    5 Stars Paradise with a few bugs Review with images 16/04/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Sun, sand, relaxing and lots of refreshing Retsina

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Wasps, Flying cockroaches and Horse Flies.

    Agistri or Angistri meaning "hook" in English. Located 20 miles south of Athens. It is the smallest of the Sarconic Islands at only 8 square miles. Good job the population is only about 1000 or it would be overcrowded. History ******** In ancient times it formed part of the kingdom of Aegina under the rule of the mythical King Aeakes. In the 17th century the island was uninhabited due to the many pirate raids. Later in the 18th century people started returning to the island, but never increased much until the 1960s. Most locals made a living from Retsina made from pine resin, olive oil, figs ... more

    4 Stars SIFNOS is CONTAGIOUS 15/06/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Variety but less developed - more relaxed

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Culture shock after other Cyclades amenities!

    Sifnos is a relaxed Cycladic island with all the variety of the more famous islands, without the extensive development. It is a favourite of Matt at www.greektravel.com and he is a great resource for information if you plan to travel there. I went in June before the July/August rush, but it is also good to visit in September or even October if the Indian Summer blesses you with good weather. I travelled from Paros, and since my ferry was an hour late (it does a milk run from Athens to Paros to Serifos before reaching Sifnos)I had to listen HARD to hear when we got there (since Serifos sounds a ... more

    4 Stars Kos - An island not to be missed 19/07/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Calm, Peaceful

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not the holiday if you're after excitement,

    KOS is one of the many minor islads surrounding Greece. I went there hoping for great weather, nice beaches and plenty to do - I was not disappointed. The first thing that struck me about KOS was the magnificant weather that was present. During my stay for 2 weeks I hardly ever saw a cloud in the sky and I never, during the day, did not see the sun. The beaches were magnificant. Pleasant, sunny, quiet, and the sea was crystal clear. Snorkaling was a very popular task I used to do nearly everyday. The tropical fish that can be seen there are magnificant to watch. The night-life is pleasently ... more

    5 Stars Kardamena, Kos 06/09/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages karamena is very small you can do the whole island in a couple of weeks

    Disadvantages Disadvantages when i first went it was'nt to commercialised now it is very touristy

    When i first went to Kardamena, Kos It was very quiet, well as quiet as it was going to be with a few hundred brits on the island anyway! That was in 2002 and i have been there every year since with the exception of this year ,The atmosphere is warm and friendly and in several places people have recognised me and my partner every time we have been back and that is just fantastic, and i have to say that if that isn't customer care then what is, if after meeting you once they remember you and greet you with open arms every year. If you go you must go to 'TASTEY CORNER' they are open 23 hours a ... more

    5 Stars Milos - Beach Heaven 06/07/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Beautiful, Nice Beaches, Food, Easy Accessible

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too many Beaches to choose from!!!

    This beautiful island is north of Athens and can be accessible by ferry or plane. I used the ferry to get there which cost roughly £20 and then the plane on the way back which was roughly £20. It took over 4 hours to get by ferry but only half an hour on the plane!! Try to avoid going in early august time as this tends to be when all the greeks go on holiday so its hard to get anything booked. I stayed in a flat with two bedrooms and a big kitchen and living room. It was basic but only cost £25 per couple per night. This island is very greek which is its beauty and has no english restaurants ... more
