Greek Island Tour

Hello Legacy,
I am Greek and living in Kenya. I just spent one month in Greece and had the chance to go to two really nice islands. I went to Hydra (very cute, beuatiful rocky island, great great greaaat for snorkeling and hiking), its considered to a an expensive island- but I think it also depends on the seasons. I also went to Folegandros- also amazing, had the best time snorkeling for hours. Very cute, small, there are many beaches that you can camp on, some are illegal, but everyone camps anyway. I have also been to Rhodes, which was also quite an experience- I worked in a restaurant- here you will see the amazing castles- and people are living in it with lots of shops and accomodation. You will hear so many different languages walking down a street- if you go do explore the island as there are so many amazing places- go to Lindos and walk up the mountain- its all steps untill you reach the top where there is a beautiful ancient temple. Where else lets see. this is all I can think of for now, all the best with yor trip, Alexandra

Thank you Alexandra!

Oh yes Greece is a very good place for visit to with or without family.

There are lots of good beaches too.
I definitely say that everyone will must enjoy at Greece.

dear greeks,

many thanks for the kind hospitality and comments! would february be considered a bad time to visit? i am not a fan of a huge crowd, would there be tourists at this time? I have been told by a travel agent to visit crete for history, what island (Close to crete) would have an active nightlife?

Hello Legacy,

I am a Greek, writting to you from Greece where i live, and more specific Crete.

To answer your questions :
-February is a "quiet" month, i would say. I think in 2013 the canival time is in March, and then Easter and then Summer time...so, yes, i believe Febryary is ok for a "not-fan" of huge crowds. The touristic period here starts around Easter time (Christianic or Catholic - which ever comes first).
-There are many places to visit all over Crete, for someone who is interested in History, culture, nature, etc
-I don't know what you mean by "acive nightlife", but at that time of the year (February) i guess nightlife is almost the same at every islend. The company you are in, is usually the factor which makes the difference!

Thank you eirkak for rhe answers I'll be traveling vy my self
By active nightlife i mean will i find restaurants open for dining etc?

I definitely intend to visit Crete. Im a huge fan of Greek mythology

If that's what you mean by "nightlife" i don't think you will find any problem on that anywhere here in Greece!
I thought you meant finding a club at a village up in a mountain. THAT would be somehow difficult!
