Dreaming of a holiday in Greeece - but which island!?

[hazelnunhead]

I have a real longing to go to Greece this summer - From watching the Durrell's (tv programme) Corfu is high on my list and you can fly to.

But also wondering if anyone had any islands they had been to recently (especially with a tween/teen) that they could recommend either in terms of getting there and where you stayed. The other option is to fly to Athens then take a ferry - any suggestions would be most welcome!

I'm a huge fan on Naxos. Been going for 25 years off and on and still low-key and friendly.

I loved Ithaca. Fly to kefalonia then boat

Thank you - will read up more about Ithaca and Naxos.

Paxos or AntiPaxos

I'd highly recommend Peligoni Club in Zakynthos, especially with a tween in tow.

Thank you for all the information - I have found my old lonely planet Greek island guides so am busy researching and getting closer to a decision.

Skiathos is lovely but maybe a bit too quiet for a teen. Super easy journey, from the plane landing to being in a cafe by the harbour felt like about 5 minutes.

Andros is amazing .. deserted beaches. It's actually near to naxos (which is also lovely) . Andros is very mountainous and really need to hire a car but anazing driving through the mountains. Much lower key than naxos. Tbh you could combine both !

Crete is beautiful - so many different places to visit and you can always include 2-3 places if you're feeling adventurous as so easy to get around. Enjoy wherever you choose!
