Hi, I am looking for advice from people who have visited the Greek Islands; I am going with my husabn for 10 days maybe 2 weeks. We would like to go to Athens for 2 or 3 nights and then to one of the Islands or two or visit more; What's the best place to go? I do like Sandy beaches, but don't mind if we visit some rocky ones. What is it like in terms of accomodations.


Thank you

hi i' m greek so i d like to think I can help you on this one... :)

If you were going for 10 days - 2 weeks I would definitely suggest visiting a couple of island at least.

my best suggestion would be to visit a cyclades islands. There is a boat that stops off to all islands. If you googgle it you will see the specific islands. Mylos (never been) is famous for its lovely sandy beaches, hopefully my next destination. Paros also is a pretty island to visit and so is Mykonos, although it is very popular and very expensive. Santorini does have beaches on the south east of the island however nothing special due to the volcanic pebble. I could not recommend enough visiting this island though (west side) for its breathtaking views!


If you wanted to stay close to the mainland and particularly to athens you can always pop over (quickly) to Ydra and Spetses. They are nice and local. Spetses is quite small but nevertheless a beautiful island.


I hope this helps.

Oh, I've been dreaming of the greek isles for the last few years but haven't been able to afford it as yet. I have deeply fond memories of Skopelos from childhood, they have never left me, I'd move there in a heartbeat if I could. One of THE best greek isles by far. Such friendly people and the food is out of this world!! Definitely worth a visit. I still have a lot of greek islands on my 'hit list' a lot are worth a visit in my opinion.

Hi i am from Santorini and if you want to see the most amazing sunset you have to go there !

Another choice and something that a lot of people dont know is Agistri island , only

one hour from piraeus port with ferry .Agistri is a paradise ,beautiful sandy beach !

    • Another glowing review for Julian!! I am now referring to Julian as ‘the legend’. I had spent 5 years waiting until I could afford to get some cupboards built in, and I couldn’t be happier. I am often allergic to overbearing advice when it comes to work I have commissioned and am paying for, but I found Julian’s advice so helpful. He offered his opinion about my plans in a very constructive way, and helped me come up with a much better plan. His ideas were better than mine! Not something I usually like to admit. The work was exemplary, and he cleared up beautifully. He was communicative and a pleasure to deal with. I am so delighted with my cupboards and floating shelves. He doesn’t paint them, but I think that is better, as it’s a specialist job, and it means you can either save money and paint them yourself, or get a painter and decorator to paint them properly. He is a brilliant carpenter. The only problem now is that I have so much more hanging space thanks to his advice, that I may not get rid of all the old clothes I can no longer fit into!  Anyway, highly highly recommended if you need fitted carpentry cupboards or shelves, and want to work with someone who cares about the outcome. Thank you so much Julian! 
    • For many years I went to Ken's on NXR.  He was pretty much the only barber  in ED  Now we have more barbers than you could shake a stick at - all the way down from the Plough through to DKH and some are empty of customers - even on the evenings and weekends.  I never ceased to be amazed that they continued to operate despite not having clients and realised that they were probably into money-laundering - just like the sweet shops along Oxford street. I went once to one on LL and certainly wasn't impressed with their. My dear wife has cut my hair ever since. I don't believe in supporting criminals.

    • People are more likely to go back and retrace their route rather than look on the EDF.  If you’re reluctant to and them on a fence or something, perhaps you could put a note with your phone number there
    • Do you know a Spanish lady called Maria who lives in East Dulwich? My partner is helping a woman she met on Crystal Palace Road this afternoon. She seems confused and unsure where to go. She is in her late 60s, with short grey/dark hair, Black puffer jacket blue tracksuit. Apparently her daughter is also called Maria and lives locally. If anyone knows her please call me on 07980308743. Thanks, Chris
