Broke But Mentally Exhausted
affordable but beautiful
Perfect for
This is our "broke but mentally exhausted" list: 4 destinations in Greece picked to go together rather than to sit on a generic top-10. The vibe we were aiming for: affordable but beautiful. It covers Thasos, Kythnos, Samos and Kea (Tzia), spread across North Aegean and Cyclades. Most of them share beach, food and aegean, so whichever one your group lands on, the trip still feels like the same kind of trip. Read through them, pick the two to five you'd actually go to, and turn them into a page your friends can vote on instead of another thread nobody answers.

Why these destinations?
They keep coming back to the same things: beach, food, aegean and calm. Everything here is in Greece, across North Aegean and Cyclades, so moving between two of them mid-trip is realistic rather than theoretical. All of them are the same kind of place — islands — which keeps expectations aligned inside the group. What they share above all is the feel: affordable but beautiful.
