These are such delightful anecdotes. My husband and I visited Hydra this summer--it’s less than 2 hours by ferry from Athens, making it a very easy trip! We loved it so much that we want to go back next year, but we might have to try some of these islands instead...
Thank you. We’re thinking three islands per year ( like the friends we mentioned), but we really want to do Athens to Sparta, with all the battles and kingdoms along the way. So much to see. We almost headed out for the Maldives this week, but when you look, there just isn’t much there beyond the Eurogloss. Greece is the definition of a deep dive into western culture and civilization, and so easy to get to and around.
True re: Maldives--it’s amazing as long as you want to do nothing! If you do go to Athens, check out the Museum of Ancient Greek Technology. It’s one of my favorite museums anywhere.
