Which island is best Mykonos or Santorini

I want to include Greece in my Euro trip next year but I don't have much time or money so I was thinking about overlanding into Athens then catching  a ferry to the islands. I think with my budget and timeframe I can only do one so I want to visit one of the most famous either Mykonos or Santorini, so which should it be?

Ahh you have to see both!!

I went to Santorini a few years back and absolutely loved it. The views and clifftop restaurants are special especially at sunset. Be aware though it is very expensive and touristy, try to book accommodation well ahead of time. I would avoid during peak season too in July and August as you can hardly move.

I personally preferred Mykonos, the streets are so pretty there are Insta shots everywhere. I also found it less busy than Santorini and slightly cheaper.
