Athens, Crete, Santorini – an itinerary
Fly into Athens and spend a couple of days or three going sightseeing, shopping, and going out to eat good food and have some nice drinks in town. And if it is not too hot, you should not miss the Acropolis, which is a truly spectacular ancient monument. Buy a multiple pass online to avoid the long queue and set aside 2-3 hours.
To Crete by plane or ferry
You can get from Athens to Crete in different ways. Domestic flight takes about 2 hours and 45 minutes. The ferry takes a day – 10 hours and 55 minutes.
When in Crete, you have a lot of different experiences to choose from. The famous Palace of Knossos for the culture of Greece and the island of Crete. Hiking in the mountains – or the beautiful Samaria Gorge, that is a hike descending into a gorge and ends by the sea. In Crete, you also find the largest palm beach in Europe and the beach of Elafonissi, known for its pink sand.
Enjoy love and the sweet life in Santorini
Don’t forget to celebrate love and enjoy life. Santorini is perfect for that, with many very nice restaurants and spectacular views of the sunset. The water is crystal clear, and the beauty of the beaches feels like being spoiled. Just what you need for your honeymoon.
Car hire in Greece
Book a rental car in advance so it will be ready for you when you arrive. You can pick up the car at a trusted Athens Greece car hire agency and bring it on the ferry to Crete and Santorini. Or you can wait with the car hire until you reach Crete, especially if you are primarily enjoying the town of Athens and not the surroundings. AddCar Rental is present in both Athens, Crete, and Santorini (and other Greek islands), so you can also rent in one place and drop off in another.
