Appreciate this man. Will look into all of this. Kind of scrambling now since I bought it last minute and trying to figure everything out in like 2 weeks lol

Island hopping might be the move. The Aegean is beautiful, seeing the water and the scattered islands whirring by as the ferry speeds on is worth the ticket alone
As for specific islands, I love Crete but it can be a 9 hour ferry ride straight from Peiraias, flying would be the move if you’re trying to make a straight shot to it. But again, if you’re island hopping you can make your way down. Would be more of an investment tho
