10 days for Crete or 7 for Rhodes...

and Santorini ?

We had 10 days on Santorini in April and could have stayed longer, but we also lost at least 3 days to illness. And I was born on an Island so really enjoy the special feeling and pace... and it was the first time in 15 years that I was actually not on call at work. :/

I guess it depends on your style and what other places you may be considering. We had about 4 days in Athens on either end then finished with 5 days in Italy (which was just enough to make us really want to go back!)

My impression is that Santorini is overrun in the summer and expensive, but the shoulder season was very pleasant if you're ok with limited services.

Ancient Thira, Perissa and Imerovigli with Skaros were highlights, and renting a car to see the less traveled areas was well worth it.
