Default Re: Greek island recs and info request

I think Santorini is a must and Mykonos would be the other standard one.

I would not recommend Ios at all with your gf since its basically just a backpacker party haven, drink all night and beach all day. Maybe youre into that sort of thing but you can get it on any other island that has other stuff to offer as well without so many shallow 19 year olds running around...or it could be that I just had a bad experience there [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

There are plenty of other lesser visited islands that im sure are well worth checking out, though I can't speak for them personally.

As far as hotels, I shared a modest 2 bed room on the beach side of Santorini for 12.5e a night (25 total), this was the low season as well. 50m from the black sand beach, totally recommend. Unfortunately I can't remember the name, but it was owned by some guy who was just picked us up off the ferry with no reservation or anything.
