Gutten moed. I booked 5 night at the Domes Elounda before the prices jumped. I'm now curious if there really is enough to do in Crete for 5 days (including shabbos) or whether it makes sense to do 2 nights Corfu and then 3 nights Crete.

Any advice would be awesome! Thanks!

Just booked Santorini and Naxos, should be a good time.

Why Naxos over other islands?

I went to Domes of Elounda last year.
Because Crete is quite large and I didn't feel like spending hours driving everyday, so I did 4 days at Domes and 3 days on the west part of the Island, so that I can have short drives and also lots of downtime. If you're not into seating by the pool but rather explore, then i think 5 days might be a bit much, IMHO

When I was there last year, there was a couple who was being picked up by a helicopter for a one way transfer to Santorini. IIRC, it takes about 20-30mn. I have no idea how much it cost but looking back i should have probably done that

A few thousand. Doesn't make sense unless you're on a super tight schedule.

Santorini for views, Mykonos is more happening

From what I have heard Mykonos is the talk of the town but it is overcrowded and most places have lines. Never been, but I can be wrong.

Santorini > Mykonos

Though the Santa Marina hotel in Myk was very nice.

So bottom line if not switching from island to island: 5 nights in Corfu including shabbos or 5 nights at Domes of Elounda including shabbos?

Also if anyone has the number for Chabad/Kosher in Greece that would be great. The number that's published doesn't whatsapp. Thanks

If someone wants to go first time to Greece for 2-3 days is Athens a good idea and nice to get the Greece experience or rather specific just to Santorini ?

Hotel recommendation? Hard to find points availability. To get there from ATH also adds time is it worth for 2-3 days ? Is Mykonos easier to find nicer hotels? Thanks

staying in Airbnb. Hard to find hotels that allow points. Secret view hotel is a nice budget friendly hotel with great views
