So far, we are going to Santorini and Kefalonia/Zante. The other choice is either Crete, or the Pelion area (magnesia pref./volos/etc). Looking for very beautiful scenery, beaches, and experience for a very active group of 6 persons. Thank you so much.

The only problem is tha Santorini is in the Aegean Sea and Kefalonia/Zante in the Ionian so it will be a long trip. Pelion is just excelent. I love this place. Great hikings in from sea to lush mountains. Then, I do not know what you mean by active. If you want to try some extreme sports, you can go in Naxos, Paros (cyclades) or Lefkada (Ionian) for kitesurfing. Or maybe rock climbing in Kalymnos... _________________ Greece - Greek Islands Admin Back to top     travelniki Greeka - Newbie Joined: 09 Oct 2009 Posts: 5     Posted: Mon Oct 12, 2009 9:45 am    Post subject: I'm at a complete loss when it comes to the Greek islands... I have heard so much about so many of them I wouldn't know what to choose now when I travel there. Can someone break down what the difference is between all the islands and which is good for what? I'm looking more to experience culture and beauty as opposed to a wild nightlife or something like that. Thank you!
