We are taking the Best of Turkey 13 day tour which ends in Kusadasi, Turkey . We can take a ferry to Samos and then would like to spend another 5 days on a Greek island before heading to Athens. Looking for recommendations.

Have you been to Athens before? Or planning on spending a few days there after islands? The plane from Samos goes to Athens. Spend at least one night on Samos in Pythagorion and relax from the tour. Get early morning flight as the airport is close to that town. Then you could maybe grab a same day flight to Santorini, Naxos or Paros.

Have you already scheduled some time to see Athens itself, or would that be part of the 5 days? I’m assuming you’re flying home from Athens, which means you should be there the night before your flight.
Also — will this be your first visit to Greece? What time of year? And is there anything you’re particularly interested in seeing/doing on an island? The more information we have, the more helpful we can be.

Samos is connected to many islands (which in turn are connected to Athens), like Lesvos, Ikaria or Chios for example, but it depends on how you want to spend your vacation days and how long . All of these islands have great beaches, interesting villages and local delicacies. What would you like to do or see, though?
