The place you describe in your original post sounds just like the island of Milos - where the Venus de Milo was discovered.

Unfortunately, I haven't been back since 1985, so can't say whether it's still like that.

We arrived during siesta and once we'd been offered a room near the ferry terminal, we went into the centre of the town and it was totally dead.  Just when we were getting a bit worried, the whole place woke up and it was delightful.

We were eating outside at night at a tiny taverna and the lights went out in our town.  The view of the stars was amazing and seeing the lights still on across the bay was magical.

I'd guess it's 2 - 3 hours from Piraeus (the nearest port to Athens).

All the beaches we visited were sandy and deserted but a fair way from where we were staying.  It was the first place I'd ever hitchhiked and the locals could not have been friendlier.
