Our visit to the Delphi site takes up a good part of a Sunday, and we are many times lucky there. Firstly, the entrance is free on the day as it`s (unbeknown to us previously) an Environment Day. Secondly, and with more luck then design, we manage to stage our visit so that we avoid most of the tour groups as we visit the museum in the lunch hour ...  Read the complete review

My boyfriend and I recently went to the resort of Kokkini Hani, near Heraklion. I thought I'd put a review in as there doesn't seem to be much information on this place. Here goes... 1) Accommodation - we stayed on a half-board basis in the Cosman Apartments. This was the most basic place we've stayed in to date. There ...  Read the complete review

Having extensively researched the 'net' looking for hotels for our 5 day stay on Naxos I was undecided when an internet acquaintance suggested that I look into the Hotel Glaros on St. George's beach. The internet site gave just the bare minimum of information and I wasn't overly impressed. The aforementioned acquaintance sent an ...  Read the complete review

Kassandra Bay Hotel We booked this as a late availability holiday from a number we got off teletext. The holiday was actually a Thompson holiday and we booked this through Lincoln Travel. Lincoln Travel provided us with a high standard of service, providing us with lots of information about different holidays on offer. Eventually we ...  Read the complete review

These were the first words on the lips of myself and my esteemed friend, Mester Craig Sumner, as we strode onto the sandy beach at Karavi in Greece! We were surrounded by around 100 incredibly tanned Greeks all glistening under the brilliant sunshine of a hot Greek day in August, and I have never felt so white! But that was the first day... within ...  Read the complete review

Agios Nikitas, on the Ionian island of Lefkas, is a picture-postcard Greek seaside village: a single street running down a little valley to the sea from the main road, ending at a picturesque little harbour with a couple of boats bobbing on the swell. On either side of the street, little tavernas - no English-themes pubs here - ...  Read the complete review

I have been to Greece several times.I love it and i believe it is one of the most beatiful countries in the world.I have been in most major cities(athens,thessalloniki,patra)and in many of the big islands(crete,myconos,serifos,etc).The best greek holidays i have ever had though,were the ones i spent in Amorgos,a small island in the aegean sea. ...  Read the complete review

In the summer, I went my holidays to Greece, the first time I had travelled to that particular part of the world. I'm more used to heading for Spain, America or France so it was sure to be a new experience and I was a little sceptical of what I could expect. Since my early childhood, I've had this stereotypical image of Greece as being a ...  Read the complete review

If you would like to spend your vacation in a place where tradition, culture and Greek nature reign, then Metsovo is the place for you. Metsovo is a remote village in Epiros (north-western Greece), surrounded by tall mountains. It is very traditional and modern at the same time: you will meet elderly women knitting sitting at their ...  Read the complete review

Halkithiki is the part of Greece where the three fingers come down into the sea just east of Thesalonika. The third finger to the east is Greek holy land, only men are allowed in (that goes for animals as well!) and only with prior permission. Tourism therefore is left to the second peninsula, the sea and beaches here are as untouched as many of ...  Read the complete review

For those of you planning to go to Levkas at any point I have one suggestion - hire a car. The island itself is like many other Greek islands - dusty, hot and a pleasant place to go. There are numerous small resorts, most famously Nidri and Vasiliki. The first is the closest the island appears to get to Corfu town and the second ...  Read the complete review

The first thing you notice about Skiathos is how short the runway is at the Airport! I have never been in a plane that stopped as quickly as soon as it landed... Skiathos is a fairly small island with one major town (Skiathos) and a handful of resorts dotted along the southern shores of the island. It's a very peacful and ...  Read the complete review

Rodes, Falaraki. Forget Ibiza, this is the place to go to party! I went to Falaraki in Rhodes for my first ever lads holiday and I really had a good time. Falaraki itself is not the best looking resort in the world, most of the buildings have no proper roofs (so the landlords dont have to pay roof tax) and the resort is spidered with loads ...  Read the complete review

If you make it to Paros then you're just a boat ride from where you really should be! Anti Paros is a smaller island than Paros and far less spoilt. When I first visited Anti Paros about 15 years ago there were no roads and therefore no traffic. It was bliss for 2 weeks to be able to walk everywhere and get away from the rat race. Now there is ...  Read the complete review

I took at very cheap last minute holiday to Aegina last year setting out on my travels not really knowing where I was going. The destination was Aegina a very small island not far from Athens. Having travelled to Skiathos as a child I remembered with fondness the great time I had there.The island is about 1 hour on the ferry from Pyrias ...  Read the complete review

Last year my partner and I went to Vatera on the island of Lesbos. The island is not for those who are seeking another Corfu, Crete or Majorca type holiday.It is still essentially very much Greece.It is a big rugged dramatic island with lovely beaches.The scenery can be spectacular, such as the large fossilised forest in the west of the island, ...  Read the complete review
