Hi everyone, had a great time staying at archaladies, haven,t been back since 2002 when me and my better half stayed for a month, although prices have gone up, the Greek hospitality, stays the best in the world, done the usual beach,drinking, and catching up with friends we made 6 years ago, certainly won,t leave it another 6 years till we return Smile

Glad you had a good time and fell in love with Skiathos all over again Smile

Which other islands have you seen & which would you recommend? We've been to Skiathos every year for the last four years, this year my other half says we should try somewhere different (although I'd be happy to go back to Skiathos again). He quite fancies Kefalonia but I'm not sure. It would only be a quick week in Sept and I like knowing the best places to eat, etc. If we went somewhere new we'd have to start from scratch.

Hi ya, we have been to crete, rhodes, both north and south cyprus, also had a couple of trips to turkey,and we go to spain in the winter,bestest holiday for me was north cyprus, a bit of a jog getting there, but now you can fly into south cyprus and arrange transport to the north, crete was good , the best trip there was a trip to spinolonga, which was the last leper colony in europe, it was fasinating to hear about the history and the lives of the people who lived there

There's a very good book by Victoria Hislop, wife of Ian, called The Island which is based on Spinalonga - have lent it to lots of people who have never been to Greece and they have really enjoyed it - it's even better if you know and love Greece!!!!
