A history that is spoken through sun-bleached ruins, regional cuisine that melts in your mouth and scenery that belongs under the definition of paradise: the Greek islands will ignite your wanderlust.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Greek islands are often grouped into one entity, however, it is only once you begin to learn about these islands in-depth that you understand their diversity from one another. Greece is home to over 200 inhabited islands and over 6,000 isles all together. The islands are divided into six main groups with the addition of the island of Crete, which is significant enough to stand alone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Travelling between the islands is easier if you stick to one group of islands, such as Mykonos and Santorini which belong to the Cyclades archipelago. If you were looking to cover more distance, such as Santorini to Corfu, you would need to travel back to Athens in between in order to make this journey.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve put together a guide for the top five Greek islands, including when to go and the top things to do there!<\/span><\/p>\n

1. The Instantly Recognisable Island of Santorini<\/b><\/h2>\n

Step foot on the island of Santorini and you\u2019ll be treated to multi-coloured soaring cliffs, an azure-blue sea-drowned caldera and charming whitewashed towns which have become an iconic symbol of Greece around the world. Santorini has honed its reputation for dazzling panoramas, volcanic sand beaches and some of the best sunsets in the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Part of a group of 220 islands known as the Cyclades which also encompasses Naxos and Mykonos, Santorini is unique in that the island itself is an active volcano (although it lies dormant). Having not erupted for over 3,000 years, it poses little threat. When it did erupt all those years ago it created the dramatic landscape of the caldera and stunning cliffs that you witness when you arrive on the croissant-shaped island of Santorini.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of its trademark characteristics is its caldera-edge, cliff-top towns in the west of the island which are known for their sparkling white-washed walls, blue domes and dizzying heights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Best Things to Do in Santorini<\/b><\/h2>\n

On an island as beautiful as this, hiking will deliver some spectacular experiences. Combine that with wine tasting, island hopping and a good dose of history and you have a travel destination which pleases everyone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hike the Caldera Trail from Fira to Oia<\/strong><\/h2>\n

What better way to spend a sunny afternoon in Santorini than a pleasant hike?<\/span><\/p>\n

The hike is around 10.5 kilometres and a relatively easy climb in both directions.<\/span> The path is made up of cobblestones and dirt paths but fairly easy to follow. The Caldera Trail leads you through towns and along the edge of the Caldera and showcases some of the most incredible views of the island.<\/span><\/p>\n

Depending on your pace the hike takes around 3.5 hours at a relaxed pace so is perfect for every member of the party. Travel from Athens to Santorini on this <\/span>8-Day Athens and Santorini Experience<\/span><\/a> and discover the island on this hike!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"santorini

Soak in the Santorini Hot Springs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At the centre of Santorini\u2019s sea-drowned caldera is the island of Nea Kameni, also known as the Santorini Volcano. Formed around 1570 after a series of small eruptions, the island stands 127 metres at its tallest point.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The island is known for its warm dark waters which are said to have therapeutic benefits and also for the Santorini hot springs. The hot spring\u2019s waters are known to contain minerals such as iron and manganese which have healing powers for many diseases within the older generation.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can walk up to the top of this volcano then soothe your bones in the hot springs. This is a popular stop on the Santorini volcano tour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Best Time to Go to Santorini<\/b><\/h2>\n

Each month brings something different to the island so figuring out when is the best time to visit Santorini depends entirely on your preferences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The best time to visit Santorini would be during the shoulder seasons – last week of April to early June or end of September to the second week of October. This time will guarantee pleasant weather and full access to the island without the crowds that July and August bring.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. The Island for Everyone: Mykonos<\/b><\/h2>\n

As an island that is well-versed in welcoming travellers, you\u2019ll find a little something for everyone between the cobbled streets and old windmills; white-sand beaches lining the coastline, rugged hiking opportunities and high-class accommodation.<\/span><\/p>\n

As one of the most famous of the Cyclades islands, Mykonos is incredibly accessible, with regular flights from Athens every day. You could also reach Mykonos from nearby Santorini in just a few hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each resort town is filled with restaurants and bars that perfectly match the atmosphere and clientele; some are focus entirely on families and elderly couples, while others are strictly for those who love to party meaning you get to do your holiday, your way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"mykonos

The Best Things to Do in Mykonos<\/b><\/h2>\n

Whether you are travelling alone, as a couple, a family or newlyweds, Mykonos will have the destination for you, plus a boatload of activities to keep your party entertained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Find Your Perfect Beach<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In Mykonos, there is a beach for everyone. Elias Beach is reputedly the most beautiful on the island, whereas Mykonos\u2019 Paradise and Super Paradise beaches are among some of the most popular on the island and are well known for being big party locations in the summer months.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"mykonos

