I'm thinking about posting some amazing flight deals that I come across. Is this something you would all be interested in?
From Athens you can easily get to any of the amazing islands of Greece. Here's a shot of me in overlooking the amazing view in Santorini last year. More on the Santorini, Naxos, Athens, and Meteora on future post! =)
Right now you can fly from New York City to Athens Greece for under $450 ($392 if you look on skyscanner) with select dates from now until May 2018. Emirates is a 5 star airline and includes luggage incase you like to bring more then a carryon. Always a great option to bring back olives wine and maybe some tasty greek feta.
You can find this deal on google flights.
Here's a link (https://goo.gl/flights/4R9r) to some random dates in November include both Election and Veterans day so take advantage of possible work holidays to maximize vacation time.
