Hello dears plz help ������

We are 3 to 4 couples ( between 28 and 34 years old ) kind of confused about our summer 2014 trip.
we have decided to choose greece as a summer holiday.
We booked a flight to santorini in the 26th of july and we were planning to stay in santorini 3-4 or even 5 days.
And we booked the returning flight from crete on the 3rd of august.
Coz we thought to visit santorini then crete( specifically malia).
But unfortunately, during our research and after reading many reviews and topics about Malia we are kind of not sure if it is the right place to have fun and enjoy our night life or not.
The result from all the reviews is that malia is a very crowded place with british young people who transfer the night life into a whole disaster, always drunk, very dirty acts, fights,ambulances, police , etc...

What we r pretty sure about is santorini. And we dont mind staying there 4or 5 nights and the 4 or 3 other nights in another island( not sure which one yet)
Santorini is from top islands in the world where u can enjoy romantic nights with a splendid view , beautiful beaches and fira's good night life.

Concerning the 2nd destination we r confused between Malia, mykonos or Naxos.
And what we really want from the 2 nd destination is a beautiful island with beautiful party beaches and at the same time relaxation if we want with a good night life; We want to enjoy clubbing and dancing till the morning with young decent people.
So if we will not go to malia we have to change our returning tickets.

Plz helppppp us to find the 2nd destination among the 3 islands ( mykonos , naxos or malia) or if u have any other choices not far from santorini's or mykonos area ����

nana1234,

You should start a new thread since this dates from 2011. Mykonos is known for its partying during the summer months. Naxos is a bit quieter. Both have beautiful beaches. If you are serious about one or the other, you'd better book something soon since those are peak summer months in Greece.

Naxos: more relaxing, less touristic, cheaper, more authentic, bigger island, more beaches.
Mykonos: more vibrant, more bars, more restaurants, more expensive, too mainstream

I suggest you Mykonos, it is a destination for everyone, whether for those who want to go out or for those who want to relax !!
Mykonos has very nice beaches and restaurants and hotels that have vip services in Mykonos and I think you need them in this case, you can also rent a motorcycle in Mykonos and take a tour on the island to watch the sunset !!
If you then go to Santorini then again I will say Mykonos, and when you do a good family you come to Naxos which is a quiet destination !!
