Kali mera, how about talking about kos, i hear from family that they are having a tough summer there..........very slow, and the island is sooooooooobeautifull.

[Fafos]

From reading this board I hear that you have alot of knowledge on Athens and Greece. I really would love to here your input on a few things. We will be in Athens from September 3-5. On the 3rd we will be doing alot of things on our own. On the 4th we are still trying to figure out what to do. We are very adventurous people and love to go were the tourist normally do not go. I was wondering if you had any ideas. All the tour companies I have emailed give me the tourist things to do. If you have any knowledge on Rhodes as well it would be great. You can email me at Dicrepe2@aol.com. Thanks!

 

at 4th I've return from my cruise so, come in my veranda and we eating and drinking all day and all night:p

 

you can do a nice trip at Saronic islands.. Hydra, Poros, Spetses, Aegina... I know these are tourists places but are very quite (special Hydra)... is very easy to go there with hydrofoil from Pireaus port (very close to metro station)

Greece has in any corner tourists...

 

What do you want know about Rhodes?

 

 

micro yaya@ Kalimera.. Kos is a very nice island but is not for just a day visiting.. you must spend there 5 days or more for see all beauties of this island. You can visit from there Turkey (a half hour with boat), Symi and other Aegean islands..