Should you be looking for something suitable for the children, look no further than Ornos, Paragas or <\/span>Platys Gialos which are among the most popular on the island with many facilities at hand for all your beach-bound days including a variety of water sports.<\/span><\/p>\n

Catamaran Sunset Cruise\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Explore the coastline of Mykonos on board your very own luxurious catamaran cruise. This is a great way to take advantage of the crystal clear waters that surround the island by snorkelling and swimming to your heart\u2019s content while in <\/span>Mykonos<\/span><\/a> and the surrounding islands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most of the cruises also include dinner, some drinks and a stunning sunset on board which could be the romantic activity you are looking for while travelling with your loved one.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Best Time to Go to Mykonos<\/b><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s possible to travel to Mykonos at any time of year due to its position on the Aegean Sea. You\u2019ll find that the water is always warm and the air temperature is moderate even during the \u2018low season\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For those who wish to avoid the crowds and the prices that come with them, the best time to visit Mykonos would be in the shoulder season in April, May and October.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. The Hidden Jewel of the Cyclades: Naxos<\/b><\/h2>\n

Naxos island in Greece is the relatively unknown (and unspoiled) jewel of the Aegean crown of sparkling paradisiacal islands. Although the largest of the Cyclades islands, Naxos is often overshadowed by its flashier, super-star neighbours like Mykonos or Santorini. Despite this, Naxos needs no bells and whistles.<\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Naxos island is particularly alluring to those seeking a more peaceful and quiet retreat, with plenty of dollops of Greek culture, ancient history and unadulterated nature on the side. Naxos is crisscrossed with abundant hiking trails, the most notable one on Mount Zas, the highest point of the Cyclades. Legend has it, it contains the mountain where Zeus was raised. Naxos\u2019 main town, Chora, is brimming with refined Venetian architecture, evidence of three centuries of Venetian rule.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With balmy Mediterranean weather all year round, Naxos also boasts of beautiful sandy beaches, such as the acclaimed Agios Prokopios, and has plenty of picturesque seaside villages to get lost in.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Best Things to Do in Naxos<\/b><\/h2>\n

Whether you\u2019re seeking ancient sights, unmatched seafront views or a truly authentic Greek experience, Naxos\u2019 uncrowded atmosphere delivers something for all types of travellers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conquer Mount Zeus, the Highest Point of the Cyclades<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The tallest peak in Naxos, and in fact the Cyclades, Mount Zeus (locally named Zas), holds an important historical weight in Greek culture for it is thought to be the birthplace of Zeus, the god of the sky.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite its namesake, you needn\u2019t be a Greek Olympian to hike the modest trails found on Mount Zeus. During spring and summer, you\u2019ll often find the paths dotted with wildflowers and herbs, as well as a couple of caves and some springs to stop in. Even if you don\u2019t make it to the top, views from virtually any point of Mount Zeus are spectacular.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Visit the Mesmerising Symbol of Naxos: Portara<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you approach Naxos by ferry, this beguiling landmark will be one of the first sights to appear on the horizon. These door-like archaeological ruins are thought to be what is left of a temple of Apollo, begun in the 6th century BC but never finished.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The enormous six-metre marble frame lies in an iconic location, standing on the islet of Palatia, and boasts unparalleled views of the neighbouring island of Paros across the water. The monument is best enjoyed under the golden light of sunrise or sunset.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Best Time to Go to Naxos<\/b><\/h2>\n

Choosing the best time to visit Naxos can be a daunting experience for some, but due to its temperate climate all year round, Naxos island always has something on offer both off-season and on. So, if you\u2019re in doubt, there\u2019s no time like the present!<\/span><\/p>\n

Naxos is a self-sufficient island that doesn\u2019t solely rely on tourism for its livelihood (unlike some of the more upscale Cyclades islands), so you will still easily find a buzz around its towns and popular sights off-season too.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. The Most Distinctive Greek Island: Crete<\/b><\/h2>\n

Unspoilt beauty, a diverse mix of terrain and ancient treasures to behold; Crete is arguably the most distinctive of the Greek archipelago.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the largest of the Greek islands, Crete\u2019s wealth of vineyards and fertile lands means it is one of the few islands that could support itself without the help of tourism. Despite this, Crete offers everything you could want from a Greek island: beautiful beaches, wonderfully fragrant cuisine, remote lands and some of the friendliest locals you\u2019ll meet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The island of Crete is exceptional in many ways, mainly due to the diversity of its landscapes. Almost like a country of its own, Crete sits far south of the rest of Greece and whilst it parts of the island are reminiscent of the nation as a whole, the island stands whole for its unmistakable culture and charming atmosphere. Setting it apart from the rest of Greece is Crete\u2019s strong historic background as the <\/span>island was the birthplace of the Minoans, the first advanced society in Europe, who ruled over 4,000 years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

