Greek Island Hopping Itinerary

We're leaving for Greece in under a week!

Planning started in February and bookings in April, yet it still feels very unreal.

After debating whether to join a tour, we decided to create our own itinerary. Hopefully it's not too ambitious. We'll be exploring Athens and staying on five different islands over three weeks. Santorini, Amorgos and Naxos in the Cyclades; and Poros and Hydra in the Saronic. 

I think we will have a good amount of time to explore or just hang out and soak up the vibes. A few tours of the ruins, and at least a couple of day sails or evening cruises. It's likely a bit too cold for swimming, but it would be nice to soak in the thermal springs and check out beaches. Greeka is a great source for ideas for daytrips and excursions in each of the spots. 

All our ferries have been booked in advance through Ferry Hopper. Now time to pack our bags!

Rather than head back into Athens the evening before the flight, we grabbed a stay at a B&B near the airport. Tranquil and serene, and just a ten minute drive to the airport!
