I flew into Athens and paid $700 RT from NYC. Try traveling tues/wed through tues/wed. Beginning of April is the best time to go (right before their busy season). The ferry is $25 each way to Santorini (which was the last stop, islands closer to mainland might be cheaper). We got an Airbnb for about $70/night but we wanted a our own place that fit 2 people, I'm sure private rooms are cheaper. Upfront you'll have to pay, but busy season is when I have have the most money (i.e. It's hard to spend money when you're working 18 hour days).

I gave notice to one of the partners at my small firm last week. It was amicable, but she told me to wait to tell the other partner until he returned from vacation. In the interim, she told the other partner and he blew up. He is now making insane demands and threatening to call my future employer if i don’t meet them. Most problematically, he refuses to meet with me to discuss transitioning my cases over the next week. I am not sure what to do, and I am worried about ethical rules.
