Seriously, if you haven't visitied Greece, you dont know what you're missing.
Food is great, people were very friendly, and the sights never disappoint!
There is so much history there!

My next stop in Greece is Paros/Santorini/Mykonos!

I'm not affilitated with either of these agencies (but have used them with good results). They seem to always have consistenly good Greece Packages:

I enjoyed a trip to Greece in 2000 and hope to return again with my wife some day. We had a wonderful time. The food was good, the people friendly and hospitable, although they were disappointed that we weren't from New York or Los Angeles(lol), and the sites were awe-inspiring.

On our next trip we would prefer to simply enjoy two or three weeks on a Greek island. Are there any other islands you would recommend other than Samos? We would like to choose from several possibilities. What are hotel prices like on Samos and would you recommend visiting outside the high season?

Enjoyed the photographs and thanks in advance for your response.

Funny, because I think this is Samos from the Turkish side. Pictures I've taken last year from Kucadasi area.

Btw. I've been to Crete in may, looks very similar.

Samos is a beautiful island but its a perfect choice for families and couples because it has not many clubs and nicht life.
If someone looking for a crowdy island with a rich night life i would recomend
Myconos
Kos
Santorini
Kerkira (Corfu)
and Crete

Very beautiful islands but more quiet are
Lesvos
Skopelos
Skiathos
Chios
Thasos
Levkada
Kefalonia
Zakinthos

A fantastic island that i would recomend is Rhodes. It has everything!

Ofcourse these are some of the islands that i ve been there and i know, but there are many others also beautiful
Ofcourse Greece has many beautiful places in the mainland also
One of them is Chalkidiki *****ula near Thessaloniki
Here is a map of Greece

Thanks for all the advise. It will be an enjoyable time planning for the trip, but difficult choosing an island. We plan to return in two years. We have one son we need to get through the remainder of college, while his brother will have finished his Marine Corps enlistment, so no more deployment concerns. Since my wife and I are a bit older, I think we would enjoy something relatively quiet. We enjoy dining experience and small, friendly bars.

The best calamari I've ever eaten was at a small outdoor restaurant in Kucadasi.

I was just kidding that folks were disappointed when they found out I wasn't from New York or Los Angeles. When they realized I was from the states I was always first asked if I was from one of those two cities. On the contrary, the Greek people were extraordinarily kind and friendly, which is one reason why we want to return.
