Sorry, I was a bit tired yesterday and didn't notice your 14 days in the
subject-line.

I went to Chios, fell in love with the island and never got to see another
island in Greece(been to Halkidiki though), so I am not the right person to
ask ;-)
Unless you consider going to Chios, which is a somewhat different to
"postcard Greece" with it's very low number of tourists(except for Greeks in
the high season July/August),it's Genoveese mansions, houses in
Thymiana-stone, varied nature from plains to mountains and cliffs, no
party-party unless you look up the places where the locals party, secluded
beaches as well as beaches with umbrellas and sunbeds, plenty of sights,
great food, friendly and helpful locals, busy main town with plenty of
shopping and a "bar-strip" at the harbour... :-D
As for Milos that Gurt tells you about, I have seen a video from the trip
made by Greek friends and the colours seems fantastic! She really
recommended a visit there.
Your friends suggestion sounds ok to me. Santorini sounds like it's worth a
visit, and alot of people say a few days, and then travel on and I have only
heard nice about the other islands you are looking at. Busy islands in the
tourist season(maybe apart from Folegandros?) but nice.
