There are thousands of Greek Islands and many to
discover that are inhabited and inviting to tourists
On one trip a few years ago we visited Mykonos,
Santorini, and Paros. 
If you are comfortable be sure to rent a scooter or ATV to get
around the islands and see the beauty.
Be careful to have your meds and money. There may not be an ATM
or pharmacy available.
Drink plenty of Mythos Beer while on the island.
Very tasty. 
The Mykonos nightlife is INSANE - be sure to
check out the DJ listing before your trip in order to get tickets
to a show you want. 
Santorini is a romantic, volcanic island full of colorful beaches
everywhere.
Paros, unlike Mykonos and Santorini, does NOT have an airport. It
is a little harder to get to but well worth it. Built around two
bays, charming interior village.
The private sailing cruise company we used in
Paros was M Zeppos - They are extremely professional and make it
a great day out. 
Be careful using Google Maps on the island of Corfu. It wasn’t
always correct.
Perdika Village is a small fishing village
located on the island of Aegina, Greece. 
Check out Matt’s hikes in this video from atop
Perdika
Be careful along the beaches and coastline with rocks and sea
urchins. We suggest these water shoes to help
you enjoy your time.

before we ate them . 
Check out the drunken mussels I made that we ate
on the roof of our hotel with friends. 



Make sure you understand what to pack. Pack Less! Here is a great
post on everything we packed in a single
backpack. 
You can’t do everything when you travel. Be sure to listen to the
Traveler’s Guilt podcast to understand that it’s
okay to chill out.
