This is a guide to an Island hopping itinerary of: Athens-Andros-Syros-Naxos-Paros
This guide will cover how to island hop through 4 incredible Greek Islands. It will cover things to do, places to eat, how to get around, and where to stay in each place. I have personally been to every single place included in this guide (except one! you'll see). These islands are a bit more off the beaten path than the usual tourist trail of Mykonos and Santorini. They are WELL worth visiting and should be on every travelers list! I believe you will find this guide extremely helpful and it will make your island hopping trip a breeze! I have listed personal descriptions about every single thing listed to give you a clearer idea of what to expect.
If you're interested in other islands I have also been to Santorini, Mykonos, and Milos and would be happy to explore those with you as well! I can also help with my planning process for any island adventure you may want.. believe me I've researched a ton of them!
Please also feel free to reach out to me through email: planformedani@gmail.com or at planforme.dani on instagram with any questions! I really am happy to help!

Prince Islands are my favorite locations in Istanbul, and I believe they should be on the top of your places-to-visit list.
Here you will find old mansions built in the 19th & 20th Centuries, and hiking trails with splendid sea 🌊 and forest🌳 views.
You can escape from the hustle and bustle of the big city by enjoying a 30 min-long ferry journey 🚢.
In this free guide, I collected the best places to have a meal/ drink in Prince Islands (Büyükada, Heybeliada, Burgazada & Kınalıada).

This is one of our favourite itineraries we have ever crafted as it truly packs in so much adventure whilst also allowing time to relax. Here you'll find 12 days of adventure in the South Island covering what to do, where to eat, where to stay, and insider information from our travels to these spots.
Whilst the first two days are in hotels in Queenstown, the rest of this itinerary is by camper van and does include driving. We HIGHLY recommend doing New Zealand by campervan to reach & stay in some of the most stunning places.
You can expect fjords, hiking, beaching, and adventure from this itinerary. This is for those who really want to get the most of out their 12 days on the South Island and covers the following regions:
-> Queenstown (with day trips)
-> Milford Sound
-> Mt. Cook / Aoraki National Park (& surrounding towns)
-> Lake Tekapo & Lake Pukaki
-> Wanaka
-> Dunedin
-> The Catlins
-> Arthurs Pass (with a quick stop in Christchurch & an option to change the itinerary OR make it a 14 day trip).
PLUS so many more ideas on how to fill your days.
Note: If you're interested in doing the North & the South Island of New Zealand, check out our three week itinerary on our Thatch page to both places to get the best value (it includes everything written in this itinerary).

Covered in palm trees, the odd chicken crossing the road that leads through the jungle, crystal clear, turquoise water with white sand beaches, a blue lake with the clearest water you can imagine, coconuts and cacao plants everywhere you look, the most friendly locals curiously asking our names and kids running after us with the biggest smiles on their faces.
This is Banggai! One of Indonesia's most underrated places.
A hidden and still very unknown gem off the coast of Sulawesi, a true local island paradise off the beaten track that I fell in love with.
If you want to experience narueal beauty and hidden gems far from (international) tourism, this is the right place to go.
