This is not an answer, but a queation, sorry but I just signed in this page..

I am from Portugal and plan to go to Greece next summer to participate in a research project, please what city should I choose?

I like beaches a lot and can perhaps go to Crete, heraclion, but I am afraid I will be a bit isolated there and I don´t have much money either so a cheap place would also be nice..

Is that too much to ask? :)

Appreciate your help..

Cheers
