1. Skiathos (paradise)
2. Zante (dear little Alikes)
3. kefalonia (green !!)
4. Corfu (maybe not so good now)
5. Crete (it was hot !!)

So far we have visited only five islands...!

1 - Symi (gorgeous harbour, absolutely stunning)
2 - Serifos (fantastic walking opportunities and quiet beaches)
3 - Kimolos (so friendly, such an interesting old town too)
4 - Rhodes (lots to see and do, but popular with cruise ships and we had some bad experiences with poor food and expensive lodging)
5 - Milos (many beautiful beaches, terrific food and adorable fishing villages, but not much to do)

You really are spoiled for choice. A 2 week holiday just isn't enough!

In no particular order...

1) Crete
2) Kefalonia
3) Ithaka
4) Lefkada
5) Santorini

Overall, I prefer the Ionion sea climate as it never really gets unbearably hot. Santorini landscape is hard to beat though.
