Greek Islands

[Lajobe]

Hi there,

My fiance and I are going to Santorini, Paros and Mykonos for our honeymoon on July 21st (19 days!) and were wondering if any of you have any suggestions of 'must see' things on any of the islands.

Thanks in advance for your help! ;D

First of all, you picked a killer place for a honeymoon-you will have a fantastic time.

"Must sees" are relatively unimportant on the Greek Islands-you will find yourself getting into this pool laying, Greek salad eating kind of routine. It's so relaxing!

Mykonos is hopping-it's the blue and white buildings, tons of little shops, gay beaches and bars (Mykonos is very gay oriented, in case you didn't know like we didn't) and that sort of thing. I loved it.

Paros-quieter but still a great little town. Friendly people, fantastic food.

Santorini-missed it and have kicked myself since!!

Anyway, congrats on the wedding and I'm jealous about the honeymoon!

Hi Kim,

Thanks for the reply and the tips. I'm really looking forward to this trip....especially since I've never been to Europe!

Good to know that there aren't any really 'must sees'. That way we can just relax and have a good time!

I have another tip..

Buy yourself a few things-you sort of forget when you are buying a few gifts for others.

I have these little Greek Island fridge magnets and I love them. It reminds me of there every time I see them!

I also brought home as gifts some honey made on Naxos (a big hit).

One of my favorite things that I've ever bought was 2 prints done by a local artist of the area. We've framed them and will have them forever. (This was in Cinque Terre, Italy but hey, it's still a good idea!)

this is TRUE!!!! i have prints by local artists from most places i've been... you can't help but relive your trip every time you look at them - you can feel hear, smell, taste it all over again!!! i'm still kicking and screaming about not having bought one in greece.... fortunately, i'll be back in about 3 weeks....
