![]() ![]() Lycabettos for a nice view.Ĭrete is great, and big, and beautiful, but you would really want to fly, and how many flights do you want to take during this trip? I have only been to Paros and Naxos for a day or so each, and that was enough for me.but then I am a museum junkie and possibly a reincarnated Minoan, so I have definite preferences! :) Have a fantastic trip! ![]() Having said that, what are your interests? There is a great Cycladic art museum and a Byzantine art museum. They also have some of the Minoan finds and frescoes (my favorites). They have some stunning sculpture from the Classical period (Poseidon/Zeus in bronze, the Jockey.), as well as all of the Mycenean burial masks and grave goods. The Archaeological Museum is a must, in my opinion. There are holidays and protests and celebrations and chaos. and New York, since it is the center of Greek politics, finance, fashion, entertainment, etc. I happen to love Athens! There is tons to do and some lovely neighborhoods if you get out of the Plaka. Your best Island transit sequence might be Milos - Santorini - Naxos depending on flight availabilities. You could see Delos on a day-excursion from Naxos. also, just out of curiousity, why would you go BACK to Paros when it's farther from Santorini than Naxos is?Īs for your series of questions - my opinion is Yes, choose Naxos, trade off Paros for Milos. Have you checked what flights are available coming back to ATH from Santorini? This is June- Bridezilla Month!! Beware!.DATE and TIME of Day your homeboundFlight leaves on Day 12.DATE and TIME of DAY you arrive Athens.So, I'll come back on Friday IF you tell us If you want help at this late date you need to give us DATES not just "Day 1" - it affects transport AND (in case of Santorini) the Crowd factor. and the logistics get complicated because of Limited flights except for Santorini (which you may pay thru the nose for). Yes you ARE late in planning, so be prepared to pay more. PS saw Janet has weighed in on many posts and has a lot of experience, if she wants to chime in! Are Naxos and Paros too similar and should I pick a different island (Milos or leave this set of islands entirely - Crete?)? Or a mainland town (Nafplio maybe) instead? We are thinking to skip Mykonos so we aren’t doing two big tourist islands although Delos sounded interesting. We are thinking the following for itinerary:ĭay 2: Athens (Acropolis, Ancient Agora, Natl Archaeological Museum (if needed?) and Acropolis Museum over Day 1-3)ĭay 3: Day in Athens, early evening Flight or Ferry to ParosĪny adjustments in time or order suggested? We definitely want to do Santorini. We haven’t heard great things from our friends about Athens so wanted to do it at the beginning of our trip and save the best for last. In terms of budget - not looking to break the bank but want to enjoy vacation. We like history, cool towns, good food/drinks, beach time, and “light” hiking. We are a married couple in our early thirties. Looking to plan a trip to Greece in late May / early June. ![]()
