This deal is based on 2 adults flying out to Athens from London Stansted on 15th August returning on 25th August. You will be staying for 2 nights in Athens, 3 nights in Paros, 2 nights in Naxos and 3 nights in Santorini.
Trip breakdown
15th August - You will leave Stansted early morning on August 15th landing around 12pm giving you the whole day to explore Athens! I've chosen the Cosmos hotel because it's location is good for the short time in Athens and easy access to the port.
16th August - Check out early and head for the port, the ferry to Paros leaves at 0645 and it's a beautiful sail which takes about 4 hours. Once arrived in Paros head to the hotel Villa Melina which has a lovely pool and close to the beach
17th - 18th August - Enjoy Paros
19th August - Check out and head to the port, the ferry to Naxos leaves about 1145 and takes just under an hour. I've chosen the Rea hotel which is in Naxos town, this island is full of history and beautiful beaches.
20th August - Enjoy Naxos
21st August - Check out and head to the port, the ferry to Santorini leaves at 1250. Once you arrive in Santorini hop on the bus into Fira and then to Perissa where the hotel is located. I've chosen the hotel Villa Spyros which has great reviews and is located close to the beautiful black beach.
22nd - 23rd August - Enjoy Santorini
24th August - Head to the airport to head back to Athens, the flight only takes around an hour, spend the rest of the day exploring Athens, I've chosen the same hotel that you will be staying in at the beginning of the trip for convenience!
25th August - Head to the airport for the early flight back to London.
If you wanted to spend longer in Santorini there is a flight to Athens which arrives at around 1am, you also wouldn't need a hotel in Athens as you'd only have 5 hours between your flights so you could stay in the airport, the choice is yours!
I've done similar to this trip twice now and I love it, can't beat island hopping around Greece!

If by 'next to' you mean 1000 miles away then yes, these islands are 'next to' Syria.
Also you seem to have concern for destitute families (concern that extends to avoiding them at all cost) but give no thought to the fact your attitude, if held en masse, would amount to a boycott of these islands as a tourist location further destroying Greece's economy, making Greek families and businesses destitute and (thus) also reducing the already crippled ability of Greece to cater/shelter effectively to the tens of thousands of refugees/migrants arriving at it's shores.

My girlfriend wants to go to Lesbos (I think that's what she said) for some reason. Maybe it's to help refugees or something... not sure 'cos she's not talking to me atm :neutral_face:

A week in boot camp would be more relaxing, what's with the hectic schedule!?

Wow If you thought like that where would you ever go
seems like some people don't read the news and have a perception of location
these islands are miles away from where the migrants have traveled too
I suggest Bognor Regis for you this year!!

looks like a great way to explore Greece, is there any meals including with the hotel stays or is it just Bnb?

It's just room only or B&B you won't find many hotels in Greece that do meals except maybe a pool bar, Greece is fairly cheap to eat out though :smile:
