The most famous of which is the Acropolis, and I would highly recommend the skip-the-line ticket if you are headed there! Other top points of interest in Athens are: The Temple of Zeus, the bustling central markets and grabbing food in Psirri Square! Where to stay in Athens But if you have some time to spare or are particularly into history, there are many interesting archaeological sites worth seeing. If you’re short on time, you can definitely head straight out to the islands. Once in Athens, you can get a reasonably priced flight into Santorini (only about 40 minutes), or take a ferry (5-8 hours). Still, Athens in my opinion is a must-see for a first-timer to Greece, so I like staying there for a night if you’ve never been.

The best international flights almost always run through Athens, however, you can fly directly into Santorini from several major cities, if you’d prefer. The islands of Greece are popular for honeymooners, history buffs, families, and young collegiates alike! But with hundreds of islands to choose from, where do you even go first? From gorgeous white buildings built into the cliffs and breathtaking blue-domed churches that seem straight out of a storybook, to luxury hotels with infinity pools and all day beach parties, what’s the best Greece breakdown? Here is my perfect first-timer’s 10-day itinerary that hits all the major highlights of the Cyclades! Get ready for a bucket-list worthy trip! Where to Go in Greece: The itinerary Athens (1 Day) Santorini (3-4 Days) Paros or Naxos (3 days) Mykonos (2-3 Days) Day 1: Athens Which is why I wanted to write this post. Lately, I’ve been getting a ton of DM’s and questions on where to go in Greece for a honeymoon, an anniversary trip, a family trip, you name it.

Alright, Jetsetters, there’s nothing quite like island hopping through the Greek Isles.
