Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, Crete, etc. 9 days isn't enough man.

Skip the tourist traps of Mykonos and Santorini. They are beautiful, but will be filled with people and it's not authentic anymore. Try some smaller islands that you can get ferries from Athens- Naxos, Paros, etc

Mykonos and Santorini are tourist trap but if it's your first time there I say go for it. But spend less time there. I loved Crete (Chania) the best! I would spend couple of days there. Then just island hop- paros, Naxos, etc. Fly to Crete from Athens to save time. Then just do ferries- there aren't frequent ferries from Crete to Santorini so plan accordingly. Also look out for ferry strike.

Athens is wonderful - and don't miss santorini!!

In Athens we did airbnb instead of Starwood, stayed at a place two blocks from Acropolis. Greece is cheap AF so go crazy (except for Myk and San)

4-5 days in santorini alone in my opinion. One of my favorite destinations in the world (esp. If with s/o)

Anyone in the area a fan of going to outdoor breweries or bars during these times? Lost most of my social circle after a breakup a few months ago (they were her friends since I was always traveling and couldn’t meet others or join groups) and with covid it’s been difficult to find ways to meet new people and make friends so figure I’d try here. trying to find some people in the area to hang out with in smaller groups! 23 y/o M if that matters

SOS
What are some strategies or tactics you have developed which are very successful in small markets (I'm talking SUPER small)? I feel like I've thrown all my darts and some markets still can't find talent.

Some things I've tried, here in Canada:

- non-profit/employment centers
- indeed headunting
- getting field/hiring managers to post around town
- getting on local FB groups
- local schools if there are any
- physical posters
- newspaper/old media (not great)

Ideas needed 😭

Asking for advice: Hi ladies, how do you tell your SO that you want private time with your friends/colleagues? For context, my SO and I have been living together for 2 years. He doesn’t have a lot of friends and is a quiet type. His current friends are all our mutual friends. We do enjoy spending time just us two a lot, especially during this pandemic. However, I do have a group of colleagues/friends that I’m close to and usually prefer to hang with them seperately. (cont. in comment)
