We're fairly fit 70+ year old travelers, coming to Greece for the first time for 26 days, late September to mid October. We like nature, history, sunsets and sunrises, sketching, swimming and quiet moments of contemplation. We would really appreciate your experienced thoughts on our proposed itinerary.
Fly to Crete. Hire car. 7 nights
Ferry to Santorini. 2 nights
Ferry to Paros. 5 nights (maybe hire car for one day)
Ferry to Athens. 3 nights
Self Driving tour to Peloponnese. 9 nights
Fly home from Athens
We like the unexpected surprises you encounter on travels and are not so concerned in ticking off the "must-sees." We don't want to feel exhausted and rushed . Less is more in our book!
