Early May Itinerary

Itinerary Check

We are heading to Greece early May! The start of our trip will be pretty gogo, but by design. There are a few major mainland sites we want to see. Instead of taking multiple day tours from Athens we decided to rent a car and drive our selves. The 3 drops will consists of 2.5-3 hours of driving which we plan on taking mid afternoon, and arriving at out next stay around dinner. Where we can then explore the town in the evening, take a morning tour with a local guide and then explore anything else before we head off to the next destination. The end of the trip is more chill, and we are staying in Santorini. We currently have nothing booked there, but will probably live more of a go with the flow vibe. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated!
