Philipp and Ekin · October 2026 · one of these seven
The frame is 2–10 October 2026, give or take a couple of days: each trip takes the dates its flights actually support, so two are seven nights and five are eight. Every card names its own dates. They are not the same kind of holiday, and that is the point.
What each trip is and what you would do there. Money is on the cards below. Click any row to jump to that trip.

One nice base and day trips out of it, except Athens which is two places. Each card carries the same fields: where you would stay, what you would do, what you would eat, and what it costs.
Berlin → İzmir → Çeşme → Chios, by plane, coach and ferry
Two of us, eight or nine nights on the island, one rental car. Three things to settle: which dates, which house, and what it comes to. Pick a date option and every price, date and day below switches to match.

Both options sit before 25 October, so Greece and Türkiye are on the same clock — no time change at the ferry. Berlin is one hour behind both.
Chios is 50 km top to bottom and the places worth going are spread across all of it. Click any marker to open its detail panel. Click a house for its driving times to the nearest beach, shop and the ferry port.
Six legs. Two of them can break the plan: the ferry, which thins out in October, and the arrival evening, which does not connect.
Both of us out, one of us back. Estimated from recent fare ranges — check Check24 and the airlines direct.
550 TRY per person per leg Checked Aug 2026 — about €11.50. Four person-legs across the trip.
Published winter singles are €40, return €50 Ertürk & Tilos, Jan 2026; aggregators show fares from €30. Range covers both.
Budgeted at €25 a day, between the bare rate and the fully insured one. Check24, 18 Aug
Return ferry fares are cheaper than two singles — buy the return.
ADB→IST/SAW one-way, estimated. Frequent all day on Turkish, Pegasus and AJet.
Prices are the live Booking totals for 9–18 Oct, two adults, one room, taxes and fees included, with Genius discounts already applied where they exist.
| House | Where | Per night | Total, 9 nights | To the port | To a beach | Cancellation | Score | Suits |

Figures marked like this are estimates — either scaled from the confirmed 9-night price, or not checked at all. Everything else is the live Booking total. Click any row to pull that house into the panel above and highlight its card below.
Both date options, priced side by side. Each line carries a low and a high because several figures are still estimates rather than quotes.
Food assumes cooking breakfast at the house, a taverna dinner most nights and one properly good meal. Fuel is set at a flat €5 a day, roughly 60–70 km on island roads at Greek island pump prices. Extras cover museum entries, the Nea Moni donation, mastic to bring home.
Organised by region rather than by base, because the base isn't decided. Each day is one thing worth driving for. From Chios Town nothing on this list is more than about an hour away; from Volissos or Avgonima the northern and western days get shorter and the southern ones longer.
Two days are deliberately unscheduled. October weather on Chios is usually warm and swimmable but the north wind can shut the west coast down for a day, and you want the slack.
