Holidays in Greece

Oh lovely!

I've been to Greece twice. In 2001 I went to the Halkidiki region and stayed in a place near Pefkehori which was lovely but basic.

In 2004 me and my H went to Corfu and we stayed in a place called Arillas. A really beautiful place which was small enough to be quiet and friendly but not too small that you felt you were stranded. I'd go back there for sure.

I love Greece!

We're going to Corfu on Monday. I've been there a few times and also to Zante, Rhodes and Kos. I got married in Rhodes in 2007.

I've never been camping but most of the hotels are pretty cheapish, it all depends on what you want. We prefer to stay somewhere more Greek so a bit more basic but this year we've decided to hire a villa as my parents are also going. If you go early in the season in May or late in Sept/Oct you get the best deals. It's also pretty nice weather as it's warm in the day but cooler in the evenings.

I love Corfu. Been three times now, staying in the north, south and east of the island. Last trip was to Kalami on the east which is a teeny tiny little place. Very, very quiet but with some excellent restaurants. There are a few Kalami fans on here actually, as I remember a thread last year when people were talking about the Adonis Apartments (Self-catering) which is where we stayed. The apartments are well equipped, fridge, cooker thing, balcony furniture etc and also choice of two pools plus the beach. Can't remember what we paid but was good value for September, £350 ish each I think,

The rest of the island is just as beautiful providing you stay away from the likes of Kavos. Paleokastritis is another favourite of mine although only been over there when have rented a car.

I've just got back from Santorini which is absolutely stunning and tres romantic. I know there arre campsites there, one near Fira and I think one other maybe? I would have thought it would be bloody hot camping though!

A couple of years ago I went to Skiathos which was really lovely too.

We go to Allonissos every year (my Dad lives there) and we love it. I don't know about camping there though but rooms are pretty cheap from what I recall.
