Im leaving for Europe on June 14 and returning on Sept 2 flying into and out of Brussels. I thought I would have time to do EVERYTHING I wanted but of course now I have to pick and choose. To keep it basic I was planning on being in Germany/Czech for about 3-4 weeks, Spain for about 3-4 weeks and Greece (Islands for about 3 weeks). Now I'm thinking about going to Helsinki, Finland and Budaplest, Hungary too (some people through globalfreeloader.com have even offered to let me crash at their place in those cities).
Would you:
Cut down some time in Greece and Spain in order to get everything in?
Is 7 days enough in Greece to make the trip to get there worth it?
OR
Cut out my chill time on the Greek Islands all together?
I have really wanted to go to Greece but its hard to get there (relativly) and I may end up haveing to go during the Olympics. A round trip flight from Berlin is around 200 euro and by land/sea would take a few extra days. I would be mostly on the islands but it may be more crowded there too because of the games.
Something else to keep in mind is that I only have a 2 month rail pass and will be in Europe for 11 weeks so it wouldnt be a good idea to go to Greece in the middle of my trip because I won't be using my railpass there much.
Of course this is all based on PERSONAL OPINON but hearing opinions helps me work through these things sometimes.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
