I am trying to find some interesting places in Greece to visit. I see that Kythira is close to the Peloponnese, and I am intrigued and might want to visit. I am trying to figure out some things to do there so I can determine how long to stay. Here are some possibilities, but please chime in with suggestions:

* Visit some of the galleries on the island. I heard there are a lot of artists here?
* Go to the beach - I hear there are some gorgeous beaches.
* Would love to visit museums, archaeological sites, that kind of thing. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

There will be an underwater archaeological expedition for three weeks starting at the end of August. It will be my first time there, so I cannot recommend anything yet (https://theHAES.org/)

I have ancestry here but have never been. I have heard that it is a stunning island with lots of beaches, and a lot of artists have congregated here. Interesting enough, the branch of my family that come from there, they're all artists! There are, apparently, a lot of galleries on the island.
 

Visiting Church of Saint Demetrios in Santorini

One of my favorite places to visit in Thessaloniki is the Church of Saint Demetrios. I heard he is the patron saint of the city?

When I went, I only just walked through and enjoyed the look and feel. I don't know much about it.

Would love to hear your opinions of this place, I will be passing through Thessaloniki in a few months and am hoping to catch a church Service. Last time I went, I just visited, there was no service going on.

Nice Islands Only Accessible by Ferry

I have been interested in going a bit "off the beaten track" in Greece. I have been told that one of the things to look for are islands that don't have an airport. Off the top of your head, can you guys think of some good ones?

Some possibilities: Asypylaia, Halki, Ikaria... I feel like there could be more.

I want the island to be quiet, but still with things to do ... like beaches, maybe a museum or two, some shopping, restaurants..

Best Kythira Beaches

I am continuing my research of Kythira and I thought I would make a list of a few beaches to visit. I wonder if those of you who know the island can weigh in:
  • Kapsali Beach
  • Chalkos Beach
  • Kaladi Beach
  • Diakofti Beach
  • Platia Amos Beach
I like relaxing beaches with great scenery - they don't need to have nearby services necessarily, but I like it when they do.

Traveling from Santorini to Mykonos

I plan to go to Santorini this summer, but even tough I love it there, I suspect I will only want to spend a short time - just a few nights. I have some friends that actually live on Mykonos that I want to visit, so I am wondering the best way to go from Santorini to Mykonos? From what I understand, the ferry is pretty easy - is this true? I have only gone to Mykonos from the Athens airport and have never used the ferry to get on the island.
