This is another hard trip for me due to very time limit. I just started working last year so I could take very short vecation. Anyway, I would like to cover all places. If anybody follow my route, I would like to recommend to spare at least 10 days ++
Length of stay : 7 days
| Day 1-3 | Santorini | By Ferry: ANEK Lines (http://www.anek.gr/) |
| Day 4 | Nafplion, Mycenae, Olympia | By rental car (270 Km, 4 hrs) |
| Day 5 | Olympia, Delphi | By rental car (230 Km, 4.30 hrs) |
| Day 6 | Kalambaka, Kastraki, Meteora, Athens | By rental car (350 Km, 4.30hrs) |
| Day 7 | Athens | Returned a car to Hertz, Athens |
| Day 8 | Athens | Train |
| Day 9 | Athens | Fly to Spain |
Day1-3 Bangkok-Doha-Athens-Santorini
Qatar is one of the best airlines I ever used. The price is very reasonable (Actually it's the cheapest I could find) but the quality, service and in-flight entertainment is so great. I think it's cheap because I need to transit at Doha for 3 hrs. Anyway, it's cheap ^^
In the air
After arrived Athens around 6pm, we took a bus to the port to get on the ferry, Anek Lines, to Santorini. The port is called "Piraeus". We booked the ticket online here http://www.anek.gr/ There are many kinds of seats for your choice but we picked aircraft type seat which is unfixed seats in the big room you can sit or sleep wherever you want. I recommend you to bring some blanket to put it on the floor so you can lie down on the floor.
If the ferry depart as scheduled, using the aircraft type seat should be no problem. The schedule is the ferry depart at 22.30 and arrive Santorini 3.30 in the next morning. But here, the ferry was 5 hrs delayed. Imagin you took 10 hrs flight to Athens and arrive the port around 20.00 and expected to be on the ferry at 22.30. We have to wait for the ferry until 2.30 AM!!!! My god!!! We just found the cafe to sit and wait because it's quite cold outside. So it was my long last journey.
( On the way back, the ferry was 5 hrs delayed too....)

| Black Beach near hotel |
We rented the car to drive around in the first day and bought 1 day trip to Volcanic island in the second day.
Santorini is a volcanic island in the Cyclades group of the Greek islands. It is located between Ios and Anafi islands. Santorini is famous for its volcanic landscape, gray and red beaches, dazzling white houses, terraces with panoramic sea views and stunning sunsets in Oia town.There are naturally fantastic beaches such as the beach of Perissa, maybe the best beach in Santorini, the black pebble beach ofKamari, white beach and red beach.

First day
We started the day driving to Fira to have lunch and then continue driving to Oia. Because in the second day after the trip to Volcanic Island we will be dropped at Oia to see sunset so today we drive to the edge of the island at which lighthouse located to watch sunset. You can find the lighthouse on the map you get from hotel. There are many sunset spot noted in the map just pick one ^^ I believe it's beautiful from any spot.

| Beautiful Sunset |
It was amazing. It's very romantic place. Unfortunately, I went there with my friends. We drove back to the hotel to return the car and had dinner at restaurant around the hotel. Hotel is very close to the beach you can find many nice restaurants there.
Second day
Second day, we bought 1 day trip to volcanic island. You can jump to swim out of the boat.The boat will stop and let you swim in the hot spring so please bring your swimming suit. On the island you can take a donkey ride to the top of mountain which will offer you a panoramic view of volcano's caldera
