Hi all!
My wife and I are taking our first trip to Greece, landing in Athens on 4/1. Our daughter is studying abroad and we will have time to travel with her. We fly out on 4/14.
We have secured a house in the Plaka for the entire time, however are questioning if this is a good strategy. We have planned to use it as a home base and do a couple of overnight trips while there.
We are planning one trip to Metora with 2 nights so we can also see Delphi.
We had also considered a night or 2 in Santorini or Crete, but are somewhat concerned that the islands won’t be very fun in Early April.
We do have flexibility with our accommodations in the event we wanted to change course.
We realize we won’t be hanging on the beach in early April, but are the islands still a fun side trip before Easter or should we consider something different??
Also, any experience with the religious services for Good Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday are all welcome. We figure that we should be in Athens for those days.
