"Cheap" Greek Island sought!
A few years ago this usenet group was most helpful in suggesting a
venue for a family Greek island beach holiday without - as basil fawlty would put it - any "riff raff". With this help we identified Sifnos, and in particular vathi which has proved to be absolutely spot on - quiet, hardly any Brits (and certainly no multi tatted,. sov ringed and shell suit wearing ones!) but suitably down to earth - no vast array of water sports, discos and other modern trappings. However its own success has invery recent times driven the cost of accomoadtyion up dramatically ... 50% increases in two years, and now typically in excess of 150 euros a night for the 5 of us. As such are there any other possible venues in the Greek islands that anyone can suggest? Typically I suppsoe we'd be looking for * island with no flight access ie Ferry only (but ferry journey 3 hours from port). Port could be not only Piraeus but anywhere where its fairly easy to fly to e.g. any of the package holiday islands * beaches suitable for middle aged children (9, 12, 14) and parents - maybe a taverna on the beach ? :-) Where some reasonable swimming is possible (Vathi has a 750m wide bay that is perfect for a pre breakfast swim there and back), no great surf (ie not dealing with waves constantly) * "cheap" accomodation for 5 ( 100 Euros a night) with some basic cooking facilities *basic services e.g. taverna, local shop for basic foodstuffs etc I appreaciate that's a fairly specific list ... but feel free to suggest away if you have a place in mind but don;t have any other specifics anyway. And if I sound like a holiday snob... well.. I'll have to accept that accusation I guess. We know what we want and what we don;t :-) cheers ian |
