      Hi all,
      I just wanted to know if there are any tennis courts in Santorini that are independent i.e. not attached to any hotel and open to public. We are staying in Fira for a week. If there are any, do they provide racquets to adults and kids?

    • Crete for 3 weeks...but where?!

      Greece May 7, 2013 at 12:16 PM

      My wife and I are fortunate enough to have 3 weeks to spend in Crete this coming summer; woot!

      Our main interests are; 1) Seeing historical sites; 2) Enjoying charming towns and good tavernas; and 3) Seeing the ocean.

      That said, we are at a quandary regarding where to stay. We do NOT want to move around every few days, so have come up with a few options:
      1) Spend 1 week in Sitia, seeing the eastern part of the island; Spend 1 week in Rethymno; Spend 1 week in Chania....and of course, a couple nights Iraklion to fly in and out and see Knossos.

      2) Spend 1.5 weeks in Rethymno; and 1.5 weeks in Chania

      3) Spend 1.5 weeks in Chania OR Rethymno; spend 1.5 weeks somewhere in the south.
      So.... what does everybody think?

      In advance, many thanks : )

      Santorini Island 22 hours ago

      Hi, I'll be in Santorini for 3 days (early July) with a couple of friends and we're looking for a cheap/decent place to stay if possible. We found out that there's a lot of accommodations in Fira, Imerovigli and Perissa.

      However, we'll still unsure of which area would be the best in terms of prices and its accessibility to other areas in santorini. Basically, our itinerary for the 3 days would be to explore around as much and also to relax and enjoy the sceneries. Hope to get some insights. =)

    • Greek Islands

      Greece May 4, 2013 at 7:42 PM

      Hello all,
      I would like to know how to visit some of the of Greek islands for example Santoroni, Mekonos, Naxos may be Rhodes from Ahtens? how many days we need to travel , I feel one day may not be enough. Please advice me.
      I am also thinking in this way, please let me know if this is good. Since we are coming to Istanabul first and planning to fly to Athens after few days in Istanabul, may be we should drive down to Izmir take a ferry from there to these islands and finally reach Athens instead of flying. What do you guys suggest about that route? If we do this way which port we should start on Turkey side? and how many days we need to reach Athens from there. We dont want to spend more time in each island, we just want to have a feel of that place. We are planning to go there later again in few years. I would appreciate as much as information you can give to help me plan my trip, thanks in advance

    • Samos - Mykonos Ferry October Schedule

      Hello, Does anyone know if there is a ferry on October 4 (Tuesday) from Samos to Mykonos. I kept on checking Greekferries.gr website, but it looks like they only have it till the last Tuesday in September. I am so worried because Oct.4 is less than 4 weeks away and I am now suspicious that maybe there is no ferry. I don't know whether to continue to wait not knowing if the schedule is published later or there is just no ferry, in which case, I should change my itinerary. If anyone of you know what the situation is is, please help me out with the info.

    • Getting from Samos to Athens or Mykonos

      by lxkd Online Now Jan 17, 2007 at 10:52 PM

      Hi! We need to get from Kusadasi in Izmir to either Mykonos or Athens in April this year. So far we have only been able to find a (rather expensive!) ferry that goes from Kusadasi to Samos. A couple of questions: 1) From Samos is there any ferry that we can take to get to Mykonos or Athens? So far none of the major ferry websites like http://www.ferries.gr/ and http://www.greekferries.gr/ seem to have such an option. In fact, how DOES one get out of Samos by ferry to any of the other major Greek islands? Is Samos being listed under another name on the websites? 2) Alternatively, is there any ferry that goes straight from Kusadasi to Mykonos or Athens (or any other major Greek island)? Being able to book the tickets online or at least book in advance would be a great plus. Thanks in advance for the help! Really appreciated. warm regards lxkd

      Greek Island Ferries

      Hey My wife and I have now settled our plans - and hope to travel from Kusadasi (Turkey) via Samos thru some other greek islands, over to Athens. Two questions: a) We will begin our travels on the 22 July 04, do we need to book ferry tickets before hand, or can we just rock up on the day and expect to get a berth? b) If we need to pre book - then does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? I have found a couple of websites that offer it, but only in combination with their choice of accomodations - and we on a tight budget so hoping to hostel it (or camp or pension). Any suggestions well appreciated. Cheers Drew
