We've booked flights to Athens for 8 nights in April. Very excited as our two girls aged 9 and 10, are Ancient Greece nuts!


So we're thinking of 4 nights in Athens itself, and then 4 nights chilling on an island, but don't know which island to go for - not too far so we only spend a few hours on internal travel..


Does anyone have any recommendations for islands, accommodations, things to do/avoid etc pl?


Thanks!

Not an island but Peloponnese is well worth visiting and close to Athens.

Re. accomm, once you find an area you like check on one of the owner's direct websites for affordable places to rent, you often deal with the owner directly and therefore save ???? in commission to agents...

I would always recommend Corfu. As far away from Kavos as you can- so north of the Island.


I spent a summer there 20 years ago working in a bar and we arrived the weekend before Easter.


Easter itself was very special, all except for the constant baa-ing from lambs kept on a rope in back gardens for the big day, then the sacrificial cutting of throats.


The spit roasted result was wonderful though!

I went there years ago and thought it was great.


Then onwards to Santorini.

    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath.
