Santorini is beautiful with avg. night life. Ios is not very pretty with great night life. Of course, I am sure night life has changed over the years. Mykanos is

I jest....

Mykanos is fantastic.

My wife & I honeymooned there last June. She wants to move there.

also recommend mykonos. "super paradise" beach is excellent

Athens and then Corfu and then you are thinking about heading to the Cyclades? Doesn't seem efficient.

Drop Corfu, go to Santorini, Mykonos and Ios.

Santorini for the beauty
Mykonos for the beautiful people
Ios for the party.

I have never been to Corfu and I have heard it is nice, but it is way off the beaten island path.

Ios is legendary, especially in the summer. Be prepared to meet alot of inebriated European girls!

Corfu is great - I don't know if it's 3 nights great. If your not locked in I'd suggest 2 nights in Athens, 2 in Corfu, and then get to Ios or Mikonos. June is when the holiday season gets going and by July it's nuts so if you don't have a place to stay already during July/August forget about it.

Santorini is cool but it goes to bed early. Why people live on a volcano without a natural supply of fresh water and little if any rainfall is a mystery to me but they've been doing it for a long time.

Greece is f'ing awesome - you'll love it wherever you may be.

YoLaDu has it right. That's exactly what we did. If Corfu is set in stone, then IOS - no brainer.

thanks for all the suggestions. we are now 1 night in athens, 2 nights in corfu (my sister came home RAVING about it), then 3 nights for some combo of mykonos/ios/santorini.

thanks yall

Would love to hear a report when you come back.

Each Island you plan on visiting definitely has a distinct character and flavor.

That reminds me. If you are looking at beaches, Mykonos has the best beaches by far of the Islands that have been mentioned. Santorini has black sand beaches on the more remote side of the island, that is not worth the trek, IMO.

In your one night in athens, have dinner or drinks at sunset at the restaurant at the top of the hill named lykavitos.

Anyone been to Milos? We'll be going this year - heard nothing but amazing reviews about the beaches.
