Hello, I would very much appreciate some advice please.
Never been to Greece before but after two years of serious illness and quite intense stress, I would like to try and go in April/ May (if we can find a good late booking) or this summer (Covid and global events allowing). I know I have left it late to plan something. And I'm aware of its proximity to Bulgaria. There's DH and me and two young adult DC who will be joining us for part of the time.
My first question is: would Ukrainian situation make you hesitate from travelling there? (And yes, fwiw, I do feel guilty thinking about, and booking something, as frivolous as a holiday when other people in the world are fighting for their lives.)
Second q and the main reason I have posted: can you please recommend a lovely location for someone unfamiliar with Greece where the local beaches and countryside are beautiful and not too touristy but nevertheless there is a town nearby with reasonable facilities, where the food is good, and there is a bit of culture maybe? Not interested in night life really! Good restaurants would be excellent though!
Most important of all, for various reasons related to health, we would like self catering accommodation but where you also have access to a good hotel and restaurant. We are not looking for budget accommodation as we like to be comfortable but not hugely fancy either.
I would really appreciate some personal recommendations!
Thank you.
