[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just did a family Greece trip in June with hs & college age kids. Who’s traveling in your group? While I loved Santorini, I wouldn’t stay there for half your nights unless you really want to relax and watch beautiful sunsets (and have a plentiful budget). We booked Aegean Air for island flights — pay a little more for flexible flights and it’s really easy to change online. 3 or 4 flights per day. Athens can easily be 1-2 full days. Delphi is a good day trip but we skipped it mostly because we did Santorini and Crete - and that was plenty and perfect. [/quote]

PP here-- it is JUST the husband and I!!! That is part of why we are leaning towards a slower pace. Our 8 & 5 year old will be at home with grandparents. We did Italy like 7 years ago, and jumped around a lot, which was nice to see so much, but, left us kind of ragged by the end. There is so much to see in Greece, and it does pain me to devote our trip to just Santorini and Athens, but, we are hoping to restore/recharge a bit with this trip. [/quote]
Then Santorini should be perfect for you to relax. Be sure to do the caldera hike and have lunch in Oia. In Athens, you can spend much of a day doing the Acropolis Tour and New Museum. There are so many cool neighborhoods and great food in Athens, I’d personally skip the full day that Delphi takes (I’m a minority — but so much ruins!). The changing of the guards was unexpectedly fun to see. (Especially if you’ve seen the change at Buckingham Palace). [/quote]

PP here--thanks. Thoughts on where to stay in Santorini? Torn between securing a place with a view in Imerovigli or Oia, or, a place in Megalochori with no view, but, a rental car included and nice space and just counting on catching the views at dinner, etc. [/quote]
