I have booked most of my accommodations for a September trip to Slovenia and Croatia. I was hoping to spend 3 nights in Santorini (accommodation is also booked) before meeting a Rick Steves tour starting in Athens. I had searched for possible flights as I started booking but now realize I must have misread the arrival time. I want to fly on Sept. 20th and everything seems to arrive after 10:00 pm. I am a 69 year old female travelling alone so that will not work for me. All of my accommodations can be cancelled without penalty but I would rather not cut my stay short in either location. Any ideas?

You are trying to fly to Santorini from Dubrovnik on Sept.20?
Although Croatia is relatively close to Greece, it is not easy to go from one country to the other.
Or spend the extra days on the island of Korcula in Croatia if you are not already booked there.
We tried doing this combination, Croatia and Greece, years ago and gave up. Maybe a travel agent can help you to make it work.

You looking at probably two or three flights to make this journey. Is it worth it?

This is a bit off season as well. Would it be possible for you to fly on the 19th instead? Then there are a few good connections with Aegean via Athens.

Thanks Badger. I will try and change my Dubrovnik accommodations to make that work.

I received a message from the Rick Steves team with great times to fly to Athens on the 20th but I cannot find that on expedia, sky scanner etc. Where should I look to book. Then I could take a ferry to Santorini instead.
I have just edited my post to say that the times you provided are from Santorini to Athens not Dubrovnik. Thanks for trying to help but that explains why I can’t find them.

Suki, I was wanting Dubrovnik to Santorini. I have decided to leave a day early and have booked a daytime flight on the 19th instead. Thanks for your help.
