If YOU want to go the Greek Islands...

1. Go with someone else - it's relatively expensive and it would definitely help to be able to share accomodation.
2. Rent a car - much easier to get to off-the-beaten places with a car rather than trying to use the bus, plus you can see a lot more in a little bit of time. In addition to the cost, I'm a little scared to drive with the locals, especially without anyone to help navigate! They drive on the same side we do, so at least that would be easy.
3. Give yourself a lot of time to explore and get from one island to another. It's not high season yet, and you can't just get on any boat any time to get to the next place you want to go. The ferry system is complicated.
4. Get a cabin on an overnight ferry, if you can afford it, because otherwise you are in for a sleepless night.
