Walkable Island ~ 2 hour ferry ride away!
Beyond the Islands recommended, Greece is full of beautiful islands further away, though worth visiting if timing permits! Arriving/Departing Port near Venue: Pireaus, Greece Parker and Stacy can personally recommend: - Ios: (40-90 euros per ticket; 4 hours away) fun night-life, inexpensive beaches; generally budget friendly - Mykonos: (40-90 euros per ticket; 3 hours away) 'Vegas of Europe', world famous beaches; higher price points - Zakynthos: (Flights ~120 euro; Ferry from Killini ~15 euros. Please note Killini Port 3.5 hour drive from Vouliagmeni) Large island with variations on classic Greek cuisine and culture Though there are too many to list them all, other islands recommended are: Santorini: (4-5 hour Ferry) For breathtaking views Paros: (3-4 hour Ferry) For calm coves and relaxed beach bars Naxos: (3-4 hour Ferry) To get away from crowds and tourist prices
Islands to travel by air: Crete: (1 hour flight from ATH) Excellent mix of ancient runes, beaches, and nightlife! Corfu: (1 hour flight from ATH) Great for families! Cyprus: [fun fact- the bride is 1/4 Cypriot!] (2 hour flight from ATH) Some of the best beaches in Europe, museums and archaeological sites; great alternative to Mykonos.
