Hi, I've been searching the Internet for days on end trying to find a Greek island for 10 nights.
We have been on caribbean cruises, Jamaica, mexico, Florida etc and love nice resorts. We gave been to zante, turkey, Spain and Egypt.
We want lots of scenery, not bothered about shops but would like lots of nice restaurants, tavernas and be able to go out to a choice of local bars at night. We don't just want to sit by the hotel every single day so would be nice to be able to do trips; quads, bikes, hiking etc. I want the traditional Greek feel with the winding villages and rooftop bars, history etc. I don't mind being slightly away from it all do long as I can get to it easily enough.
I would like a nice sandy beach if possible but not be all an end all as the scenery is more important.
I am looking at the atlantica grand mediterraneo resort in Ermones. Any thoughts on if you feel this hotel/resort would be suitable?
Please let me know your thoughts and recommendations.
Thanks,
Michelle xx
While it may not fit all of your requirements why not check out Agios Georgios north on the north-west coast of Corfu. It is a rather laid back, un-commercialised resort but is in a beautiful setting. A long and wide sandy beach in a horse-shoe bay between high headlands is the focal point. Behind the beach the rolling countryside of wooded hills and valleys stretches towards the centre of the island. There are just a handful of small hotels and no skyscraper blocks of apartments. You can hire cars, bikes, quad bikes, boats to get around but most popular is walking.

A popular walk is to the headland you see opposite in the top photo and the lovely village of Afionas which is famed for its outstanding views to the north and south. Only 3kms inland is the old hill village of Pagi. To go with all this you have the wonderful welcoming nature of the local Greek people.
The web-site http://www.agiosgeorgios.info has loads more photos taken in this lovely area.

That looks like a lovely place we're off to Agios Gordios in August- I love Corfu.
Hi there, it looks really nice, thank you. We want somewhere near a traditional town with loads of restaurants and preferablely some good day trips. It has to be somewhere I can book with a travel agent so not off track. There has to be somewhere!!
Hi, we went to Arillas a few years ago... totally unspoilt and in the brochures...
Does it have to be Corfu?? from your post Lindos in Rhodes sounds perfect for you
