11 Day Greek Island Girls Trip Guide - Mykonos, Ios, & Paros

Mykonos, Ios, & Paros 

Going on a girls trip in Greece and want the perfect mix of fun, beauty, and authenticness? This is the perfect itinerary for just that! I recommend flying out on a Thursday night (hopefully you have summer Fridays so you can still only take 5 days of work off) and start in Mykonos. This way you have the rest of the trip to relax as much as you want to or party as much as you want to💫

Day 1: Thursday - Departure

• Departure: Depart from Newark (EWR) on an overnight flight to Athens (ATH).
• Connecting Flight: Aim for a flight that arrives in Athens early Saturday morning and take a flight to Mykonos planned 2 hours after your initial flight.
• Hack: Since your first stop is Mykonos, look for flights to London or Paris and use that as the "connecting flight" to Mykonos rather than Athens. Sometimes this can save you $$$.
