I am looking to go to another greek island this summer with the mrs.

So far i have been to corfu, crete and rhodes.

I was thinking of going to kefalonia or skianthos. I really want to go to somewhere very pretty and not to many loud young english people.

Any ideas

Thanks

This is my all time favourite, fly into Kos then get the ferry over to the island of Kalymnos.

Peace, tranquility, crystal waters, closest place ive been to paradise. Theres only one road on the island, which doesnt go all the way round, so virtually no traffic either

The ferry takes you into Missouri which is where i stayed, from there you can take a small fishing boat/taxi over to the smaller island of Telendos which is idylic, four or five little tavernas on the beach front and no roads

Kos was great, Crete was excellent when I went their the 1st time (Malia) but went back last year with the missus, had a night out there and spent half the night threatening p1ssed up chavvy b'stards who pounce on your woman the minute your at the khazi...

Lesbos. Obviously.

Have been to Corfu, Crete and Kos.

My reccomendation out of the 3 would be Kos.

kos airport is a dive, although the landing and take off can be fun

symi and/or castellorizon. off the beaten track (for greek islands anyway), both a manageable ferry trip from rhodes. visited both last september. google them & you'll see what i mean ...

We've been to Corfu and Kefalonia, and Kef wins for me.

Kefalonia - if you want it really peaceful - stay in Assos (pretty little village -3 or 4 tavernas round a horshoe shaped cove with a ruined venetian castle looming over you, nice driving around there.We've stayed in Villa Maistrali a few times). For a bit more life, stay in Fiscardo which is a bit more lively /yachty port with restaurants. Don't stay in the South or west of Kef as it's all a bit club 18-30. Viathi on neighbouring Ithaca is nice too - smaller version of Fiscardo (ferry from Kefalonia required). Paxos south of Corfu is also nice and quiet - no real roads and only a couple of miles across so you get a boat instead to get to deserted beaches.

colin, make sure you eat at 'the gourmet' - best restaurant on the island, tourists don't know it exists so you'll get a genuine greek 'fine dining' experience. it's in ixia (suburb of rhodes town out towards the airport), up a residential side street. all the cabbies know it. for best results, eat late. you need to like meat and it won't kill your wallet.

Went to Kos (Kos town) last year and it was excellent. Kos town is the less chavvy bit than Kardamina - still some nightlife however.

One weird thing was the amount of restaurants and bars was way too many for the amount of people and this was peak season. Quite a lot only had a handfull of people in every night we walked past (en route to the very centre which was always busy) The locals said it's been getting less busy every summer for some years now. Obviously newer holiday destinations meaning less people going to Greek islands.

mythos beer in an icy mug please

Petem95

I'd forgotten about that stuff! Lovely beer - really light, but still 5% and fantastic when served in a mug which has come straight out the freezer!!

Been to Falaraki a few years ago. On Tuesday I am going to Skiathos for a week. Nearly forgot, last year I went to Zante.
