[In early June, four Americans set out on their first-ever journey to Greece. Gabe Guarente and his girlfriend, Bonnie Barcellos, along with Gabe’s brother, John, and John’s wife, Neha. It was a long-overdue homecoming for the Guarente brothers, both in their thirties, who descend from the island of Nisyros on their mother’s side.
In chronological order, they visited three Dodecanese islands – Rhodes, Nisyros, and Kos – and then spent a few days in Athens before flying back home.
Asked to rank all four places, beginning with their favorite, and then proceeding in descending order, all four travelers were in sync: 1) Nisyros 2) Rhodes 3) Athens 4) Kos.
Gabe explained that there was a clear gap: Nisyros/Rhodes, then a significant drop, and then Athens/Kos. John elaborates further – his full review follows.]
