My husband surprised me with a 9-day trip to Italy last week and I loved it so much that I''m considering doing something similar for him for his 30th B-Day this September. The issue is that we have another week-long vacation trip planned in August and I don''t want to completely deplete my vacation days for the September trip (I need at least a few for the holidays).
For those of you who have been to Greece, do you think that 7 days/6 nights or so would be enough? Obviously we''d fly into Athens, but I''d like to do a little island hopping as well. My fear is that I would leave feeling like we''d only seen half of everything we wanted to see and need to come back. In Italy we were able to fit a TON of sightseeing in, but they have fast, reliable trains that leave often, whereas in Greece we''d be taking boats. My other fear is the meltemi winds, which seem to start around mid-September and could affect the boat service.
If it isn''t enough time, I have some backup options (perhaps Ireland or Kaui), but I know several PS members have been to Greece and I''d like to get some opinions on a short, 1-week trip to Greece.
Thank you!!
