Greece

[madandana]

Dana and I are thinking about checking out Greece in September. Just starting my research. Looking for a seaside town with great bars, restaurants, shops. One of our favorite towns is Sitges Spain so something along that line. Not to big but big enough to have everything we need. We are not real big on excursions but what are the not to miss sight seeing things? I’ve already got a message into Yiorgos I know he’s from there.

 

Thanks

So just looking for a seaside town to bask in the sun? Why not pick Paphos in Cyprus in stead. GREAT cigar place with possibility to stock up or just smoke along ?

Actually suggested that to Dana last June.

We've been wanting to hit Greece for a few years now so may see you there!

I spent a day and a half in Heraklion, Crete . Ticked all the boxes you're looking for!

My wife is Greek and we plan on going to Greece this summer with our son just before his first birthday.

She has family there that we will visit.  We will be in Nafpaktos (near Patras) and Kardamyli (close to Kalamata).  Both towns are on the water and very beautiful.  Nafpaktos is more of a place that you visit if you are from there.  Kardamyli is a hidden gem.  The neighboring town of Stoupa is also great.

Lefkada would be some place I would recommend also.

Cheers!

You can have a great holiday on an island named Kythira.. google it. 

Its low key, some of the best beaches in Greece, great food at locals prices.... very few tourists 

Before we went there i read a review that noted - whatever time you plan on staying in Kythira, Double it.
