You wouldn't happen to be one of those mad motorcyclists that came over from the mainland to Skiathos while I was there?
There I was, enjoying about the prettiest Greek Island that there is when, all of a sudden, the ferry docked and two hundred motorbikes suddenly roared out.
Frightening.
I don't have a motorbike
. And I will disagree with you here, the best island is Crete
.
Crete has a wonderful mountain range, and amazing ancient ruins. I didn't see TOO much of the mountains, as a Cretian taxi driver was taking us at breakneck speed to the airport, as our scheduled coach had not arrived. I covered my eyes for most of the journey, as he was travelling at 90km/hour, playing loud bazouki music, whilst using one hand to hold his mobile phone and the other to hold his cigarette.
We walked the gorge (can't remember the name) when there, which involved wading through an ice cold river.
Marvellous place.....

. Now in the bouzouki nightclubs they sell flowers without stalk which you drop to the singer or the ones dancing.
