You should go to Rhodos, had many Swedes/Norwegians and Finns from what I remember..also a few Danes.

Other than that there were Dutch/Romanians and Israelis.

Try to stay in Rhodos town.

[drasticallyspeaking]

Can't go to Rhodos unfortunately as I'm on the 90 / 180 days visa-free in Schengen area dealio for Americans. I can't go back into Schengen until July, so I'm looking for a non-Schengen place to scope out the Scandis and see if it's worth going to Sweden in July after all.

Any updates from the Greek Islands this season? I'm tempted to hit it for the loose women from around the world, but being surrounded by a bunch of annoying, shirtless bro types puts me off.

[Chengiz88]

Gonna be in the Cyclades this summer will hit this place up with any worthwhile intel

[jamaltyrone]

any of you guys going to Corfu?
i d love to meet

[jcrew247]

Gonna try to go to Santorini and Rhodes.

Does anyone know if Kos is still flooded with migrants and refugees? Does it suck now as a party town?

[StackGsMan]

Bump.

I'm heavily considering going to Crete, Rhodes, Corfu and/or Ios this summer for June and July. I've read this entire thread but still have questions.

Anyone here gone island hoping in the Greek isles that can give some advice?

Yes, Kos is full of them along with Lesvos.

Was in Santorini in October place is beautiful. Definitely recommend it if you just want to chill out and fully detox/recharge your batteries.

LOL...your right its pretty hilly, plus when I went it felt like half of China was visiting at the same time.
I still remember eating breakfast on the terrace overlooking the crater sun shining for some reason it tasted a lot better than my normal food

[Chengiz88]

Want to visit Mykonos and Zante this summer heard there lot noiseier and upbeat compared to Santorini

I think I went there 7 or 8 times. Worst time to go to Santorini is from 15 July to 30 August. It's way too crowded, plus you dont get to enjoy the island. I've been going to Greek Islands for 15 years by now, best time is to visit in June for sure.

[Tmart901]

Which islands were your favorite Rossi ?

[rudebwoy]

Kos was nice 20 years ago, shame about the migrants.

Rhodes was fun as well.

I went in Oct at the end of the season was still busy but I can only imagine the crazy Chinese tourists there during peak season. Will check your advice about June when planning Mykonos/Zante. Is it possible to do Mykonos/Zante on a long weekend (Thurs - Sunday) ?

[StackGsMan]

Yes, it's possible.

I lost count how many Greek islands I went by now. Probably over 50 islands by now. Whatever you do, do NOT go in August.

Best time is June, maybe first week of July or September. As you can imagine, streets are not like 5th Avenue in NYC, they're tiny. It gets really annoying when you go in August.

August is the worst of worst time to go to vacation to any Greek island. Simple rooms that are €25 in May, €30 in June, go up to €120-150 in August. My friend works as a guide in Mykonos/Santorini for travel agency, he said Santorini's population is around 7,000 normally. In last August, population was 180,000 each day.

You can't even walk without touching someone's shoulder.

[Beirut]

But are there people/girls in enough numbers as early as may?

Yes, easier too. Not much competition.

[Tmart901]

So I'm planning to make a trip to Rhodes in June I was wondering which town would be the best place to stay in. I'm 24 and trying to party.

[jackflag]

Gonna be in Santorini this June if anybody's gonna be there/interested in meeting up.

[Beirut]

Tmart stay in rhodes town. Hit the east side beaches some days by bus.

[MrRoundtree]

I don't know if my datasheet still applies, but Rhodos was paradise for scandinavian girls but they were really young (16-21).

[TheBowery]

What would be the top 3 to cover if you only have a week, and what is the best way to get from one island to another? Santorini, Mykonos, Ios?
