Bucket List - Greek Islands

This week's Bucket List contender is a sail around the Greek Islands.

I have been there a couple of times in the past - to Crete and also to the northern Sporades Group of islands which includea Skiathos - the green island.

The islands are a rich mixture of types, such as barren cliffs, flat sandy ones and some with trees and lots of wild flowers.  All have an atmosphere which is totally Greek and there is always a lot of food and drink available. I'll never forget my first taste of Retsina - not your average white wine flavor.

Also beware of the dreadful Raki and it's after effects.
