Which Greek islands to visit this summer Vol.1

All of them? Joking aside, that’s a bit of an impossible question to answer.

With 6000 islands to choose from – only 227 of which are inhabited – there’s enough secluded beaches, ancient history, simply epic food, dramatic nature, charming towns (and people) to fill a lifetime of travels.

That’s why we’ve chosen some champions to represent the many Greek island holiday possibilities – from adventure hiking to wine and dining – and to give you a sense of the wonder they have to offer.

Top things to do:

  • Take a boat to tucked away Lalaria Beach
