The sweet spot
This is enough time for a first visit with a clear daily rhythm and room to change course when the day calls for it.

How many days do you need in Savannah?
Savannah is most comfortable with 4 days. That gives the trip room for the parts people travel there to see, without turning every good idea into a timed stop.

Simple Savannah Weekend
A compact getaway built around the historic district, a few good meals, and a slower rhythm.

Your 4-day outline
Day 1: Eastern Historic Core first night and Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist
Check into A stay near the historic district. · Use the first evening for square-hopping and dinner. · Do not overcomplicate it.
Day 2: Classic Savannah Day
Breakfast at The Public Kitchen & Bar before the day's main plans. · Walk the squares, riverfront, and a few key historic areas. · Take lunch as part of the atmosphere, not just fuel. · Finish with a drink or dessert walk.
Day 3: Forsyth Park and Neighborhood Walk and a Historic Squares send-off
Take coffee and one last short walk. · Grab brunch before checkout. · Head to the airport with time.
Day 4: Tybee Island and Ghost Tour Night
A coastal contrast if the group wants one day outside the city rhythm. · Keep it to a single easy excursion. · Return to Savannah for the night.
