Hi ​@lia_m , 

Sounds like an awesome plan! For island hopping in Greece, definitely consider places like Santorini for unreal sunsets and beaches, but super touristy. You can also do a boat trip to a volcano and swim in a natural volcanic spring  Naxos also has amazing beaches, great food, and less crowded than Santorini/Mykonos. Paros is known for having chill vibes, fun nightlife, and a good mix of everything. Milos has unreal rock formations and some of the best swimming spots in Greece. if you're into history, Rhodes has some cool medieval sites. 

 

Make sure you

  • Book ferries in advance especially in peak season, as some routes fill up quickly.

  • Check port locations. Some islands have multiple ports, so make sure you're heading to the right one.

  • Be aware of night crossings .Some ferries run overnight, which can save time but might require a cabin for comfort.

  • Pack light since getting on and off ferries with big luggage can be tricky.

  • Check ferry companies' policies. Some may have extra fees for fuel surcharges or seat upgrades.
