Greek music
Mode Plagal - Our favourite Greek band - There is a lot more to Greek music than what you hear in the average taverna!
Χαΐνηδες (Chainides or Hainides) - Great Cretan band - I particularly like their collaborations with Mode Plagal
Makis Ablianitis - Fantastic guitarist - his cd 'Bahar' is one of our all time favourites.
Takis Barberis - Great Greek Jazz/fusion guitarist.
La Ponta - Santorini - Exhibition and workshop of Greek bagpipes along with traditional Greek percussion instruments and flutes. Daily demonstrations by Yannis.
Alkinoos Ioannidis - Wonderful Greek/Cypriot singer songwriter. A huge star in Greece.
Sokratis Malamas - Another great Greek singer songwriter.

Accommodation in Greece - Just a few places we have stayed and would personally recommend
Asterias Apartments - Leros - One of the best places we have stayed in Greece. Fantastic accommodation and views, convenient location, and Kitty and Al are perfect hosts.
Brothers Hotel - Ios - Highly recommended place to stay on the island of Ios
Sideratos Apartments - Chios - Lovely accommodation in Karfas, on the island of Chios. Just a few steps down to the beach and a good location for exploring this fascinating island
Medusa Rooms and Apartments - Serifos - Excellent acommodation in Livadakia, on the island of Serifos
Emporios Bay Hotel - Chios - Nice relaxed apartment hotel with pool in Emporios, on the fascinating island of Chios
Erofili Beach Hotel - Ikaria - Recommended hotel with pool in Armenistis, on the island of Ikaria
Triton Hotel - Piraeus - Piraeus is not the most picturesque place to stay but this is an ideal location for island hopping, just a few minutes walk from all the ferries and only a short ride on the metro to the centre of Athens.
Villa Naxia Studios and Apartments - Naxos - Great place to stay on Naxos. Very convenient location and excellent breakfasts.
Diplos Studios - Paros - We'll definitely go back and stay here when we return to Paros!
Dandelion Villas - Paxos - A choice of several excellent reasonably priced villas and cottages on the beautiful island of Paxos. We stayed in the delightful Agathi Cottage, a stone's throw from Marmari Beach.
Hotel Avra - Rafina - Only half an hour's drive from Athens airport and they provide a free shuttle bus! We always stop overnight here when we are flying out to one of the islands or getting the ferry from Rafina to Andros, Tinos or Mykonos.
Nereids Apartments - Sitia, Crete - Beautifully designed apartments set in beautiful gardens just over the road from the beach. A 15 minute walk into Sitia town. Highly recommended.
