English term or phrase: Can you recommend a good Greek island for my holiday?

I speak no Greek whatsoever but want to send a message to a Greek friend.

Can you please provide answers using standard transliteration into the Roman alphabet (the message will be sent by SMS and I do not have the Greek alphabet on my phone!)

Thanks.

Greek translation:mporeis na mou proteineis ena oraio elliniko nisi gia diakopes?

Explanation:
Μπορείς να μου προτείνεις ένα ωραίο ελληνικό νησί για διακοπές;

Since we are asking a friend it has to be "μπορείς".

yes, that's right! If he/she is a good friend of yours then you have to use "mporeis" and "proteineis".
