Why come all the way to Greece for a weekend! Here are some suggestions for some Island hopping.
Antiparos
Antiparos is a favourite in the Koumoundouros Family. It is a 7-minute boat ride from Paros (Punta) and is an ideal island for laid back holidays. Tom Hanks has a place here!
There are some great beaches around the town, head to Soros beach for a bed + beach bar. The Beach House is a real gem with an amazing restaurant. The town is small but full of fantastic places, head down an alleyway to Taverna Klimataria or Lollo’s and drink at Little Frog.
Mykonos
The trademark of the island is the beautiful traditional windmills in front of Little Venice. Mykonos is one of the most famous Greek islands for its cosmopolitan atmosphere and vivid nightlife! No wonder why it’s widely known as the “Ibiza of Greece”!
With emerald, azure or deep blue waters, pebbly or sandy, the island has epic beaches for every taste! To name a few, Ornos, Paradise, Platis Gialos and Lia. Stay in Chora
Santorini
Once you set your foot in Santorini, you’ll feel like entering a whole new world. A world where all the shades of red create unreal sunsets, Santorini caldera offers the most dramatic sea views you’ve ever seen! Located on the southern side of the Aegean sea, the island was created after a huge eruption of a volcano, occurred in the 17th century B.C.
Stay in Thera or Imerovigli and don’t come for the beaches. Go wine tasting at Gavalas Winery, Eat at Amoudi Fish Tavern/ Metaxi Mas / Amoudi Fish Tavern / Aegean Restaurant & drink cocktails at Naso.
