One year we drove all over hitting all the archeological sights you can get to on the mainland, another time we hopped on a boat and spent 2 months hitting different islands for a week or so each. These days even if you have the money getting 2 months off of work at a time is very hard. Those were the best vacations I ever had, nobody was in a hurry and the money was plentiful so you just did whatever you wanted and ate anywhere you pleased. There is nothing as refreshing as taking a few months off to explore far away from home. While we did travel in the US for vacations it was always a direct drive to the location and then some exploring while you were there, nothing like the exploring we did in Greece (both my parents were born there and knew their way around).
