Nice lens, 5 *****.
The first greek island I visited was Corfu back in 1978. It was already getting to be a place for the party crowd to visit, but the resort I stayed at was at least quiet and out of the way. I loved the food, scenery etc, but I imagine now it's spoiled like so many other places.
Rhodos has some interesting places to visit, like the main town and port, and the town of Lindos, and the valley of the butterflies, but I don't remember a lot else of interest.
I would love to visit some of the other small islands, and of course to see the spectacular ruins of mainland Greece.
