Default Greek Islands

Every island has the unspoilt, untourisy, rural places. You just have to find them. Our favourites are Crete, Rhodes, Kefallonia. The west is less tourisy than the East on Crete, however, we have had a couple of super holidays on the edge of Agious Nikolaous. We always self-cater and eat out at traditional tavernas away from harbours and the tourists. We eat where the Greeks go. We're soon off to Kalives on the west side - more of a small Greek town than tourist hot spot.

My fave is Alikes on Zante. Typically greek, only small. Beach is lovely and the sea is shallow for ages - so is very safe. Great for families or couples and superb for single parents as its very friendly.

Sharon T - you are so right! We visited Corfu this year and stayed in the most stunning, quiet and totally unspoilt location - I was delighted, I wasn't sure it was possible on that island. We ate at amazing local tavernas and only ventured very occasionally into Wally World (Paleo) to keep the kids happy. Greece is so hard to beat, I love it

Was it like the fabulous (and at times knee knocking) Wally World in Dubai?!

I am looking to take my family to Greece this summer and want to visit a small, unspoiled Greek island. I've been looking at Sifnos and Alonissos. Any reviews on these 2 islands? Any other suggestions?
