First trip to Greece!! So we are finalizing our itinerary for Greece (June 2020), 15 nights exploring 4 island of the Cyclades. (Milos / Santorini / Ios / Paros). We will spend a few days in Turkey before we arrive in Greece (Athens). It will only be me and my husband (both age 30) travelling on a tight budget.
According to flight schedules we will arrive in Athens at 20:45, so we would probably have to spend the 1st night in Athens (hear the Plaka area is best). Or should we stay close to the port? Any other suggestions?
I know people suggest to do Athens at the end of your trip. We will do another night at the end, but would refer to spend both nights at the end.
• Our itinerary as follow:
1 night Athens (due to late arrival)
Ferry to Milos: 4 nights in Milos
Ferry to Santorini: 2 nights in Fira and 1 night in Oia
Ferry to Ios: 3 nights
Ferry to Paros: 3 nights
Ferry back to Athens: 1 nights
We only fly out the next night at 22:50 which gives as a full day to explore the Acropolis (not interested in Museums)
• **Not sure about the order in which we should explore the 4 Islands – Any recommendations? (We would like to do it the most cost effective way)
• Is it possible to get Ferry schedules for June 2020 in order to do proper planning?
• Best site to make accommodation bookings for the islands? In the past I have always used Booking.com
• Best site for Ferry bookings? Seems like the ferries is quite expensive.**
Comments will be much appreciated. Thanks in Advance :)
