Check out my recommended travel itinerary for 2 weeks in Greece!

[greggd12]

I have decided to share an itinerary that I send to all of my friends who want to go to Greece. I have travelled to quite a few places around the country, and feel like I have a good idea of where everyone should visit on their first trip. Of course, I always recommend a two week minimum one visiting Greece. There's just so many things to do, especially if you like the beaches and sightseeing. Let me know what you think!

1. Land in Athens and stay for 4 days (Acropolis, Monastiraki, Thisseio, Glyfada, Kolonaki, and Lykabitos are a must)
2. Spend 3 days in Paros enjoying the beaches and nightlife (Paros has the best of Santorini and Mykonos without being crowded or expensive)
3. Spend 2 days in another island of your choice that is not in the Cyclades (honorable mentions include Corfu, Lefkada, Skiathos)
4. Spend the remaining 5 days driving through Crete and visiting Chania and Rethymno (Elafonisi Beach is a must)

This looks like a great itinerary! I agree, you need at least 5 days in Crete, and the Athens area is definitely great to explore. I haven't been to the other places you mentioned, but I heard they were great.

This is really great - I've done something similar but I didn't end up at any Cyclades that particular time, and I spent longer on Crete. Anything that you do in Greece will always be a winner!

Crete is always an excellent choice, I love spending at least a week there with my rental car hopping around from city to city.
