Crete - beautiful. We stayed in the "German" part in the North (Georgiopolis) and it has the best beaches. Loved Zakynthos and the baby turtles on the beach at Kalamaki.
You should try Malta - they drive on the left, use 3-point plugs and everybody speaks English. I go twice a year and it feels like going home, but warmer.
I think we've gone a bit "off thread".
Sorry!
