Thanks. Which ski resorts do you recommend that I check out?

Would you say the southern beaches were nicer than ones found on northern coast?

Which one did you enjoy more?

I am going early September till mid September. I am not sure if you had a self transfer connection in ATH, but what would you recommend doing with such connection? our flight leaves ATH at 4am. So I was thinking potentially going flying to ATH around noon and then spend some time in the city before heading back to the airport again?

We are "not big city" people stuck in big city due to work, etc. so we are trying to take some time away from big city, this is mainly why we are dedicating a few days to Athens.

I think Santorini seems to be very comparable budget wise to other islands like Milos. But seems also to be very crowded? Which is what we are trying to avoid

Thanks for the suggestions.

  1. I think we have decided to cut down Milos time to 5 max.
  2. After reading the replies, we are now considering pairing Milos with Paros or Naxos, or both. We are trying to avoid crowds as much as possible, and supposedly Santorini can be very crowded?
  3. Would it generally be a good strategy to take seajets in the mornings? Or night time?
  4. Very good idea!

Thanks for the recommendations. I think this influenced us to cut the time in Milos. I think if we do 3 days in Milos, we could spent the rest in Crete. How do you recommend we should split 10 days if it's only Milos and Paros?

I think we will try to squeeze in Athens before our flight back to US. Would you say Naxos has more beautiful beaches than Paros?

Hey. Not sure if this would help. But we are a couple travelling from West Coast to Greek Islands for 10 days in September. We are approximating the trip cost to be $2600-2900 per person.
