Hi everyone,
I have been on an Interrail trip through Greece & the Balkans in September, and though it was an amazing trip (especially since it was my first trip on my own) there is one thing that has kept bugging me, and i would like to warn you all for it.
Since I was on Interrail, I was on the train from Thessaloniki to Skopje (FYR Macedonia), when I realised I hadnt posted my postcards from Santorini yet, they all had Greek stamps stuck on them so it seemed like a waste of money to have to…
I'm planning a trip which should take around 2 months, starting in Egypt. After my tour in Egypt I heard there are ferries from Alexandria to Crete however I've searched the net and can't find anything useful. Does anyone know anything about this, how much, how often and how accessible?
Okay thanks a lot,
Bridget
Has anyone been to Halki, Symi or Tilos and do you have a preference out of the three or any useful suggestions? We are going to add one of them on to a Rhodes trip for maybe 4 nights. We can't be bothered rushing around more than one as we haven't got time and want a relaxing holiday so want to choose just one of them.
I am considering spending a short time in Greece and Turkey next year and I am looking at options of getting quickly, and not too expensively, from Athens to Istanbul. At the moment I am thinking of flying Agean air from Athens to Alexandroupolis and then getting to Istanbul by land.
1. Agean air website quotes prices with fuel tax included, but without airport taxes and service charge; the full price is only provided after you have given all details including credit card details. I like to know…

Hi guys, im heading from London to Athens on the 18th of december and got a Flight leaving Istambul, bringing me back to London, on the 14th of January.
I havent book anything yet and I was wondering wich one would be the best route to make my way from one city to the other, in terms of best sightseeings, fun and history, on those 4 weeks. I guess that my options would be to go through the Greek Islands or throught the continent. Is it much to see on the continental way to turkey in Greece…

Hi guys,
I am planning on having a 2 wk holiday in Greece in June, am thinking Athens, Paros, Santorini & Naxos. I have been reading through the forums looking for general info and the main thing that strikes me is the ammount of questions from people travelling on honeymoons. I have travelled solo several times before but am rather concerned that it wont be easy meeting other travellers on their own. I dont mean this to be horrible but when I'm travelling alone the last thing you want is to be…

Hi All, we are planning to go to Greece for our honeymoon in mid July 08. We short listed 4 islands (Paros, Naxos, Santorini Crete) but can't decide on one. Does anyone have any suggestions? We are quite adventures, looking for some water activities (diving, water-ski, surfing, ect), great scenery, and authentic experience. We are on $4000 budget for 10 days excluding airfares to greece. Is it worth staying at one island or maybe go for 2? Anyone ideas would be very appreciated.
