Hey guys, hopefully heading to one of the Greek islands this summer for some sun, beach and activities. Problem is, I don't know much about Greece as a tourist destination. Sure I know all about Athens but little about the smaller islands. Ideally, I am looking for a suitable place for a 7-10 day sun holiday which is also good for activites too and a spot of history/sightseeing. It will only be myself and my girlfriend (both in our early 20s - past the whole "clubbing holiday" stage, wanting a romantic type sun holiday with activities) and def do not want to be stuck in a nightclub mad place, or at the same time, a place where older couples migrate and the area dies down at 10pm. Hopefully somewhere in between those two extremes.
I hope you know what I mean and are able to help. Any info is helpful to me! Thanks.

Hi
For a first time and with the mix of things you are looking for I would suggest Crete or Rhodes.

Hi, I agree with some of Lally's and intervoice's suggestions of Crete, Corfu or Rhodes. There would be beautiful beaches, lots of pretty villages and historical sites (especially in Rhodes), the opportunity for activites and excursions and great nightlives (especially Corfu). If you wanted it to be less busy with partygoers you could try going outside of the high season (i.e. May to June or September) and it would be quieter for you and your girlfriend.

For what you're looking for, I'd suggest being based at Kamari, in Santorni. Most of the nightlife is based around meals at beautful seaside restauraunts with stunning views of the sunsets. It's easy to get round the rest of the island by bus.
In addition to those mentioned above, I would also recommend Kos(a boat trip away from Turkey !!) and Cyprus.

Thank you to everybody who posted. All very helpful info and I hope you feel happy that you have helped to kickstart this holiday preparation for me.
A big help as always!
No doubt I'll be back very soon with more questions!

Tsilvi in Zante. That's where we are trying in June.
Thassos or Skiathos, both great beaches and good nightlife without being '18-30' madness. We are trying Tingaki, Kos for first time this year hoping its gonna be good. 
oh I would second or third Lindos on Rhodes- we spent 2 weeks there last year and loved it. Thought it was just on the right side of lively- still has a greek vibe but lots for Tourists. Plus you can easily get into Rhodes Town and up to the waterpark. There are water sports on Rhodes and historic sights. Pretty much something for everyone.
I thought Lindos was lovely in the evenings, you cannot beat the roof top resturants or bars. If you are not into clubing but still like to be out and about in the evening it had pretty much everything you would need.

I would definetly say Chios Island! It is the place where you can find the best beaches in Greece. And it is the place that you are looking for as you can find calm and relaxing places beside enjoying night clubs and clubbing. There are many faces of the island and I am sure you will enjoy it very much. Just google it and check! 
Have a very nice holiday!!!

Kos has something for everyone, lots of villages/resorts catering for all age groups and Kos town has everything from ruins, boat trips, museums through to discos should anyone want them.
Rhodes also similar, caters for all age groups, plenty of museums, historical buildings, beautiful places to visit, parks to wander through.
Cephalonia has drogarati caves, Melassani Lake, historical sites, two museums worth a visit. Stay in any of the villages ... no disco music blasting, very few discos on this island ... it's heaven!
