If you’re planning a trip to Greece, deciding which island to visit is a significant decision. Greece’s islands are home to beaches and mountains, ancient ruins and modern cities, breathtaking scenery, and delectable cuisine. But when it comes down to it, there are four major groups of islands: the Cyclades Islands in the south; Crete in the center; Dodecanese Islands in the north; and the Ionian Islands off to the west. Each group offers something different so it’s worth considering what kind of experience you’re looking for before deciding on your destination. With their pristine beaches and friendly locals, whether you’re interested in visiting ancient ruins or simply lounging by the pool with a cocktail in hand, make sure to visit the following Islands.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Serifos<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Serifos is a Greek island that’s perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Located in the Cyclades, it’s not as crowded as other islands with tourists and can maintain its authentic culture better than others because of this. The water is clean and blue, so if you’re looking for a beach break – Serifos might be just what you need.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

It’s known for its natural beauty, with sandy beaches, unspoiled nature, and wildflowers everywhere. The island is connected to many other islands in the area, and you can go to LetsFerry\u2019s website to learn more<\/a> about available ferry routes and prices. The capital of Serifos is Chora which has narrow lanes where you can easily get lost exploring all the little shops and taverns that line them. Many restaurants are serving delicious food but locals say that it’s best to try one of the traditional dishes like fried meatballs or grilled octopus at one of the local tavernas around town before embarking on your culinary exploration.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Corfu<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Corfu is one of the islands you have to see the next time you stay in Greece. It’s a place where Venetian meets French and British in a cornucopia of pastel colors. Home to 22 villages, Corfu has gems that you have to see for yourself. The best villages in Corfu are Pelekas, Kassiopi, and Agios Stefanos Avliotes. The biggest attractions in Greece’s emerald island are the hundreds of olive trees found on the island, the town of Kerkyra, and Cape Drastis.\u00a0 You’re probably convinced already so the next concern is the hotels. Of over 1,200 hotels the most popular and most booked are Olive Grove Suites Boutique Hotel, Eleals Boutique Hotel, and the Divani Corfu Palace.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Rhodes<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Not finding Corfu quite to your liking? Why not travel back in time and visit the island of Rhodes. An island that, although was caught in the war, seemed to have stopped the hands of the clock and maintained its medieval look. On every island are towns and the best of Rhodes are Rhodes Town, Faliraki, Archangelos, Lindos, and Kremasti. The most fascinating scenery in Rhodes is the battlements, churches, and Roman ruins that you will find in its capital, Rhodes Island. Assuming you plan to sail for Rhodes you want to find a place to stay and the top places are Casa-cook an adult-only chic hotel, Marco Polo a mansion with an amazing garden and a great restaurant, and learn history from the Kokkini Puerto Rossa with its antiques.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Crete<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you haven’t had your fill of Rhodes’ medieval town then you have to visit the birthplace of the king of the gods. Crete is known as a place for the bold, daring, and adventurous. Like Rhodes and Corfu, Crete offers its towns and villages for you to see the most popular ones being: Heraklion, Rethymno, Malia, Chania, and Elounda. The Minoan Palace of Knossos is one of the main tourist destinations in Crete along with the ancient sceneries of Malia and Aptera. Stay in these hotels as you unravel Crete: Cretan Malia Park the island’s newest resort, Ammos hotel for those with children, and Blue Palace Resort and Spa.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Milos<\/strong><\/p>\n

Milos is an island seemingly painted by an artist and brought to life by the gods. This is the place where they uncovered the Venus de Milo, a testament to its beauty because only goddesses deserve to see its sceneries. A total of 13 villages can be found in Milos and the most known of them are Adamas, Triovasalos, Tripiti, Plakes, and Plaka. A magnificent coastline awaits you in Milos, it’s probably one of the best ones you will ever find. You can stay at Captain Zeppos which is run by a family, Skinopi Lodge with the fantastic view it has, and Milos Cove to laze around all day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Santorini<\/strong><\/p>\n

Santorini is one of the most famous islands of Greece located just southeast of the mainland. It’s known for its white cube-shaped buildings with blue accents and the incredible view that overlooks the sea. Santorini is home to 20 beautiful towns and villages which are full of elegant architecture, culture, and history. Fira town the capital of Santorini, the colorful Oia, Pyrgos another throwback, Imerovigli and its traditional architecture, and Akrotiri beside the Red Beach. In Santorini, you can go for a cruise at the Red Beach and marvel at the famed sunset of Oia. As one of the best islands in Greece of course you can expect that its hotels are on the same level such as Perivolas a place of style and comfort, The Vasilicos with its most welcoming staff and grand interiors, and finally the Istoria known for its huge rooms and great restaurants.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Indeed, there are a plethora of activities to choose from when on holiday in Greece. Perhaps you’d want to experiment with other cuisines while going by ferry. In addition, you may take a trip to the beach and incorporate some physical activity into your itinerary while you are there. In any case, it is recommended that you include these island options into your travel plans for an amazing Greek island experience.<\/p>\n
