Like most Greek islands, Chios really comes to life in summer, but unlike many of its neighbours, most of its summer visitors are Greeks from Athens and the mainland.
Of all Europe's capitals, Athens is probably the one that has changed the most and become a modern metropolis, it still retains a good deal of its old small town feel.
Chania must be the loveliest port town in Greece. Swallows soar in sheer blue skies above the semicircle of tall Venetian houses around its picture-perfect Old Harbour.
Kos is one of the most popular islands in the Dodecanese. The island has a well-establish tourist industry which benefits the visitors to the island as it is very organized.
Rhodes, the pearl of Mediterranean as they use to call it, is a cosmopolitan island, combining unique natural beauty, archaeological wealth, great beaches and intensive nightlife.
