Was there with the Mrs so was a civilised break. Spent every night in the old town which is a must and also right on the marina. It was just nice being surrounded by all that history taking in the vibe looking for different places to eat and drink.

When we go again next year we intend on mixing it up with nights in the new town, fancy hiring a beach buggy and going further afield.

Spot on il be heading to the Marina with the better half
 
Paxos, fly to Corfu and ferry or hydrofoil to Gaios. Lovely place. Paxos in Blue is a series on Netflix, so you can get view of the place.
Went to Lefkada last year, also a beautiful place.
Going to Alonissoss (so) late in the year, very quiet there.

It’s great. Where are you staying ?

We went there on a day trip from Zante.

Have always wanted to go back but haven’t got around to it - yet !

I could see Zante from my balcony. We're thinking about a week away in September. A Greek Island is a possibility.
 
Went to Argassi in Zante last year (first time ever in Greece) and loved it. Nice little resort and Laganas a ten euro taxi if you want somewhere bigger (we never bothered). We're off to Zante again next week but staying in Alykes further up the coast. Greek mainland is a short ferry ride from Zante Town if you fancy that.

Oh wise SMB, we have decided, heatwave and dead TV presenters notwithstanding, that we will be going to visit a Greek island this Summer, but having never been before we have no real idea as to where to go.

The main criteria are that it has to be picturesque, near the water and have plenty of decent tavernas / restaurants where we can sit preferably by a lovely harbour or somesuch and relax with nice local seafood etc. But no thumping house beats from local bars, no cheesy cafes advertising a full bloody english for 5 euros, don't want it to be too built up, and so on. Think Malcesine on Lake Garda but shifted to Greece. Any ideas based on good experiences, anyone?

Kardamena was lovely when I went a few years ago

Enjoyed a night in Kardamena last year. Got a last minute cheapy to Bali in Crete at the end of May which was nice. Old fishing port so plenty of seafood taverna's. Stayed near Evita beach. It's a bit of a trek from Chania and no good if you don't like hills or stairs but at the end of May it was ideal for a quiet week of r&r. The cheap wine and free Raki helped somewhat.

Check out Chania on Crete. It's a brilliant town with many resorts within 20 minutes of it.

You can fly from Newcastle with Ryanair or Jet2.

We've been to Agia Marina virtually every year since 2008 and love it.

Send a PM if you want more info
