Greece for Easter

Hello ~ first let me thank everyone for their responses in the past ~ they have been most helpful and we are getting closer and closer to setting our itinerary !!

Ok, we leave for Athens April 14 ~ arriving April 15. We return on April 27th, so 12 nights in Greece total.

A definite must is Santorini for 3 nights. We would love to ferry over to Izmir if at all possible, so we can tour Ephesus. Is there a ferry that goes to Izmir from another Island? What other island do you suggest we stay for a couple nights? Patmos? (we do not want to go to Mykonos) Also, What is the BEST island to be at for Easter? We heard Athens is not the best, and we really want to experience the best of Easter in Greece. Thanks for your responses !! gina

From Santorini, to get to Turkey you'll have to go to Mykonos for the ferry to Samos. From Samos you can visit Patmos or one of the other nearby Greek islands. There will be a ferry from Samos to Kusadasi, Turkey. There will be a bus to Ephesus. There is no ferry to Izmir, but Kusadasi is closer to Ephesus anyway.

I heard Crete was a great place to be for Easter. My husband and I are going to Greece for 12 days in April and will probably stay in Athens, Santorini, and Crete.
