ninbi Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 We've booked flights to Athens for 8 nights in April. Very excited as our two girls aged 9 and 10, are Ancient Greece nuts!So we're thinking of 4 nights in Athens itself, and then 4 nights chilling on an island, but don't know which island to go for - not too far so we only spend a few hours on internal travel..Does anyone have any recommendations for islands, accommodations, things to do/avoid etc pl?Thanks!N Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/145021-greece-at-easter-any-recommendations/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
red devil Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Not an island but Peloponnese is well worth visiting and close to Athens.

steveo Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Delphi is spectacular but it's not an island and it's a bit of a march Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/145021-greece-at-easter-any-recommendations/#findComment-1112642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
titch juicy Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I would always recommend Corfu. As far away from Kavos as you can- so north of the Island.I spent a summer there 20 years ago working in a bar and we arrived the weekend before Easter. Easter itself was very special, all except for the constant baa-ing from lambs kept on a rope in back gardens for the big day, then the sacrificial cutting of throats. The spit roasted result was wonderful though!

Nigello Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Hydra - light rail to Piraeus then a 60' ferry (fast) or 3 hours (slow) thought there are other ways but may involve a car trip then a shorter ferry.
