| Summary | I have wanted to visit to the Santorini island and the Mykonos island.
Finally I decided to go these islands. The prices of flights and accommodations in July were more expensive thna in June. I planed to go in the latter half of June, so the weather of the latter half in June is almost the same in July. I chose the Midle East for the route to Greece. I prefered the Etihad Airways to the Emirates and Qator Airways as the costs and the flight schedule. Though the transits twice in Seoul and Abu Dhabi, moderate transit time and arrival around noon in Athens. I saw the entertainment on board whihk is known as the air show and the flight path. The map displayed "Dokdo", it is called by South Korean. Though the island was called "Take Shima" by Japanese. Since the airplane depart in South Korea, it would never happen Japanes to be there. |
