In about 6 hours I'll be boarding for the 11 hour flight to Athens. Going for work, but will have two days off and we're trying to get to either Santorini, Mykonos, or Ios.
Moussaka in yer face!

My Dad's in Mykonos at the moment, for a couple of weeks.
The look on his face when I asked "isn't that the island where all the gay blokes go to..?" was priceless.

My wife and I went to Santorini 2 years, it looks like the pictures in real life. Just amazing!

The rub is that I'll be traveling with a group of 7 people, who all want to do different things. I don't give a shit where we go, I just want to see something besides Athens while I'm there.

i was there this time last year.
santorini was beautiful, I'd love to go back. it's a peaceful place with great little cafes and shops.
mykonos was only so-so. it's not what everyone builds it up to be. Or at least ... I didn't see those parts of it. Plus, it's full of poofters, so watch your back.
Athens was pretty shite. It was dirty as fuck and busy as hell. The plaka is a good place to shop and eat, but then again ... I'm no expert. I had the greatest gyro I've ever had at this place and cheap too:

I spent a bit of time in Athens, it was really good, but very busy with queues of people milling around everything that looked remotely old!!
Spent a few days in the Poleponese which was the best bit. It was off season so there were no tourists, just beautiful landscape and really good food.

2 days off. I hope he realizes getting to any of the islands from greece is 9 plus hour fairy ride.
