Mykonos and Santorini, Greek Islands

The Perfect Greek Island Escapes

Mykonos, Greece

Pack your flip flops and hop on a ferry to Mykonos and Santorini. These are the most famous of the Greek islands, and you'll know why as soon as you approach their ports. The whitewashed buildings with their blue doors, the blue-domed churches, the charming windmills, and the azure waters welcome you to these international hotspots where it's all about feeling like a Greek god or goddess.

Show off your body catching some sun at the beach during the day in Mykonos, and show off your tan at night at a buzzing bar. Continue Greek island hopping and move on to Santorini where its spectacular setting is the perfect romantic escape and the postcard Greek island experience.

Think of Mykonos as a playground of the hot and fabulous (and those who aspire to be), and of Santorini as a honeymoon destination. You have not been to Greece until you've been to either of them.
