I spent a month in Athens in 2004 covering the Olympics. When the Games ended, my husband and I visited a tiny island called Hydra (no cars allowed -- just donkeys!). It was beautiful!

Far too touristy and in the summer also extremely busy. We much preferred Oia and I can really reccomend Nostos apartments. Though, I must say, almost any room looking out across the Caldera will be spectacular! Greece is such a lovely place to visit, and such good food!

We took a bus to Oia on Santorini, it was pretty easy and convenient. No car rental needed. I don't have an interest in Mykonos bc of its reputation as a "party island" but maybe that is just me. thanks for the tips!

Would spend very little time in Athens - just enough to see the important things. One day. Then spend the rest of your time elsewhere. Wish I would have known you were headed to Santorini. There's a really great place to stay - Stelio's Place. The best place we stayed while there and quite affordable - turned out to be a great little secret. There's soooo many neat places to see in Greece. I very much enjoyed our trips to Olympia and Corinth, too. Been there twice. Hope to go back again someday. Agree wholeheartedly.

I'm hoping for an Italian tour on our next assignment, so trips to Greece will be a breeze and we'll have A LOT of time to enjoy it all. I also wanted to tell you that I got your book in the mail today! My husband and I have been enjoying it immensely as I read snippets aloud. Bravo!!!! Lovely!!

It was a highlight and a fabulous meal during two weeks of great food; the best place on the water there. Ammoudi was so romantic in the evening. We stayed in Imerovigli just outside Fira, but if or when I return, I'd like to stay in Oia. We liked the beach at Kamari so much that we spent two full days relaxing there.
