Case & Cassandra

October 6, 2012

Cassandra and I met as travelers in Rome, and we hope to travel together until we're too old to keep it up. We bonded over new experiences and we will continue letting our curiosity get the best of us. Since we'll be living in a New York apartment the size of a shoebox, we didn't see the traditional need for household items or cookware. So, when we were thinking about our registry, we thought a honeymoon registry would be the best way for our wonderful guests to give us the gift of memories.
We will be flying to Greece in 2013, where Cassandra and I can experience the best of both worlds-- amazing culture + great relaxing beaches! We will be flying into Athens and exploring the nearby islands by ferry.

We're going to Athens, Crete, Santorini, Mykonos!

We will fly into Athens, where we'll hit all of the major cultural sites, from the Parthenon to the ancient Markets, plus the Archaeological Museum. One night we'll head out of the city toward the coast for grub.

Next, we'll take a ferry to Crete, where we'll see the famous Palace of Knossos, taste wine, and travel out to the western tip to Iraklio, a town with Venetian influence. Iraklio is famous for amazing ruins and great seafood.

For the last leg of the trip, we'll ferry out to Santorini and Mykonos- 2 volcanic islands with famous beaches and restaurants.

Finally, we'll fly back to NY via Athens!
