Where’s everyone heading this summer?
I just booked us a place in Crete, booked plane ride from Athens to Crete, booked ferry from Crete to Rhodes (with a day in Karpathos), and booked plane tickets from Rhodes to Athens. Did it all online.
It’s amazing, the flights and the ferries are so inexpensive. The place we will be staying is in Agios Nikolas, Crete, is beautiful with our bungalow room looking onto the sea of Crete. 3 minute walk to the beach.
I can’t wait.
Re: Summer Vacations
I would do anything to go to Greece. :( sigh Please, take lots of photos and post them when you get back.
Re: Summer Vacations
Madhanee, I think you go to Greece every summer so you should be quite the expert compared to the rest of us. :)
Tell me, which is your favourite spot? Which island has the most to offer? Have you been to Cyprus? When is the best time to go to avoid tourists but get good weather?
Re: Summer Vacations
The best time to visit is anytime between April and October… June July August are very touristy… actually August is pretty good time to go to Athens… caz all Athenians leave for islands in August, and it is less crowded, and there’s plenty to do and see in Athens (at least a weeks’ worth).
We do go to Greece (roughly every other summer) and my favorite is the southern coast of Peleponisos (any thing from Kalamata to Nafpoli to Yethion) and I think from the island groups, I like the Cyclades – (the whitewashed houses and churches). but any island is good for me, I like the Aegean islands also. I love the Med.
My mother in law comes (she died a few years ago) from Volos (in Pelion, mainland Greece) and that’s also a very neat place to visit. Father in Law is Maniati (from Mani region) of the Peleponisos.
Greece is really a wonderful place to visit. I can never have enough of it. Lovely people, great food, great beaches. All around fun palce to visit.
Re: Summer Vacations
Madhanee what rate did you get for your vacation?
we're trying to figure out our summer plans but have yet to decide..want to take adavantage of the NYC cheap fares
Re: Summer Vacations
Rates for plane tickets for within Greece is like 100 Euros per leg, Ferries are 100 Euro per cabin, the place we are staying is somewhat pricey, like 3500 Euros for 2 weeks in Crete and I have yet to book something for Rhodes for 4-5 days.
Tickets from here to Greece is roughly 1400 dollars r/t...

Re: Summer Vacations
^ Fully agree.
I’d rather go to BC and enjoy all the nice scenic places there, or is it Alberta? :s
Re: Summer Vacations
Umar and Sadiyah, which places do you think are boring? Please name them. Thanks.
Actually i am not planning to go the cities but to the national parks like Fundy National Park, Cape Breton Highland Park and PEI park...are they boring too? I would love to know..if any of you have been to those :)
