Anyone been to Greece?

[wobbegong]

Try the Peloponnese. Mrs OG and I went there several years ago. Great empty beaches and plenty of ancient sites to see (e.g. Olympia). Not sure where the weather is best this time of year though.

"Oh I've been to Nice
And the Isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved liked Harlow in Monte Carlo
And showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings
And I've seen some things
That a women ain't spose to see
I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me"

HTH

FTFY (always annoyed me, that line)

Oh, and where the f**k is the "Isle of Greece"?

I did a fantastic backpacking trip a few years ago across Sicily. I backpacked my way round. Would definitely recommend it if you like great country side, great buildings, great food and great looking women. Nobody speaks English though so you have to learn basic Italian to get by. You can get a train right round the coast. That's what I did - got on and off in various places. One of the best trips i've done.

Typical aussie everyone knows that Sicily is part of New Zealand

The authentic Italian side of Greece really is lovely.

I'd give it a miss for a while ........

Never been but contract finishes next week and l was planning to fly out somewhere for a week on my own.

Where would be a good place/backpack trip to
take?

Hi - my family and I went to Corfu at near the end of kids school holidays. I'd been a few times before when I was far younger (16-17 yrs old) and I know things change .....

All I can say is Greece is on it's a..rse/skidrow. Place we stayed was nice, but outside the development - half the places were closed down/boarded up.

We went a few places around the Island - and that appeared to be the norm.

Sorry - might be not what you wanted to hear. If I were you - spend your money here. as Greece is going down the pan.

Saying that it could be an experience of a lifetime - sunning yourself while the Country tears itself apart.
