My favorite of all Greece I visited. I would say stay away from the big cities like Chania and Irakleon and get out into the country. My favorites were Sivas/Matala and Falasarna just west of Kissamos. Watch the sunset at Falasarna from a little taverna on the road back into town. Its called Spilios or something similar meaning cave. The owner was the friendliest guy from the whole trip. We got to try his father’s homemade equivalent of Sherry. The family makes their own wine and Raki. A must visit!

This was probably the most breathtaking island although not my favorite by a long shot. After spending two weeks in Rhodes and Crete, Santorini was a shot back into reality with too many American 20-somethings getting drunk and being all around obnoxious on their scooters and 4 wheelers. The good thing was the morning was nice and quiet b/c everyone was still drunk from the night before.

There is a lot of cool history in Rhodes. Many people have claimed it for themselves over the years. Just like any other touristy place, make sure you get outside the port/old city area to see the rest of the island
