I would skip Mykonos. Unless your into non-stop party. Better to go straight to Athens, rest up & visit the sights. <BR> <BR>Enjoy your trip! You will love Santorini & Naxos. <BR> <BR>

Personally, I would not skip Mykonos. I'm not a party person and I still enjoyed the island. I do think you could narrow down the list a bit and spend more time in fewer places. You'll be spending a great deal of your vacation packing, unpacking, and traveling with your itinerary.

We 6 friends spent 10 glorious days w/ a private skipper on a boat going to 8 islands in the Cyclades. SKIP Mykanos. Yuk. Paros was our favorite, and all of the "S" islands- Sifnos, Serifos, Syros. The people are so friendly, the snorkeling is wonderful, everything is so clean, the food is great. Wish we were going back in the near future! Enjoy!

<BR>22 days in greece! you'll love it. i i also agree you have alot planned. crete, santorini & paros meteroa & athens would be my suggestions. however, when you get there your travle times may determine where & when..the monastaries at meteroa were not opened all day long last sept. don't know about high season. i have been to greec last 3 sept. you may email me for suggestions on what to pack (besides clothes) for 3 weeks.long skirts are the best for airflow & cooler than shorts.i hope you enjoy greece as much as i do.
