The end of April and into May is normally a good time to be in Greece...especially on the Island of Santorini.
Found it to be idyllic! Stayed in Ia (eea) and rented a convertable to see the rest of the island. The weather was very pleasant, warm to hot during the day and cool at night. The crowds were non-existent and the residents were fresh from preparing for the "season" and had not yet endured the throngs of tourists. Everything was open for business.
It, so far, was the most beautiful of the Greek Islands I've been to. I'm leaving shortly for my 3rd trip to them but will be seeing the Ionians for the first time.
By all means watch the sunset from the ruins on the northwest tip of the town of Ia. It is spectacular! The little harbour of Amoudi is at the foot of the cliffs of Ia and is a great spot to have lunch, very charming. Fira can be very busy but has a lot to see with excellent views of the caldera. Take a trip to the southern end of the island and see the black sand beaches of Perivolos and the lighthouse at the Southwest end of the Island. It is a fantastic mix of settings and the beaches are nice (bring shoes for the black beaches, the sand is HOT even at that time of year.

Hi there, the answer is Santorini. I am greek, have been to Greece five times and about 10 islands, while I am aware there are 200+ islands in the country... Santorini is almost far and above all other islands... in fact, if you just google best greek islands lists... Santorini will top anything... also... google images of Santorini.. that's the island you've been seeing in all those paintings you come across over the years... also.. Crete is a lot of people's #2... but it's a big island.. you'll need to rent a car... all of Greece is beautiful.. but trust me... Santorini... don't only trust me.. do the research yourself. There's so much more I want to say about the island... but it's better if you discover it yourself. By the way all of Greece is expensive now days... bring lots of cash and don't let the greeks screw you around, try and stay with english speaking people for help.

In May Santorini is a must. Unique and different from any other place on earth. But not in August. It is like being in a congested bus at rush hour.
