We have done a fair few Greek islands now but looking for somewhere we haven't been before!
We've done
Kefalonia x 3
Naxos
Corfu
Lesbos
Evia
Skiathos
Thassos
Rhodes
Zante
We've had a stop off at Mykonos en route to Naxos and half thinking of trying there this year. I'd be interested in hearing of any other islands that aren't as well known too.
We're a couple 54 & 60 but still the age of our shoe size - in our minds that is! Like nightlife..but not in the realms of Ibiza Partial to hiring car, cycles and exploring off the beaten track. Prefer to be with the locals than surrounded by fellow brits - but by no means unsociable Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Car hire imperative - and away from the coast, the scenery is stunning and the real Crete is still waiting for you to enjoy it! STRONGLY recommended!
Symi, Paxos, Alonissos, Skopelos, Samos and Parga (mainland).
Kos is supposed to be real nice too, i havent been but know a few people who have
Spetses, hard to get there independently though.
We have just recently come back from Santorini and to us was the best island we have been to as it is still quite traditional though very popular with Americans as they come of the cruise ships. The beaches aren't the best as they are volcanic but the rest of the island is fascinating. We stayed in the resort of Kamira which is the biggest resort on the island and more purpose built but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
It's a huge island with loads to see/do... beaches are very good, nightlife is lively in parts/chilled in others.
Just stay at the best place....Kefalonia!!!
Or for an island you could cover on foot Patmos. Theres a main town larger than you might expect with plenty of tavernas and again mainly Greek. Samos is another possibility, few more Brits here but no lager lout resorts and big enough to retain a Greek character in most of the villages
