Greece travel advice?
 

I leave for Greece in less than five weeks. I already have a flight booked
directly to Santorini because I knew for sure I wanted to go there for three or
four days, but I have no definite plans after that. Eventually I'd like to end
up in Athens so I can see the sights there and perhaps take a trip up to Delphi
and/or Meteora. The total duration of my trip will be two weeks. Any
suggestions on other islands I should visit before I make my way to Athens?

Crete is fairly close to Santorini and you could easily spend a few days
there.
They have daily ferry service with Crete.

Re: Greece travel advice?
 

Crete is really nice. It takes a lot of time to go around but its worth it.
Other destinations from Santorini are Anafi isl. Folegandros isl. (Small,
quiet islands)
Ios isl. (small but not quiet) Paros isl. Naxos isl. (typical cyclades)
Mykonos isl. (via Paros).
From Athens there is organized 2days tours for Delphi and Meteora.

An island along your route would be handy, i.e. one between Santorini and
Athens. And as a contrast to Santorini one that is less touristy. That
leaves the Cyclades, except the touristy ones which are Mykonos, Ios and
Paros. Why not Naxos, or Sifnos? I have personal memory on both. :)

Regards

Hi.
You might try to talk to some people who have made the trip out to Delphi
before you decide to blow a day doing that. While mildly interesting, I'd
personally opt for one more day in Athens or one of the islands.. The Crete
suggestion is good, but.... it's awful big and you probably need a car todo
it right and more time than you may have to spare. It's like a small
state--actually was a separate country until recently. Very nice though.
Especially Chania and (if you have the time) Paliochora. Also the palace
and Knossos and the museum in town where they took all the stuff from the
palace..
You also might take a look at http://www.greektravel.com/ which is the best
guide to Greece I know of.. Same person also does www.greecetravel.com ...
Hope this is helpful.
