Picking a Greek island getaway is a daunting task – after all, there are dozens and dozens of options from the country’s 227-strong list of inhabited islands.
Luckily for you, a German couple is working their way through them – and they’ve shared their favourite spots with us.
Marina (30) and Alexander (31) Kaulartz have so far visited 15 islands – and post videos and pictures of them on Instagram at @kykladengriechenland. Here they reveal their favourite four.

Finding anything funny about a transperineal prostate biopsy is not easy — where, under local anaesthetic, a series of needles are punched through the skin and muscle between the rectum and the base of the penis to reach the walnut-sized prostate gland below the bladder.
But the writer, comedian and broadcaster Jon Holmes is absolutely certain humour is the way to get through experiences such as this and get more men talking about cancer.

After surgery and radiotherapy for breast cancer, Marie Jones was prescribed a daily pill to reduce the chances of the disease returning. But just three weeks into the planned five-year course of treatment, she ditched the tablets.
‘I know some people might think I’m mad for not doing everything possible to reduce my risk,’ says Marie, 54, a PR consultant, who lives in Belfast, Northern Ireland, with husband Paddy, 56, a decorator, and has three grown-up children.

With its hairless silicone skin and blue complexion, Emo the robot looks more like a mechanical re-creation of the Blue Man Group than a regular human. Until it smiles.
In a study published March 27 in Science Robotics, researchers detail how they trained Emo to smile in sync with humans. Emo can predict a human smile 839 milliseconds before it happens and smile back.

As a nation, we’re pessimists – poles apart from our friends across the pond who are born optimistic. For better or for worse, we like our doom and gloom.

Attendance Allowance is an important benefit for elderly people who need help caring for themselves.
It’s worth either £68.10 or £101.75 a week, and you don’t need to be hard-up to qualify.

If you’ve ever flicked through a charity shop’s bargain box of records, it might be hard to imagine that old vinyl could be worth serious cash.
