travel around greek islands

During your three-week holiday you will visit six Greek islands. You start your journey in the historical city of Athens with the Acropolis as a highlight. Then you travel to Mykonos with its whitewashed labyrinth streets full of shops. After Mykonos you will visit some islands that are more quiet. You start at the lovely Paros, then you go to the traditional island of Amorgos, where time seems to have stood still in some mountain villages. The highlight on Amorgos is a monastery that was built on a steep mountainslope. Continue your trip to the tiny island of Koufonissi, you can explore this island by bicycle. The most beautiful beaches of the Cyclades are waiting for you on Naxos, this is also one of the greenest islands of the Cyclades. You'll finish your journey on the picturesque volcanic island of Santorini. Most famous photographs of Greece are shot on Santorini and there is no doubt that you will make many pictures yourself. You fly back home from Santorini, this way you save a nine hour boat trip back to Athens.
