I have a week off at the end of July and aim to go to a small Greek Island, haven't decided which one yet but preferably one with no airport as yobs don't bother going to those. I hope that Sparky will be able to come with me but if not, I will go anyway....
I can recommend Symi. You have to get a plane to Rhodes then catch the ferry across to Symi. It's absolutely stunning. If you do decide to go try and schedule it so that you get the evening ferry across. The sight of the harbour with all the lights on at that time of day is really beautiful.

I've just returned from two weeks in Skiathos and that's also very nice - 3rd time we've been. It's the smallest of the islands that has an airport so it's not too over run. Some fantastic beaches and the main town is very stylish. Although I would recommend that you visit sooner rather than later as they've just allowed a McDonald's to be built which is possibly a sign of things to come.
