I am visiting Greece for the first time with my 2 girlfriends May 29th - June 7th. We land in Athens are going to Santorini first, then Paros, back to do the final 2 days in Athens. I am looking for recommendations of places to stay. We are mainly looking at Imerovigli for our Santorini stay, and then in Paros we are unsure, but were thinking Naousa? In Paros, we want to be close to the beach and nightlife, but we are looking at mid-range budget - preferably between $200-$500 per night. In Imerovigli, we want a great view.
Things we want to do at some point on our trip - boat day, wineries (I heard Santorini is better for this), a sunset caldera dinner, beach day with maybe a little bit of a party scene or at least lively - doesn't have to be Mykonos vibes. And then of course we want to just walk and explore the different areas. If you have any suggestions on places to stay, eat, activities to book, etc - we're all ears!
And for reference, we're three girls in our late 30s, early 40s. Love good food, wine, some partying or something more upbeat, but also will want some more laid-back time. We want to experience the views in Santorini, and we love beaches and boating as well.
Thanks in advance for any tips or suggestions!
