How Many Days to Spend in the Greek Islands
Choosing which of Greece's islands to visit doesn't need to be a daunting task. Even if you're only in the country for 24 hours, you can make a day trip from Athens to one of the beautiful isles of the Saronic Gulf. Then again, three days are perfect to experience a famous postcard island like Santorini or Mykonos. And in just over a week, you can combine the aforementioned options with Naxos' white-sand beaches and the Venetian towns of Crete, plus embark on walking tours of the whitewashed villages of Syros.
