    Not sure how active you are in the coments but me and my soon to be wife (25M 19F) are planning our honey moon in greece. We are from the northwest USA. I have minor international travel experience she doesn't. I love greek history and would love to see some ruins or historical sites. We would also like to explore some of the club/nightlife/festivals. It would likely be in September or October time frame. Anyone is welcome to give advice or like recommended videos.

  • @KathrynJBrooks
    @KathrynJBrooksАй бұрын

    I recommend September. If I were you, I’d start with Santorini for a few nights. There you can see the ancient city of Akrotiri. Stay in Imerovigli. Then if you want some night life go to Mykonos via ferry from Santorini. Also from there do a day trip to Delos. Then maybe Paros for more nightlife and beaches. Stay in Naoussa. Or Milos, or Naxos. Naxos has the Portara; Temple of Apollo. Then I would finish up the trip in Athens, stay in Plaka, visit the Acropolis and other historic sites. Also the National Archeology museum. You can also do a day trip to Delphi or Meteora. 🇬🇷🏺

    Many have! That’s the calmer pool. But, anyone that doesn’t respect the power of the sea could get very hurt or die. They have slash marks there in the rock showing how many have died. During low tide on a calm day it can be safe, but absolutely risky.

    One of my good friends and I were talking about that. She is a nurse too and has a motor home. I have too many expenses and obligations to do that. I only do a few trips a year and only one is usually international. I have to work full time to support my life, my mom, my dogs, and I don't want to be far away from my kids and grandkids for extended periods of time. It would be super cool though! Maybe someday!
