I was browsing for flights to Greece, as I always do, and they're super cheap right before Christmas! I'm thinking of traveling Dec 6-20 because everyone at my company takes their vacation from Dec 23-Jan 2 so there's basically no work to do anyways!! Is anyone thinking of hopping on these deals?

Thanks for posting! I was thinking of staying local because of the new covid variant. I'm scared they're changing the rules

This is a good find - if we wait too long we might be stuck with expensive fares after the sales are over!
Where do you guys usually look for tickets online? I use websites of low-cost airlines most of the time, but I noticed that some of them may change the price of the ticket if you look at it several times in your browser.
I need a website to help me get a broader picture of everything and help me find the cheapest business class flights 40 %. I know it’s much easier to find economy class tickets, but I want to try a business class flight at least once. But I don’t have much money for that and was looking for a discounted round-trip ticket.

I find the tickets through google flights, sky scanner or kayak but these days I always book directly through the airline so that I can change the flight free of charge (airlines have started doing this since covid).

It's so hard to plan ahead but to save money this is what needs to be done haha. Thanks for sharing this tip!
Exactly, if you don't plan, you plant to fail!

Is Marathon a good day trip from Athens?

I've been planning an itinerary for my upcoming trip to Athens, and I've always been fascinated by the historical significance of Marathon. Considering its role in ancient history and the famous battle that took place there, it seems like a place that might be worth a visit.
However, I'm on the fence about dedicating a whole day trip to Marathon. From what I understand, it isn’t too far from Athens, but I'm trying to weigh up whether the experience is worthy compared to spending that time exploring more within the city itself.
Has anyone made the day trip to Marathon from Athens? Was it an enriching experience, and what are the can't-miss sights? Is the archeological site/museum there engaging enough for a history buff? Also, how about the logistics – is it easy to get to by public transport, or would you suggest renting a car or going with a tour?
I am just trying to decide if it's worth it, or if I should plan to stay overnight. Thanks!

I am working on planning a yacht trip through Greece. I live it because I am in total control of the itinerary and what goes on, unlike booking a cruise or something. There's enough of us in the group to make this a super affordable trip.
I am developing am itinerary - thought I'd run it by you:
What do you think? Anything to add or subtract? I have about 10 days.
I am developing am itinerary - thought I'd run it by you:
- Athens to Mykonos: Begin in the historic port of Athens and make your way to the cosmopolitan island of Mykonos. Dock at Agios Ioannis beach and take a stroll through Little Venice.
- Mykonos to Naxos: Naxos awaits, with its marble gateway to nowhere and beautiful beaches. Try the local kitron liqueur for a true taste of the island.
- Santorini: Sail to the iconic island of Santorini, where the sunset from Oia is second to none. Enjoy a swim in the hot springs of Palea Kameni and taste some of the best wines in Greece.
- Ios to Folegandros: Keep the vibes high in Ios known for its lively atmosphere, then find tranquility in Folegandros, where the untouched Mediterranean prevails.
- Return to Athens: Wrap up your adventure with a pitstop in Syros, the capital of the Cyclades. Its charm lies in its austere yet handsome neoclassical buildings and the stunning Aegean views.
What do you think? Anything to add or subtract? I have about 10 days.
