Well after always suggesting Helen and I take our first Holiday together instead of going with her parents, she has finally turned round and actually suggested it herself  so we seem to have settled on Greece. So, I was after suggestions of where to go? Best places to stay etc, anyone have anything to suggest it would be greatly appreciated |

Santorini is a great island. You can fly straight in, have a choice of black, red or white pebbly beaches. It was a volcano years ago so you get all kinds of strange volcanic stuff, watersports, horse riding and bars or clubs at night. I think you have to pre-book hotels because it can get busy at some times of the year and you need to travel to get from the hotel to the beach.. unless you get a hotel near a beach  |

So...... another Helen is travelling to Greece? Didn't Troy get mad last time? XD
Sorry, hope you have a great time wherever you go in Greece.

Bit backwards isn't that byrant? Greece was mad (ok, Sparta was mad) that Helen went to Troy.

Be sure to loot something nice for her if you go to Athens, and remember, you two can always enjoy a nice, romantic molotov cocktail together on a hotel balcony, the evening illuminated by burning government buildings.
I jest, but still, make sure to keep yourselves safe while you're there. Granted it's not a civil war or anything, but with the current unrest, it can't hurt to be a little cautious.

Don´t worry about the unrest, that´s now and than a demonstration in Athene, don´t join and you will be fine. Greece is one of my most favorite country's for holidays. Crete is a nice Island but Santoriny is lovely like Cheminhaler says and the distances are easier. Not to big, and you can get enough rent mopeds and quads if you do not want or can´t car hire. And you will find on Santorini more than enough of the world famous blue domed roofs you see on all the pictures. And also take a look at the Island Rodhos, in fact all the touristic Islands are good. Perfect for short holidays !!!!! Just pick the best offer from your Travel Agent. If you want you visit the mainland I suggest you rent a car, and be there for a longer time, otherwise the distances will be a hinder (public transport is obviously done in a Greek way  ) |

I'm jealous.
Anyways, don't display wealth and try not to act American because I believe Americans are universally hated.

Thank you everyone I will be showing these suggestions to Helen in a few weeks. Hopefully we'll sort something out soon! Greece seems to be a good spot, but are there any other suggestions? Different places that are worth looking into? |

My wife used to be a travelagent and has been to greece sooo many times, she said Skiathos and Skopolos are really beautiful for more of a relax and do nothing kinda holiday... Depends what you want out of the holiday really.
I on the other hand have been to at least 30 countries many many times and Venice is by FAR the best place on earth. The armoury near st marks square is just... Ridiculous!
