Tips

If you wish to extend the trip, add an extra day in Santorini to explore the lesser‑known villages of Megalochori and take a wine‑tasting tour at a local vineyard. To shorten the itinerary, consider skipping the National Archaeological Museum in Athens and replacing the evening dinner in Paros with a quick seaside taverna, saving both time and a few euros while still enjoying the highlights.
