I've had Greece on my mind for three years since I couldn't go there... Recommendation? Hardly, because I haven't seen anything but Thasos. I can say what I would like. An island with lots of vegetation, not an island without forests, just mountains or bare hills, even if it would have great beaches and waters. I'd like to go to Corfu. My son recommends Kefalonia. He has been to both islands, which are much further away from us. For Corfu, he drove 12 hours, from Bucharest and then an hour and a half by ferry. I think you can also go by plane.
Maybe someone would say I'm crazy if I say that we go to Thasos especially for this walk between Limenaria and Potos. There are, of course, many other things we like but this walk is what we think of first...
I'm glad you enjoyed reading about Thasos, in my version. I, too, was delighted to read your posts about Thasos. I'm glad that you love this place too, it makes me less afraid that I'm crazy or clueless because I'm so delighted with this island which, however, is not recognized as one of the most beautiful in Greece.
Corfu was on our list 3 years ago but because of Covid we had to cancel it. Kefalonia is also an option. We do same, 12-14 hra to corfu, lefkada or kefalonia.
We'll see....and my husband just asked me to make a research, see if we can decide on something.
Thasos is special for us too because we love the vegetation. An island without the green trees and vegetation in our opinion, is not that great. We love beaches, but we are not the type going to the beach and forget go home. We wont last more than a few hrs, max. We love to walk, explore nature, food places...
I understand the love for thr path you mentioned. Looks really beautiful, I can truly understand and imagine how nice it is to have a walk on the path.
And no, you're not crazy. Mu husband just said he is also in love with thassos. And for sure we'll go again someday.
I'm so glad, @missdeli, that you love Thasos for the same reasons I do.
You know, of course, that Thasos is a destination for hundreds of thousands of Romanians, and it can be said that many go out of a herd spirit, because it is fashionable and somewhat easy to get to. Fortunately, it's not the same for us.
I agree. It's true even for me, we went there first time 5 years ago. I was pregnant 3 months already.
And we wanted Thassos because it's relatively close to use. Also we just came back from Canada 3 weeks before so we thought Thassos would be pur best choice in these circumstances.
But we came back 4 years later and that means something. Also we're thinking we'll visit again someday so its really a place we love. A lot.
I'm glad it is. Probably in a few years, it will be easier to travel to Greece when the highways will be finished in our country and in Bulgaria..., maybe they will accept us in Schengen...
I really hope that but I soo sooo doubt it these will be ready! We are so far behind with everything!☹️
Once again you are right! I try to encourage my optimism.
