Greek islands

[londoner72]

Looking for a really luxurious holiday in Greece, which isn't Mykonos or Santorini.
I'm looking for a really beautiful quaint Greek islands with a beautiful boutique hotel, where there are a few up market restaurants/beach bars ( a bit like Santorini or Mykonos)
Please let me know your suggestions!

Paros, specifically Naousa, would fit the bill. Or Antiparos.

Skiathos fits the bill but it's one of the more expensive islands. I went there on my honeymoon.

I second skiathos. We loved it! You go go on a boat trip to skopolos.

Ios, Callie but I don’t believe there are many external restaurants nearby.

Skiathos (try Elivi hotel) or Folegandros (quite a few boutique hotels but harder to get to)

Hydra. Four Seasons resort.

I have a lot of Greek friends and they usually go to Naxos for their summer holidays.

I've been to Crete and stayed in Chania - they have pink sand beaches there. It's stunning! That's my vote.

Another vote for Skiathos.

Yes Hydra

Another vote for Hydra. Short ferry ride from Athens.

Another vote for Skiathos and Skopelos.
Skopelos town is stunning.

Which airlines fly to Skiathos from London?

We flew jet2 from Stansted

Tui and Easyjet from Gatwick

Skiathos is gorgeous with good choice of flights. It's a small but very green and lush island so no long transfers. It also has a surprisingly good bus service so you don't really need a car. I'd stay near Skiathos town. It's really pretty and has a great choice of bars and restaurants. Lots of yachties so it's got an upmarket vibe.

I stayed in Skiathos last June and loved it. Not sure I’d call it luxurious though.

We went to Skopelos last year and stayed here adrinabeach.com - it was such an amazing hotel and we loved the island - absolutely beautiful. Skopelos Town was really nice with lots of bars and restaurants. It's apparently the greenest of the Greek islands and it really was stunning.

Whoever mentioned Folegandros… shhhh!!!
