Athens - great city
Corfu - not my favourite
Vouliagmeni - beautiful 30 years ago
Paxos - fab but expensive
Anti-Paxos - even better but not easy to get to
Lesvos - the BEST

Almost panicked there Kiltman!.. then I realised you must be kidding having seen your posts on Parga.com.... but yes ..let's keep it quiet eh?
Corfu Town 8/10 ( A few years ago though!)
Lesvos - Molyvos 9/10 (Picture Postcard)
Kefalonia - Laasi 7/10 (To "built for tourists" really but perhaps the best selection of restaurants I've come across - parts of the island would rate 8 or 9/10 Fiskardo, Assos & Lixouri)
Crete - Chania 9/10 as close to my ideal as I can get - love it. Traffic problems in town loses the point.
Crete Rethymnon 8/10 pushes Chania all the way!
Pelion - Lafkos 9/10 Gorgeous and unspoilt. We went too early in the season - bad timing would have been 10 I'm sure.
Isn't great that we are all different!

I have just booked a holiday to Roda in Corfo has anyone been there, whats it like, is it expensive etc. Any info would be greatly appreciated, I have never been to greece before.
Went to Samos in July, staying at the Kalidon Palace Hotel in Kokkari, and it was excellent. Samos has now leaped to the best island we have visited and we could not fault this lovely hotel. Off to Rhodes in September so will let you know where that comes in the table.
I've been to Sidari and visited Roda for the day. Its quite nice and the beach is very good (sandy and very long with coves and beach bars). The town itself looked a little quite but to be honest it was the day and everywhere in Corfu looks quite through the day, even Corfu Town. If you get a chance, go to Paleokastritsa and have a look in the monastery above the beach. Also the small speed boat trips there are good value for money. A must, due to you being at the top of Corfu, is to go to Sunset Beach in Sidari at around sunset. The views are breathtaking whilst you sit and have a drink at the top of a cliff overlooking tha Albanian skyline. I would recommend hiring a car but watch those tight roads when going up and down the hills because when encountered with a coach they stop for nothing. Have a nice holiday 
Crete - Platanas just outside Rethymon with 5 other lads long time ago and same resort as a couple 8/10 both times but for different reasons.
Corfu - Acharavi with the lads again 8/10 (I think!!!)
Aegina - Aghia Marina first time to Greece with my partner, it was April and really quiet. 9/10
Kos - Kos Town loved the whole island, the beaches, bars, tavernas and people all fantastic. Probably the best bus service I have come across in Greece. 10/10
Rhodes - Ixia really enjoyed Rhodes Town especially the Old Town, and most of the island, didnt like Ixia at all, small beach, food and service in tavernas not great, because of this we stopped going to Greece for about 4 years. Ixia 0/10 rest of island 7/10
Kefalonia - Lassi what a way to reintroduce ourselves to Greece, everything was amazing. 10/10
Pelion Peninsular - Platanas for a quiet week in April, only 3 tavernas and 1 shop, absolute heaven. 10/10
Pelion Peninsular - Agios Ioannis superb beaches, excellent food, lovely people 10/10
Pelion Peninular - Afissos same as Ioannis couldnt choose between the two 10/10
Peloponnese - Stoupa same as the above two except maybe the food was better 10/10
Have also been on day trips to many other islands, my favorite being Hydra.
Also worked on Cyprus for 2 years and holidayed ther 7 times, at first 10/10 now I wouldnt go back unless it was free.
Time for an update, just got back from two weeks in Alikanas on Zakynthos, 7/10 beach wasnt up to much, luckily the pool was ok, food in the tavernas was excellent, although a bit commercialised for us (maybe a bit spoiled after the mainland), nice island but the worst thing was waking up in the morning and being able to see Kefalonia across the water.
Maybe Lesvos next year, or Croatia.
Updated Decided on Finikounda next August.

Went to Zante in 2003, Alykanas. We found this lovely and peaceful. Beach not too good, but when you live beside the beach at home, that's not too important. Nice relaxing holiday 8/10 - met some great brits who we are still in contact with there.
Went to Kefalonia last year, Lourdas, again very quiet, made Alykanas look commercial! In the middle of a residential area, with pool and small apartment block. Downside would be VERY steep hills, miles to beach, but upside was the food and the people a definite 9/10 for us.
Off to Tolon on Sunday for a week and read a few good reviews of the resort, though not much to be found on the hotel Aris where we are staying.

Started going to Greece about 12 years ago, started off in Rhodes 9/10 returned a couple of times to Trianda which seemed to become quite commercialised so would drop rating to 6/10. Then went to Zante returning twice 7/10. Next we tried Crete returning a couple of times Myrtos South East 10/10, Bali 6/10, then on to Leros 10/10, Kos 5/10 (hated it) Agistri 10/10 would love to return one day, back to Lindos on Rhodes to get married (therefore have to give it 10/10) Santorini 10/10 then returned 2 years later 8/10 Finikounda 11/10 Naxos 7/10 thinking of going to Alonossis in May will let you know !
Went to Alonisos August 1998 to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversery turned out to be the worse Greek holiday we have every had there was no beach we are not beach people nowhere to go on the Island you had to go by hovercroft or sea ferry to visit anywhere, in the brochure it sounded wonderful but was full of German, Italian, an nationalitiys which of course are entitled to be there but Manos made it out to be a very unpopluatted area.
