Probably the greenest of all green islands

by Zirpsis - last update: Mar 1, 2008

The green island
A mixture of green pastures with cow herds, pure nature with volcanic lakes, steaming calderas, thermal water springs, and many pictoresque towns and villages, this is an ideal place for anyone who loves the outdoor life and hiking. You can play golf, go horse riding or deep sea fishing, and more.

The climate is mild all year round so it doesn't really matter very much which time of year you plan your visit. You'll need a raincoat anyway.

I stayed for one week and, to be honest, it was enough time for me to see the island and to gather plenty of happy memories.
