We are thinking about going to Naxos. We want a similar vibe to Mykonos but without it being so expensive, we want to meet people and have fun. Do you think Naxos is the right place? Ios is full of 18 year olds, we really really wanted to do paros but it’s just too far and complicated to get to.

EDIT: £1500 each

My friend wants to spend this amount all in on flights, Airbnb and spending money. I like to go to the luxurious beach clubs and really nice restaurants as well as quiet days that don’t cost a lot as well. Do you think we will struggle to achieve this without our budget or do you think it’s doable?

My friend and I are planning a six day escape to the Greek islands, but we are stuck on where to go.

we are both in our early 20s and female. We definitely want to avoid the massive crowds of eighteen year olds in Ios. Paros was my top choice, but the journey from London Gatwick is a total nightmare with no direct flights. I am just not willing to spend over seven hours traveling.

The vibe I am chasing is definitely Mykonos, but it is just way too expensive for our budget. We need a spot that balances both our styles. She is looking for stunning beaches, nature trails, sunset spots, and wandering through cute local shops. Meanwhile, I am all about those luxury beach clubs and once in a lifetime dining experiences.

What do you recommend that hits that sweet spot between high end luxury and natural beauty without the Mykonos price tag?
