How many days you will help you dictate how many islands you would like to visit.<\/p>\n<p>I would say you need at least two days minimum per island to just get see the highlights, however, three to four days are ideal.<\/p>\n<p>Something you have to consider is getting around the islands may take half a day.<\/p>\n<p>Waiting in line for the ferry or plane, transporting to your next island, waiting for hotel check-in are all things to take into consideration.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a week in to visit, you could experience two islands thoroughly, but adding in a third would be pushing it. In two weeks you could experience four islands.<\/p>\n<h3>Two Week Sample Itinerary<\/h3>\n<p>I spent<strong> two weeks in Greece<\/strong> and decided to visit four islands. I landed in Athens and flew out to the furthest island of <a href=\"https:\/\/danaberez.com\/oia-santorini-travel-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Santorini<\/a> and then island hopped toward Athens.<\/p>\n<p>After spending four days in Santorini, I then took a ferry to <a href=\"https:\/\/danaberez.com\/milos-greece-travel-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Milos<\/a> for four days. <a href=\"https:\/\/danaberez.com\/paros-travel-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paros<\/a> for three days was next on the list, followed by <a href=\"https:\/\/danaberez.com\/mykonos-travel-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mykonos<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This itinerary allowed me to see a mix of the Greek Islands that offered something different.

Now what some people don&#8217;t realize is your flight or ferry between the Greek Islands can be delayed or canceled due to high winds.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully I didn&#8217;t have any issues with my ferries, but I have heard stories to always be a bit flexible if something were to go wrong.<\/p>\n<p>While a flight ticket may be cheaper than a ferry, I personally preferred to take ferries around the islands because you don&#8217;t have to show up 2+ hours ahead of time or pay extra for your luggage.<\/p>\n<p>I also brought a massive bag that weighed over 50lbsand would have even paid more in baggage fees.&nbsp;I also paid $40-60 on average per ferry transfer.<\/p>\n<p>If you are headed during high season, it is recommended to book in advance as ferries to avoid the risk of selling out. I pre-booked all my ferries through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ferryhopper.com\/en\/?aff_uid=dnbrz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Ferry Hopper<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This website allows you to see accurate time tables and routes the ferries run on which helped massively when choosing which islands to visit. You can check the Ferry Hopper routes below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"310\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ferryhopper.com\/en\/embed\/xsmall?color=01C3A7\" width=\"390\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Booking Accommodations<\/h2>\n<p>There are no mega-resorts in the Greek Islands as we have in the US. Meaning most of the hotels are boutique-style with a limited amount of rooms.<\/p>\n<p>Those epic hotels you&#8217;ll find on Instagram do book up in advance. If you are looking for a unique place to stay I would highly suggest booking it as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>The earlier you book you can find better deals and more options for your dates.

Food and beverage were the second most expensive per island. Nice dinners were around $100 USD.<\/p>\n<h2>How To Get Around The Greek Islands<\/h2>\n<p>This is very dependent on the Island that you visit, however, if you do decide to visit a more rural island-like Milos you are going to have to rent a car. I would pre-book the car rental in advance as models can sell out.<\/p>\n<p>I learned this the hard way in Milos when the only automatic car they had left was a large 4&#215;4 jeep that also costed more than the smaller automatic cars they had.<\/p>\n<p>However, I did not find it necessary to rent a car in Mykonos or Santorini. It really depends if you want to see more of the surrounding island.<\/p>\n<p>An option would be to rent an ATV or car for just one day to explore around. I did this in Santorini and explored the <a href=\"https:\/\/danaberez.com\/santorini-travel-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">black sand beaches<\/a> and other areas outside of Oia.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"1290\" data-carousel-extra='null' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" >\n<div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 1290px;
