Just back from Greece (3 weeks)
My husband and I just got back from three weeks in Greece. We went to Crete, Santorini, Rhodes, Simi and Nafplio. We had the most wonderful time and wish we were still there. (To help me re-live it...) If you need any advice I am willing to help out.

How did you travel from island to island? How much time did you spend in each place and which place would you have spent more time? We were in Crete, Santorini and Rhodes 15 years ago so I assume the costs have escalated dramatically - how did you find prices?

SUE - We loved Symi too. We actually stayed in Pedi Beach at the Pedi Beach Hotel. Not much beach, but good enough to swim at. We snorkled alot and found shells; the water was really warm and clear. We really enjoyed the main town...walking around, shopping, eating. We ate twice at a great restaurant... Georgios Taverna. The best food! And made friends with Lakis the bus driver. It was a fun island and the people were really nice. <BR> <BR>CANUK - We went to Crete (Hania & Iraklio) - 7 nights total, Santorini (Firostephani) - 4 nights, Rhodes (Ixia)-4nights, Symi (Pedi Beach) - 2 nights, Nafplio - 2nights, Athens -1 night. We really think that the most expensive thing was flying from California to Greece. The domestic flights were reasonable and so were the hotels, even though we opted to stay in a really nice one in Santorini (we used Dolphin Hellas travel agency in Athens). The food was very reasonable, bordering on inexpensive. All of the hotels had breakfast included and inroom refridgerators for stuff we bought (water, beer, snacks). I know that if we can we will go spend more time in Santorini and Symi...as well as in the Pelloponese. It was a truly wonderful experience.
