What are the best Greek islands to visit and to stay on?

Question

I'm going interrailing in the summer and am visiting greece.I'm looking for some places with a good nightlife and maybe some less touristy places.

Answer 1

Santorini and Mykonos are absolutely beautiful and both have a fun night life...

Answer 2

If you are looking for nite life and the sense of Greece then Kos is the Island to go. It has a big airport so there is no problem getting there by plane and it has a port for all the big ferries.

Kardamena situated in the south of the island has an extremely lively nite life which goes on till the early hours of the morning (6-6:30am). In the summer season this happens every nite June-September.
The island also has quiet towns with little tourism and traditional Greek villages were you cant get that sense of Greece, sitting down drinking red wine enjoying the sunset as it goes down over the other islands and you are chilled back watching the crisp clean blue sea.

The island is also famous for Hippocrates the father of modern medicine and the Hippocratic oath which every doctor in the world has to take this oath. You can visit the places were Hippocrates studied and the ancient hospital.

Hippocrates was the first Doctor to stop believing that evil spirits and ghost made you sick and that there was reason you got ill, he also recommended that physical exercise, healthy eating and hygiene were a great importance in staying healthy and fit.

Overall the island has everything busy nite life quiet towns, beautifully scenery amazing beaches and the Greek way of life which is taking life easy and enjoying it. KOS gets 10/10

Answer 3

Kos is great, there is loads to do and there are touristy and non touristy areas.

Tingaki is a quieter resort but it has just enough restaurants and bars to suit everyone. You can visit neighbouring islands including Rhodes, Kalymnos and nissyros or even go to Turkey for the day.

if you want to rent a bike or a car I recommend Nikos bikes and Nancy rent a car in Tingaki, brilliant.

Answer 4

Santorini and Mykonos are quite touristy - for good reason though. I would recommend Paros and especially Naxos, good nightlife, great beaches, nice traditional villages and interesting monuments, especially Naxos. Not too expensive, either. Also Sifnos-Milos are nice islands, more the type of family holidays, but definitely good food and architecture (Sifnos) and excellent beaches (Milos).

Oh, and Kos is great, great nightlife and beaches and ancient monuments, but it's better to fly there, it's quite far by ferry.

Answer 5

Hi, I would say Cyprus fantastic weather, great food, and the people are so friendly. Protaras is nice, that is very touristy, but Pernera, Cape Greco, Paralimni are not as touristy, i stay in Pernera area every year it is very quiet in the area i stay but the lively areas are only a 50cents bus ride away. Good Luck have a great holiday..................

Answer 6

vast question! Couple of techniques:- Cyprus - Fig Tree Bay, Protaras. Fly into Larnaca. suitable coastline, with secure, crystal sparkling sea. Has a 'strip' with a lot of bars and eating places - yet not alongside the front - in basic terms one or 2 there. For 'way of existence' you're able to do excursions, in case you do not prefer to hire a automobile. Majorca - Sa Coma. suitable coastline, with secure, sparkling sea. a great sort of bars and eating places, the two alongside the prom and additionally set returned from the front. returned, for 'way of existence' you are able to e book a pair of excursions. Sharm El Sheikh - in case you pass, then be careful what inn you %. most of the seashores have coral very on the fringe of the shore, making bathing risky - many have small jetties/piers so which you would be able to pass out previous the coral into the deeper water, to swim.

Answer 7

ive been to Kos which is gorgeous. Is a proper mixture of everything you could possibly want and need. Fab night life ( the main street is called Bar Street - nuff said!) Great food and people. Mixture of interesting places to visit or you could just kick back and do nowt! There is a very slow pace of life during the day and a much more interesting one at night - You will luuuuurrrve it! I did!

Answer 8

I loved Kos. Theres nightlife if you want it in Kos town but if your looking for a quiet night one day then thats easy too!

I went to Tingaki last year. A bus ride away from Kos town where everybody stays for the clubs! Tingaki is really nice and quiet but not dead! Less tourists!

Answer 9

Hi I think Santorini would be the first you should put on your list. I have enjoyed Cret and Corfu, not so much Zante, give that one a miss. Kos not much to see so I wouldnt bother again. Yes its Santorini, Crete and Corfu if you ask me. And you did. Have a great time.

Answer 10

ive been to crete thats nice try hersonossis or malia for nightlife but be warned there a bit mad .kavos corfu ,falaraki kos if you want scenery and great beaches kefalonia is fantastic but not much nightlife .lassi in kefalonia is not bad and theres nightclub in agostoli the capital which is short taxi ride away

Answer 11

instead of looking at the islands why not look at mainland greece, a couple of places that i have visited are parga which is stunning with ample nightlife if you look for it and also stoupa which is situated in the penopolise region equally stunning but quite quiet
