Greek Islands

The iconic Greek Islands are a vast archipelago comprising over 6,000 islands and islets across the Aegean and Ionian Seas, of which approximately 225 are inhabited. Some of these are summer destinations while some are able to be enjoyed in the off-season too.

Its important to know that the islands are divided into several main groups:

The Cyclades, south of Athens and famous for Santorini and Mykonos with their iconic architecture

The Ionian Islands off the west coast of Greece, including Corfu and Kefalonia known for their lush landscapes

The Dodecanese, close to the Turkish coast, including Rhodes and Kos with rich historical landmarks

The North Aegean Islands, which are less frequented by tourists and include Lemnos and Chios

The Sporades, known for their beautiful beaches on the ‘Mama Mia’ islands of Skiathos and Skopelos and the marine park on Alonissos

and The Saronic Islands, which are nearest to Athens and include popular spots like Hydra and Aegina.
