Been there twice.Its my favorite island and its soooo beautiful.When you look from high places its like christmas tree in summer night with all this multicolour lights.Greek food outside on the roofs of tradisional tavernas, romantic atmosphere, walks on the small paths and full of history.Santorini is in my heart...

Great question and a tough one given so many options. We only visited 6. Our fave was Folegandros, but it is quite small. All were beautiful. To answer your question, we would say Crete. It is large, beautiful and has many options (mountains, beaches, ruins, towns, etc to visit. Be sure to check out our Crete video if you haven’t seen it. Paros and Folegandros as well to give you perspective. Good luck and hope this helps. John and Bev
