Greece

Planning to go to Cyprus in Sept. Looking for good beaches, restaurants, and Cyprot atmosphere (no pubs or fish and chips). Where would be a good area to book a holiday?

We are three ladies in our late 20s. We only have three days in Crete and are arriving into and out of Heraklion. We figured we would head on over to Chania after one night in Heraklion and stay there for 3 days. Unfortunately, we have an early ferry ride to Santorini on the morning of the 4th day out of Heraklion. Does anyone reccommend a better way to get to Santorini from Crete? Is there a ferry ride that leaves directly from Chania? Or do have to take the bus to get back to Heraklion? Is Chania even worth visiting or shall we stay on the other side of Crete to avoid the travel hassel?

What time of year is best to travel to the Greek Islands?
April, May, Sept or October?

What do you think of Holland and Costa Cruises to the Greek Islands? Which cruise line has decent food/cabins?

For land tours, do you like Brendan or Globus?

Is it better to take a land tour/cruise or just a cruise to see the Greek Islands?

Airfare from New York (JFK) to Athens, Greece is expensive. Any suggestions for cheaper airfares? Sites?

Can you suggest any travel sites to research for land tours and cruises lines?

Please, don't take this wrong BUT only locals and experts on the Greek Islands answer. I'm in the research stage and I need some good advice and direction to follow.

Thank you very much. I appreciate your help.

I know that Greeks used to support Kurds..

But now that Greek and Turkish relationships are better.. do Greeks still support the Kurds

Time efficient would be nice too, but its the money really that matters.

I guess they finally realized that even their current "land" belongs to us Greeks...

Well, we know that greeks value their religion to a great extent...

But are you telling me that a greek man cannot marry a Middle Eastern woman because she is not a greek orthodox???

Will his family (Mother) ever accept this union?

Have you heard that my beautiful country is in fire? From Trimiklini dam up to Saitas - Pelendri - Moniatis - Amiantos forest fire is burning houses and our forests ! We have only a few choppers and firemen are fighting for every bush and tree to save ! Israel and Italy will send their airplanes tonight round 10pm to help, but what until then?
Limassol is covered by clouds of smoke, the wind is getting stronger at this hour - and I do not know how to help. We tried to go up there to help, but were stopped by police: they are evacuating people from the mountain, bringing children back from summer camping sites.
I am desperate.......................................................................

i really doubt it
they want us to believe that the fires are caused because of the heat but the most of the fire are caused by arsonists and nobody has ever been punished
the politicians all show that they care but after a few months they dont even remember
the same thing is going to happen again
all of them are such ba*****

On all the islands and around Athens the beaches all have the small pebbles on them. Do the larger islands like Rhodes, Crete, Santorini etc (excuse if spelled wrong) have the pebbles also? Where is the best beach near to Athens without using the ferry but a taxi or city bus?

Dear friends, I just wanted to let you know that this weather is not normal in Greece, it is an extreme heatwave, so make sure you take precautions, like not going up on the Acropolis at mid-day, not making the tour of the centre of Athens on foot today, etc. I am saying this, because tourists expect Greece to be warm, so sometimes they don't realize this is something out of the ordinary, they think, "well, this is what Greece is supposed to be like, Greeks live here all the time, so we can make it too". But Greeks have been very careful for the past week, the TV says to stay in an air-conditioned area, we don't go out if we don't have to. This is an extreme temporary phenomenon. Fortunately, it will be better tomorrow and during the week-end we'll be fine. Go to the sea if you can, but wear a hat and sun-cream.
