Yes Zante is lovely- my favorite though is Hydra-30 mins by hydrofoil from Piraeus. Very tiny with an Art school, Marina and no cars!!!
When I went to Hydra by ferry it was like a furnace...much preferred Aegina, Poros and Spetse myself.

My family are actually Greek, my Grandfather was born on Mykonos, the family home was called Mykonos as was their boat. Never been myself, I did like Zante though and of course Lindos

Kefalonia is beautiful isn't it?

Yes, very much, but I wouldn't like the climb back up the cliff road. I suppose they use taxis or golf carts.

The Greek islands are my favourite holiday destination. I'm hoping to retire there for Autumn-Winter-Spring and do summer in Auld Reekie. I owned and ran a fine dining restaurant (modern cuisine / Mediterranean) and a bar with stage in Melbourne and would like to do something similar.

Already learning the Greek bouzouki (tetrachorda) - Never on a Sunday, (zorba - too difficult without backing) and Sinefiasmeni Kyriaki (Cloudy Sunday) by Vasilis Tsitisanis.

I got a bus, did an organised tour of the island. I don't think golf carts would get very far on those windy roads.
