYour Pack Leader will be able to advise on how much to tip in restaurants, taxis, etc. Some Pack Leaders will collect a tipping kitty at the welcome meeting to take care of local tips.\nHowever, all tips are at your discretion depending on what you feel comfortable with.\n"},{"question":"What vaccinations and medication will I need? ","answer":"While we are not medical professionals and cannot offer personalized medical advice, we want to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable adventure. Here are some tips to help you prepare.\n1. Consult with a healthcare professional\nWe recommend scheduling an appointment with your travel nurse or doctor at least eight weeks before your adventure.

","answer":"Up-to-date visa and entry information can be found using our official partner, Sherpa, who can help you arrange a visa if needed.\nYou can also find essential travel advice \u2013 including security and local laws, as well as passport and visa information \u2013 on the government website of your home country:\n\nUK residents: review the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Travel Advice before your adventure.\nUS residents: consult the US Department of State Travel Advice for important travel information.\nAustralian residents: check the Smart Traveler website for up-to-date travel advice.\nResidents of other countries: refer to the travel advice provided by your own government or local consulate.\n\nPlease be aware that passport and visa requirements can change before departure, so it\u2019s important to stay updated with the latest information.\n"},{"question":"Is there a lot of free time on this adventure?","answer":"This Greek odyssey strikes a balance between scheduled activities and free time, allowing you to explore at your own pace. Each full day of the journey includes some free time, with a completely free day on Day 6 in Mykonos. If you prefer a more fast-paced experience, you may want to arrange extra activities during these periods \u2013 your Pack Leader will be happy to suggest options and assist with bookings. For more detailed information about the itinerary, please reach out to our Travel Experts who are here to help you make the most of your adventure.\n"},{"question":"Are there any other extra costs to be aware of?","answer":"Climate Crisis Resilience Fee: Customers will need to pay this government-mandated tax directly at hotel checkouts.
