Help! I’ve booked 2 weeks arriving Paris Mar 26 to stay with good friends and then off to Zurich or surround to see more friends and ending in Greece with a departure on April 8, Orthodox Easter. I have nothing booked in between. The purpose of the trip is to visit these friends as well as celebrate my daughter’s birthday...a mother-daughter trip. She picked Greece and Santorini for the last week: April 1-8, and I need help with the details, particular since it is Holy Week! Would like to fly into Santorini (but flights from Switzerland have long layovers and might as well just fly to Athens) and end in Athens bc of the holiday and our departure. Thanks!!

Assuming a flight date of April 1, you could take the 13:05 Swiss Air flight from Zurich to Athens and have just a 3-hour layover (instead of an overnight) before continuing to Santorini on Aegean Airlines and arriving at 20:35. Found on www.skyscanner.com, $260 per person. That way, you'd only have to book an Athens hotel on the later end of the trip, not break it up.
