Honeymoon on Greek Island

Hi all

Myself and my Fiancee are planning to go to a greek island for our
honeymoon in August. We are looking for somewhere nice and relaxing
but with enough places to eat and drink to keep us occupied for 10
days or so. At the moment out preferred choice is Kos but wondered if
anyone on here could either give us a better alternative or suggest
somewhere on Kos that would match our requirements

Thanks for any info recieved

Hi, August of course is the busiest month of the year in Greece,
and most of Europe. As Kos is one of the more tourist islands I
would imagine it will be quite busy and bustling and not that
relaxing, but I may be wrong as I have never been there.

Where would I suggest. Well what about Chios. Lovely working
island, not very touristy at all but with plenty of places to eat
and drink, a lovely town and harbour and lots of beaches. Also
lots of nice villages to visit, very interesting history and the
village of Mesta which is in the old style where all the rooves
meet each other to provide a sort of underground town complete
with goats, tavernas etc., to keep the invaders out.

We went over there for five days whilst living in Halkidiki
(which is also lovely, but in august perhaps not so good a choice
as all the Greeks come from Thessaloniki and it gets very very
busy). Five days in Chios, we made the museum to track my Greek
family. Drove north, south and west and saw loads of villages,
beaches, typical Greek shops and also the gorgeous main town. We
never made the east as we ran out of time. Loads of places to
eat. Could definitely take you ten days to explore, relax and eat
your way through your honeymoon.

We definitely would go again.

Skopelos is nice too, however that is more onthe tourist map too
so may be that bit busier.

Chios I believe you can fly to from Athens, or catch a ferry.

Another nice working island, Leros. You fly to Rhodes and it is
a four hour boat ride (from memory). Worth it though.

Just a couple of ideas. Have a great honeymoon.
