7 Islands in 10 Days — My Cyclades Journey

#greekislandhopping Here’s my quick itinerary: Athens → Syros → Mykonos → Paros → Naxos → Ios → Santorini. I planned everything around ferry schedules, booked budget hostels, and made it all happen under €600. Each island offered something unique: nightlife in Mykonos, chill time in Paros, ancient history in Naxos, party energy in Ios. Travel light, stay flexible, and soak in the sun. You don’t need a luxury budget to hop the Greek islands — just a good plan and some curiosity.
