Which Greek Islands
We're considering a trip to Greece and would like to spend most of our time on its islands (perhaps three of them) rather than in Athens. Our goal would be to enjoy the atmosphere; shop; dine; take in some beautiful views; and, if lucky, meet some local people. We would NOT be interested in antiquities.
Any thoughts on which three islands would make good choices?
Many thanks,
BB

I highly recommend Santorini. Stay in Oia. It's the most quaint and beautiful. Not as touristy, imo. Mykonos was nice too... perfect for just resting and watching the sunsets. Though I have never been, I have heard Crete is amazing as well.

As other suggest, Santorini with a quiet stay in Oia. (Thira is crowded with a huge nightlife--which is good for those that well, like the nightlife I suppose.)
Also Mykonos must be on your visit. It is just so incredible, hard to explain!

I have the same interests accept shopping is not high on my list. I have been to numerous islands but my favourites are Crete, Karpathos, Naxos, Amorgos, Santorini, Chios, Nissiros, Hydra and Elafonisos Island.
