neeeeeeeeeek Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Thinking about going to Greece for a week. Any recommendations? Really liked Skiathos, a lovely town with harbor, great bus service to get round the island. Really liked Thassos, stayed in the old town, bit like Skiathos but smaller. Would like somewhere else that has a traditional town, not just some hotel complex built next to a beach. Skiathos was great as we were in the main town, but the little spots all round the island where the bus goes would have driven us nuts if we were based in any of them. Anyone been to anywhere good?

SnailyBoy Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Parga is nice, some really excellent tavernas and town with a castle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeeeeeeeeek Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Parga looks nice but is a massive pain to get to! Considered Sangtorini last year, what makes you say it is fantastic? It looks pretty but there didn't seem to be a great deal to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I'd highly recommend Kefalonia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeeeeeeeeek Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Also been to Cephalonia which was nice, but not as nice as the others. ---------- Post added 10-06-2013 at 21:50 ---------- haha, good timing! ---------- Post added 10-06-2013 at 21:52 ---------- Parga is nice, some really excellent tavernas and town with a castle. Where did you fly to? There must be a closer airport than Athens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was lovely - nice castle , some good restaurants , pleasant harbour etc. A similar place (but a little hillier) is Molyvos on Lesbos- it is a cruise stop and has good links to the rest of the island.

tinfoilhat Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Lesbos is nice (well might be its been 20 years!). I remember Petra (we did a day trip- it had a petrified forest). Kaloni (sp?) was nice too. Has a massive salt marsh so pretty awesome for bird watching. That said the best two weeks of my life was in a quiet village in Corfu.
