Hi All, I will be flying in to Athens around June 15th, and wanted to spend 5-7 days in Greece. I'd like to visit Ios and do some partying for a couple days, but then want to check out another island to relax for a day or so. Two questions, first, can I make this happen within that given time frame? And what other island would you suggest? (I guess preferably close to Ios and heading back towards Athens.)

If you can get to Ios the same day as arrival in Athens, maybe by flying, spend 3 nights at least, then you may be able to hit one more island for two nights. If you can't manage two nights on an island, then it probably is not worth it. Likely choices: Naxos, Paros, even Mykonos can all be hit on the way to Athens. As easy would be Santorini, but then I would fly back to Athens from there. Plan on being in Athens at least the day before your flight out.
