Internet cafes?

How easy is it to receive and sent e-mails on the islands? Which islands have internet cafes? Are they expensive? Thanks for any specifics!

umm, good question. Want to let us know which islands you're talking about? Lots on Long Island. I know of a good one on Ile St. Louis in Paris. Sicily has a bunch and so does Malta.

It appears that you mean the GREEK islands, since a search on Greece retrieves this post. Even though you clicked on Greece, this is not apparent to the 90%+ of visitors who simply who read "the entire board" - - in other words, "we" do not click on a certain country.

It seems to safe to suppose that internet cafes are no different on the Greek islands than in other parts of Europe. I have to assume that keyboards with the Roman alphabet are common, even in Greece.

There are (at least) three good websites for this:

http://www.netcafeguide.com/countries/greece.htm lists the most with 69 (about 20-25 of these are in Athens)

www.cybercafes.com

and

http://cybercaptive.com

All three have listings for Mykonos, Paros, Santorini and others.

Best wishes,

Rex

Even if you can't find an internet cafe you will be able to find computers to use in bars, tourist offices/exchange offices and lots of the hotels we stayed at had internet connections. I've checked email in Naxos, Paros, Santorini, Syros and Kefallonia. It was cheap, either free or a dollar or two for a half hour.

Duh, I'm not sure why the Greek Islands didn't come to me -- sorry I really wasn't trying to be snide.
Three of the hotels we stayed in had computers for free use -- one, the Hotel St. Nicholas in Rhodes even had a whole room set up with three free computers -- it was wonderful. There are internet cafes in most major tourist towns on all the islands we visited -- Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes, Symi, Crete, Samos, and Kos.

We have been to Syros,Paros, Ios, Naxos, Mykonos, Santorini, Crete, Corfu, and Samos, as well as several places on the mainland, and have found internet cafes everywhere. Prices vary but generally are cheaper than using an internet cafe in North America.
