How funny, we're gonna be in Mykonos at the same time

If you're gonna do any island hopping I also recommend Santorini. The main town, Fira, and Oia are incredibly beautiful. If you prefer an island closer to Mykonos I think Naxos is worth visiting. The main town (Chora) has a lot of history, food is great and the nightlife is quite decent.

I've been to Amsterdam several times and nobody has ever followed or offered me or my friends any drugs. When we checked out the Red Light District we thought the girls in the windows were pretty average looking too.

Amsterdam has a lot of interesting cultural things or you can spend the whole time in the smokeshops if you're into that stuff I'm going to Crete for the fourth time next week. It's a big island and like CND said, a rental car is highly recommended. Are you going to the east or west side of Crete? West has Elafonissi, the most beautiful beach I've ever seen, and Chania town. East has Knossos which is definitely worth visiting and my favorite town, Agios Nikolaos. Btw, Crete has the best Greek food!! But where-ever you eat in Greece, never eat at places that look even semi-fancy or have mainly tourist customers. The tavernas with crappy looking seats that don't match and with a bunch of locals hanging out there are usually a guarantee of good food

Amsterdam Clubs I know are Panama, MilkWeg and The Paradisio.

So, I'm still trying to figure out my Greece bit.

Flying into Greece on July 14 and heading to Athens on July 18.
Was thinking of just Mykonos for those 5 days, but thinking of Santorini too/instead of.

Want to really just relax and lay on the beach (after 8 days in Ibiza beforehand)... what are your suggestions? I have a decent budget, so $ isn't too much of an issue.
