I think we found our vacation! Has anyone heard of www.gate1travel.com ?

It's amazing! excellant deals, and it can suit from a small budget to a large one.

I am torn between 2 tours...one is Athens, Santorini, Mykanos & Crete and the other is Athens, Santorini, Mykanos & Istanbul, Turkey

Both are $2,000 per person includes, Airfare, all hotels (11 nights), flights to the different islands, ferrys, breakfast everyday...and per day you can add on guided tours for $50-$100...This is a fantastic price! I am super excited...and the hotels are all at least 3stars. (you can upgrade for additional fees)

This sounds just perfect for us...it's already set up for you...as in..you know where you are going...all the transportation is set up...but you are free to do whatever you want when you get there! and no annoying tour groups to deal with!!! AHHH so exciting!
