I will be travelling to Greece this year for the 5th time. I have traveled a fair bit to the Greece, in particular the Greek Islands and Athens, however this year i will be starting in Thessaloniki, spending 4 nights there. After this, I have 7 spare nights, before I have to be in Mykonos. Seeing as I can't find a direct flight from Thessaloniki to Mykonos, I was thinking of making the drive down from Thessaloniki to Athens, where I would then go continue on to Mykonos either by ferry or plane. Should I rent a car in Greece?
Can anyone recommend any towns or cities along the way that are worth spending time in? I'm aware that its only a 5 hour drive but I would like to break it up a little, seeing as I have a week to spare.
