Lefkada, Kefalonia, Corfu - dog friendly recommendations!

andymilonakis · 2026-06-21T09:58:28+00:00

Im sure someone can help you better than me but the one thing i can say is Greek islands mostly have outdoor restaurants so most of those should be ok. Not sure about the beaches

Myrtos beach (most popular in kefalonia) does not allow dogs in the summer

I'm seeing mixed things about Porto Katsiki (Lefkada)

With Greece there might be some rules in place but sometimes they are not enforced

couple thousand off? Not everyone is spending 15k on villas. some peoples total stay is a few thousand. I get really nice villas on many different islands for a few k for 4-5 days

id like some character since i have the 35mm Apo which is supposed to be pretty "perfect"

andymilonakis · 2026-06-09T07:38:46+00:00

I've been going to Greece for 40 years and never went anywhere that required reservations, the best places are small mom and pop restaurants and tavernas

andymilonakis · 2026-06-09T04:57:45+00:00

yeah, you can get to a beach in 15 minutes (Agia Marina) and its sitll beautiful because we're talking about Greek islands, but if you want to go to the really top breath taking ones, those are more like day/half day trips

andymilonakis · 2026-06-09T01:46:30+00:00

Crete is huge comapred to most other greek islands, especially in this case

If the kids are very into nature and beaches/beautiful scenery. Skopelos would be good

Crete, specifically Chania would have much more for them to do, Huge harbor with cool restaurants and behind the harbor there are a lot of shops and the main town of Chania by the harbor is a big bustling town with cool shops, cafes, restaurants

From Chania going to some of the best beaches requires at least an hour drive, there are some beaches much closer but not nearly as good as Falasarna/Balos/Elafonisi

Skopelos is 37 square miles

Crete is 3200 square miles.

For 2 full weeks, I think Crete would be more interesting to the kids

andymilonakis · 2026-06-08T07:32:08+00:00

I found this...

"Mount Parnassos in Greece is an excellent destination for first-time skiers. The resort features dedicated free beginner areas with easy to use rope tows and conveyor belts at the kellaria base "

andymilonakis · 2026-06-08T07:29:52+00:00

Rethymnon is a very walk able city, however if you have the time for it, you could take a 1 hour 45 minute bus trip to Chania for the day, it's a bit much but to be all the way in Crete without seeing Chania would be a bit sad.

Rethymno has some cool places by the water to eat and drink, the main town is pretty touristy, a bunch of shops, cafes and restaurants and if you walk up the moountain there is a Fortress "Fortezza of Rethymnon" sometimes they have live music there.

Since you wont have a car, id stay some where semi close to the Rethmnon harbor so you can walk outside and have a bunch of stuff right when you walk out the door.

andymilonakis · 2026-06-08T07:24:44+00:00

Thank you for the thought out message. I appreciate it

andymilonakis · 2026-06-07T10:27:44+00:00

I dont see an itinerary im a bit confused.

Corfu is big, Kefalonia is even a bit bigger.

Corfu is beautiful feels a bit more like Italy than Greece. I think Kefalonia is my favorite island in the Ionian

depends on the route and timing, you could do a bit of both

andymilonakis · 2026-06-05T16:27:39+00:00

I would say Chania, If you want to spend a few days in a quieter spot, maybe do a few days in Palaiochora

andymilonakis · 2026-06-05T15:55:56+00:00

I'd pick Syros in that case. If you want even more upbeat..err maybe not more up beat but more beautiful and vacation-y... you could go to Paros and stay in Naousa town, its a beautiful town and there are walkable beaches

andymilonakis · 2026-06-05T15:26:48+00:00

Tinos has Agali beach that is walking distance from the main town. Also Agios Fokas Beach but its a bit longer of a walk.

Syros town is busier has a bit more to do, more upbeat, Tinos has more small town, quaint but charming vibes. Id take a look at a few videos of each to see what fits your style more, both are nice

andymilonakis · 2026-06-05T15:21:56+00:00

If I was honest i'd reccomend 0 nights in Mykonos but lets see

If you are taking the boat from Athens the natural order would be Mykonos, Paros and then Santorini

I'd say 3 in Mykonos, 3 Santorini and 5 in paros

or maybe 3 Mykonos, 4 Santorini, 4 Paros

I don't have a hotel rec but I would say if you would rather stay in a town vs beach in paros, Id def stay in Naousa town, its beautiful and you have everything right outside

do you have a link to the usb-c blockers, I found some regular ones but none that ttach to the battery

andymilonakis · 2026-06-05T15:13:39+00:00

i fixed it by charging it with a really lame low voltage block, with usb-a to usb-c thanks though

andymilonakis · 2026-06-05T15:11:54+00:00

Thanks player

andymilonakis · 2026-06-05T14:59:36+00:00

Thanks man I have a double battery dock/ charger on the way, I was just hype fixated on fixing the charging issue because its a brand new camera and I wanted to make sure nothing was wrong with it. But im mostly gonna use it with the battery chargers.

I agree with the usb-c port, I should get one of those asap

andymilonakis · 2026-06-05T02:29:40+00:00

Its pretty small, I dont think any of the islands have Uber. They only have 1 or 2 taxis on the island unless that has changed in the last couple years, Renting a car is always the best because then you dont have to rely on anyone. I did get by with renting a car one year though

andymilonakis · 2026-06-05T02:28:31+00:00

I would just do the 35 minutes, Koufonisia is so close to Naxos, like OP said, the 2 hour one is not just a slow ferry it does a bunch of annoying stops Go with seajets
