So what would be a beautiful island in the south of Greece with a 3500ft+ runway and Jet-A1. A place where we could rent a nice house with a pool and close to the beach for decent money without Greece having to leave the Euro? Only been to the mainland.
A TB20 can go from Corfu to anywhere in Greece and back, without refuelling.
Whether you would want to is another matter. It’s nice to drop into say Samos LGSM or Sitia LGST; both are really nice places which have avgas. From either one one can fly back to Croatia so you don’t have to do Corfu twice.
Corfu is a very nice place to visit – a mixture of Italian (Venetian) and Greek. But finding decent food there is considerably harder than anywhere else in Greece (due to too much low-end tourism).

Crete?
LGST:
My recommendation is to fly to Crete, either to Heraklion (easy) or to Chania (a little more complicated). Rent a car and go to the Southern Coast. Or fly to Heraklion and rent a house in one of the smaller towns west of the city and make day trips to the south.
Ok regarding shorts. Didnt mean to offend but paying 125Euros for handling and then other fees plus 3.25/L Euros for Avgas and you can see how I come up with shorts on fire. Lucky for me I was directed by one of the other handlers (ON THE QT) that Sissport accepts AOPA cards and handling is reduced to 25Euros at Corfu.

Crete has many choices but its not the small picturesque island with properties close to the beach. You have a base and then drive to nice places.

and then Google is your friend by just googling what you want.
I think Eastern Crete especially has lots of options but it all depends on how laid back you want it.
Dublinpilot and I drove around there last September and it looked pretty good.
The most scenic Greek island is Kithira LGKC (no customs or fuel or any type).
Kithira LGKC is THE place to enjoy Greece.
Truly magnificent island without the tourism rush.

LOVE these INSIDER tips ! Thanks petakas !
I’ve been wanting to fly to Albania for a while, and if I travel that far it would be a pity not to carry on south of the border…
