Cheeky week away in July - I'd quite like to see a bit of Greece before the Russians take it over.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

An island. One with some history, perhaps. No Brits, common sort of Germans or raves.

Suggestions please.

[PSRB]

you can find quiet, less touristy spots

Italy of course.

But in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere in between the mountains. :cloud9:

no tourists there apart from myself.

spectacular views of Albania in September last year.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Now I think of it, the food in Greece will be ****.

Firenze, perhaps. Or Pistoia. I love Pistoia.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Will it be full of the vulgar masses?

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Less busy than any of the other islands I have visited. Certainly the most scenic and least touristy.

Tbh it is the Greek islands so if you want unspoiled and devoid of tourist masses you are probably in the wrong country though there is luxury to be found if you are willing to pay.

[Rich]

you get out into those mountains and do some walking? Be sure to take plenty of water, of course.

[Classic Jorge]

Mind you, you can fail with the food, the service and the people you are sharing an island with. Just avoid all of the places I've been and you'll be fine.

[Pat Vegas]

Similar as in I bet when you walk down the street you see those very European lit up green crosses outside of Pharmacies. Which also tell you what the temperature is.

[Pat Vegas]

last 2 were New York/Washington. and Hawaii/LA,

I do wish to visit San Francisco though.

[Classic Jorge]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I haven't been to Greece since I was a teenager. I was vaguely wondering whether I'd been missing anything.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Just try and avoid going when I went as it was wall to wall Italians.

[Pat Vegas]

it on the counter rather than give it to the person. And the change goes on that little tray.

[Classic Jorge]

Crucially though, they've quite literally been resting on their laurels for 3000 years now.

[Classic Jorge]

For the committed gambler who cannot break away from a game for a ****.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

They don't want to touch your dirty English skin, that's the issue.

[Rich]

done.

Fly to Milan and take the train, then a speedboat :cloud9:
