Hello Fellow Travellers,
You continue to be my go to when I'm ready to research and make plans for Europe. This year we are planning last minute which could not be helped, but so thankfully our time opened up that we could go!
Last year we flew to Athens and another flight to Paros, then a ferry to Antiparos for 5 nights. Then we took a ferry to Naxos for another 5 nights, then a ferry to Santorini for 2 nights, then flew back Athens for our last 2 nights.
We loved hiking and running along trails surrounded by water. We loved the food, fresh fish, Naxos potatoes!!!!
We want to go back and I've been reading up on Crete.
Here's our thoughts... our dates are flexible, we will have 14-15 nights on the ground in Greece, not including travel days there and back!
Sept 1st: Fly from T.O to Athens
Sept 2nd - Arrive Athens, fly to Crete (Chania or Herkalon?)
Sept 2-7 - Chania or Herkalon (5 nights)
Sept 7-10 - Herkalon (4 nights)
Sept 11-13th - Sougia 3 nights
Sept 14-15 - Athnes (2 nights)
Sept 16th - fly home to T.O
What would you add or take away? We love to hike, drink coffee, rent a car and drive the islands. We do prefer to only travel to 3 places, so this has us going to 4.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Accommodations are welcome too. We are happy with clean, family run little hotels for $200CAD night or less.
Thanks for considering your help,
Kelly
