Hi all,


I hope you might be able to help me with your recommendations and experiences of Greece. We are planning to go to Greece this summer but don't know exactly where to go? Which parts do you recommend? I really don't like places that are heaving with tourists. Just a quiet island with a beach or a cove with nice restaurants and bars.. We've never been before so I don't know where to start. Any recommendations or input really welcome.


Thanks,

Greece is becoming popular again. I run a retreat out on the beautiful island of Kefalonia. I?m not pushing the retreat, but you are welcome. However the island is stunningly beautiful with many secluded beaches, green mountains, delightful people, Turtles & plenty of sunshine. It?s not too busy & the best beaches are on the southern part of the island. We are above a small beach 3 Kms down a farm track with our friends who run a delightful taverna with sublime sunsets & simple food & wine. It only takes 3 1/2 hours from Gatwick

Plenty of places to rent a boat or take a tour round the island

Good luck


Nigel

Thanks for this Midivydale. I have been looking into Paxos and it seems so beautiful. I will look into Kefalonia. Is it touristy? I really hate large crowds of people or too touristy beaches. I liked paxos because it seems rather quiet there. My daughter is 8 and likes swimming and reading so thought of booking a villa. Where did you stay in Kefalonia?

Maybe you could pm me. Many thanks.



Also Nigel, Will you be able to pm me more info? Thanks for getting in touch.

    • I usually use Mason and Green recently to get to Heathrow. They arrived early and were extremely reliable. The cars are immaculate and had friendly drivers. They also provide child seats for all ages. Used them at 6am. 
    • I think you can write to your local council to get the street cleaned more regularly. Also the may put more posters up to remind ppl to do clean up 
    • Absolutely right.  The other issue is that rescue centres like Celia Hammond make it nearly impossible to adopt a kitten or cat that desperately needs a home. I know many many people who have tried to adopt and have been refused, and only one couple who have been deemed to have a good enough home. The reasons people have been refused have been that they aren't in a position to take two kittens - unless it's changed recently you weren't considered unless you took 2 as cats  wouldn't be homed without a companion. But lots of people can't afford to feed and insure 2 pets. Another reason I've heard several times is that the potential adoptee lives on a road, not an A road or the south circular but just a road. But what is the other option they're looking for? A country estate? Another reason a couple of friends have been refused is that they have jobs and Celia Hammond said that they were looking for people who were at home all day . So again, what are they looking for? People who can afford not to work?  We are told 'adopt don't shop' but out of the many many families or individuals I know who have tried to give a loving home to a kitten / cat literally only a couple have been accepted, so have ended up buying a kitten. People who have had cats all their lives and adore cats. Of course it's important that adoptees are vetted but it's problematic that cat charities are deciding that a cat / kitten without a home would rather live in a cage at a rescue centre than with a loving person who has a job or lives on a road or cannot afford to pay for the upkeep of more than one pet. My friend has recently tried for months to adopt kittens or cats through various centres and although she was prepared to take two, was rejected by all rescue centres  as she lives on a (quiet) residential road in ED and doesn't work from home every day. She works from home 3 days a week. It's insane.
