I hate islands in the kitchen. In a previous home, the kitchen had two longish sides a few feet apart, so you had room to comfortably turn between them, but not enough room to slop a pan of water carrying it across.

The stove was on the short side, the other short side was the entrance. The sink was on a long side near the stove, the refrigerator was on the other long side at the entrance end, so there was counter room by the stove. I think the dishwasher was next to the sink on the side away from the stove.

Update: Looking galley kitchen up on the web, this seems to be one.
