Don't get me wrong, I've nothing against the TT and fairly obviously many many people go each year and love it but somehow its never worked its magic on me - or not enough for me to want to run the gauntlet of ferries, BnBs etc that friends who went (many) years ago complained endlessly about afterwards. I suppose I just picked up on the problems but I've never been that big on racing so there wasn't enough on the up side to compensate.
I suspect had it been somewhere that didn't involve the supply and demand ferry palaver I probably would have gone and may now be expounding its virtues but that wouldn't be the TT. C'est la vie. It's all just my opinion and without the experience of having gone, worth nothing.
The Greece thing came from one of the few times I did consider going but fell at the first hurdle when all the ferries were booked up (it was a long time ago). The money I was expecting to spend just about covered my share of a bike trip to Greece. Ok it was a very rudimentary trip - rough camping and lose a stone in weight - but the costs were not far apart.
