Greece is two trips in one: the classical mainland and the island Aegean. An AI Greece planner sequences the Acropolis at opening, the ferry chain through the Cyclades, and Santorini's caldera — routed around the meltemi winds.
Planning figures: Athens ~€95/day, the islands €120–180 depending on fame — with ferries €40–80 per leg.
Destination, dates, travel style, interests and budget — one form, one click, one day-by-day plan you can keep refining.
Plan your Athens trip with AI →The generated plans route one way through the Cyclades — Athens → Naxos → Paros → Santorini — with ferry legs scheduled as half-days and the beach days between. The meltemi wind check runs first for July–August sailings.
The honest trade: Santorini's fame versus Naxos's value. Generate both and compare the ferry-per-beach ratio.
Relaxed produces the beach-and-taverna shape; cultural adds the Delphi and Peloponnese days; foodie routes to the islands that eat best — Naxos's potatoes, Paros's fish, Santorini's fava.
Athens ~€95/day; islands €120–180 depending on fame — Santorini the price leader, Naxos the value pick.
Santorini for the caldera and the views; Mykonos for the beaches and the parties. Naxos and Paros for the value.
May–June and September–early October — warm seas, open hotels, thinner crowds.
Three with real days; four is the maximum before ferry fatigue wins.
High-season Cycladic ferries yes; the meltemi winds can delay July–August sailings.
Start from a Athens plan or any destination you have in mind — the itinerary adapts to your inputs.
