I've posted about twice on this forum lol, but I think I've finally came up with a doable, realistic itinerary after much time spent researching the cyclades.
My boyfriend and I are both 23, and have a wide range of interests. We want beautiful beaches, landscapes, picturesque villages, nightlife, preferably friendly prices, unique spots, hiking, but we really don't care too much for museums or historical sites. I doubt we will visit any museums actually.
We have about 15/16 day from mid August to September, nothing is booked yet so we can be flexible and maybe even go late August into early September if you recommend ? Our budget is from $3000-$5000. We usually always use Airbnb.
Day 1 - fly into Athens and take a flight into Santorini that afternoon or evening
Day 2,3 - Santorini (3 nights )
Day 4,5,6,7,8 - Naxos
with day trip to Mykonos
Day 9,10,11,12,13 - Paros
with day trip to Antiparos
Day 12,15 - Athens
What do you guys think ? also should we book in ferries or boat tours in advance ? if so what link would you recommend ?
