This is definitely the right newsgroup for your inquiry, though you should also
try alt.travel.greece because it is devoted solely to Greek travel. It doesn't
get much traffic though.
The Greek Islands are fantastic and I think you'll enjoy them. Here are some
other resources I highly recommend for researching your trip:
http://www.greecetravel.com/
http://www.magicaljourneys.com/
http://www.islandstrolling.com/info/..._to_greece.htm
http://www.virtualtourist.com/vt/
That last one has become my favorite because it consists of travel tips and
photos submitted by people who have visited various places themselves and also
has hundreds of forums for specific locations. It's a great resource for
getting firsthand information about pretty much anything. You can take a look
at my own Greece travel pages here:

Feel free to email me with any questions you may have. I'm in the process of
planning my own trip to Greece next year as well.
