With lush vegetation, some still undeveloped interior and unspoiled coast, ancient sites and a 19th-century presence, a dash of Italy and a dose of the cosmopolitan, Corfu is a Greek island like no other. Tourism may be rampant, but Corfu’s attractions have survived worse. Source:frommers.com
When royalty come to Kos, this is where they dine. Housed in an exquisitely restored, two-story, century-old stone (petrino) private residence, this is hands-down the most elegant taverna in Kos, with cuisine to match. This is what Greek home cooking would be if your mother were part divine. Source:frommers.com
You’d think that an island with such gorgeous beaches, exquisite medieval towns, and remarkable scenery wouldn’t remain a secret for long. Despite the qualities that attract a small group of devotees year after year, Hios remains surprisingly quiet. If you like the idea of getting away from the tour buses, being alone on a beach to rival any in the Cyclades, and exploring towns that preserve the contours of medieval life, Hios is for you. Another benefit: The local hospitality hasn’t worn thin here, as it has on many of the more heavily toured islands.Source:frommers.com
A bit severe in its setting at the edge of a small enclosed square in Corfu town, with no attempt at the picturesque, this restaurant gets by on its more esoteric, international, and delicate menu. It’s for those seeking a break from the standard Greek scene. Source:frommers.com
Sifnos is a green island of ravines, mountaintops, and pristine beaches. Despite its small size (a hardy walker can explore the entire island on foot), Sifnos has numerous attractive small towns which can be used as bases for your explorations. Apollonia, in the central hills, offers elegant small-town civility, with the added benefit of being the hub of an excellent public transportation system. The kastro (castle), on its seaside rock, is the medieval locus of the island, while Platis Yialos is a quiet beach resort.Don’t visit in August, when the island is mobbed with vacationing Athenians.Thinking about going abroad? You’re invited to trips to Argentina, the most European country in South America that will make you feel as if you were at home.Source:frommers.com
