Hello travelers. In this post I will talk about my itinerary in Greece, where I felt like a real Goddess (lol)! Let me explain… that place is a true paradise on earth, we felt like we were in heaven.
Jokes aside, I went to Greece about 10 years ago, then they were struck by the crisis and I confess I was a little worried about what we would find there. On the contrary, we were surprised by an incredible country, full of life and joy. Of course, I’m talking about the most famous Greek islands, Mykonos and Santorini, and as touristic places it’s much easier for them to avoid the crisis, but we also went to Athens for a couple of hours and we were amazed as well.
We stayed just for a few hours in the capital due to a long flight delay between Split and Athens, which cost us our precious Saturday night, that was supposed to be taken in one of the several trendy rooftops of this historic city. I won’t recommend any cause we weren’t able to try one, but some of our friends who were already there went to some of the bars around our hotel, Coco-Mat Athens (highly recommended), and they said it was a great experience. In a few hours, we could see that the city is well developed, the roads from the airport to the center are well maintained, everything seems to work perfectly.
So we went back to the airport to take a 40-minutes flight to dreamy Santorini. We would have just about 48 hours there, but I honestly declare they were some of the most amazing hours of my whole life. We were absolutely overwhelmed by the beauty of that incredible island. Fantastic indeed! Even much more beautiful in person than through pictures.
In the exclusives posts about Santorini I will tell you everything you should know before you go. We stayed for two nights, that is a good number, but it’s better if you can stay for three nights to enjoy every detail with no hurry.
Our final destination was Mykonos. Between islands we took a fast ferry boat (2h 30mins trip), an easy way to move around the Greek Islands.
Mykonos surprised us so much. We had been to the island before, but this time we were really impressed by their high level services and elegance. Everything works fine, from the beautiful new port to the stylish restaurants, luxurious and charming hotels, not to mention the wonderful famous beach clubs. When you are there, you understand why the European high society heads to the island every summer. In my post about Mykonos (coming soon) I will tell you more about the famous beach clubs and some interesting restaurants and places that we have been too.