The Best Things to Do in Crete<\/b><\/h2>\n

Whilst the popular beaches and bigger towns and cities draw the most visitors, Crete\u2019s charm spreads far and wide <\/span>to villages where locals share their traditions, wonderful cuisine and generous spirit. There is an abundance of things to see and do in Crete.<\/span><\/p>\n

Explore the Best Beaches in Crete!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Crete is famed for its endless string of sand and skyscraper dunes. From the mega beach resorts to the hard-to-reach coves, Crete has a beach to suit everyone\u2019s taste.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Balos Beach is one of Crete\u2019s most famous; its abundance of pale pink and white shells which scatter the sand gives the illusion of a balmy, rose-coloured beach fringed by shimmering turquoise waters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Elafonisi Beach is Crete\u2019s famous pink beach which has come to be adored by many. The island which Elafonisi Beach is found is walking distance from the mainland and makes for an excellent day trip in Crete.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Trek through the Longest Gorge in Europe<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Regarded by locals as a sacred place, hiking in the Samaria Gorge is an experience in itself. A huge 18 kilometres in length, the Samaria Gorge\u2019s spectacular landscape and scenery dazzle every visitor. Throughout the hike you\u2019ll encounter a variety of wildflowers, winding trails and remnants of pretty villages and churches that are worth making a stop.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whilst this hike may be warm during summer, the views of the Libyan Sea at the end of the hike as you sit in a local cafe with a Greek beer in hand will make you sure of the fact that it is one of the best things to do in Crete.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

The Best Time to Go to Crete<\/b><\/h2>\n

Crete is blessed with the longest summers of all of the destinations in Greece. In Crete, you can be sunning yourself right up until October and you won\u2019t be chilly paddling in the ocean off the beautiful beaches until early November.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Crete is suitable to travel at any time of the year but the island\u2019s typical tourism season is between April and mid-October.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. The Magical Medieval Island of Rhodes<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you want to step back to a time where knights proudly roamed the streets and grand majestic castles were a common sight, Rhodes island may just be the fairytale you\u2019re seeking. Stone-paved alleys, an atmospheric old town, a charming medieval castle and elegant mansions are just a few of the characteristics that have earned Rhodes its nickname of the \u201cKnight\u2019s Island\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rhodes is one of the largest and more cosmopolitan islands of the Dodecanese island groups, located in the shimmering azure waters of the Aegean Sea. Its rich history, ancient archaeological sites and sun-drenched bays will leave you wondering why you haven\u2019t visited earlier.<\/span><\/p>\n

On a trip to Rhodes, it\u2019s impossible not to find an inch of the island that doesn\u2019t have a story to tell, some striking nature to trod on or a hidden past to discover. Whether you come for the verdant hilly landscapes, become enamoured by the cobblestoned Street of the Nights or end up staying for the long uninterrupted line of sandy beaches, Rhodes is the ideal Greek destination for all tastes of travel.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Best Things to Do in Rhodes<\/b><\/h2>\n

As the largest island of the Dodecanese complex, Rhodes is brimming with history, medieval castles, and unspoiled beaches. Whether you want to step back in time or simply kick back and unwind in a slice of Grecian paradise, activities and destinations in Rhodes are plentiful.<\/span>\"\"

Set Sail on a Boat Trip from Rhodes to Symi Island<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you have the time, a day on Symi Island is well worth a visit, and the great news is it is only a short boat trip from Rhodes. You\u2019ll find no fancy resorts or large hotels here – this is a true taste of authentic Dodecanese island living!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Curiously, Symi was once one of the world\u2019s greatest sponge-diving centres, and you\u2019ll find local stalls selling sponges all over the island. Other than their unique product, the island is well-known for its colourful houses, dramatic scenery, quaint harbour and exceptional seafood.<\/span><\/p>\n

Catch a Glimpse of Medieval Life in the Enthralling Rhodes Old Town<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re a fan of charming narrow streets, ancient churches and medieval architecture then Rhodes old town should be at the top of your list of things to do in Rhodes. As the largest medieval city in Europe, Rhodes\u2019 city walls span over four kilometres and hold a number of strongholds, towers and plenty of nooks and crannies to explore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For the history buffs out there, experiencing a tour of Rhodes Old Town may be a great way to step back in time and learn about the stories that once played out within Rhodes\u2019 city walls.<\/span>\"\"

The Best Time to Go to Rhodes<\/b><\/h2>\n

Thanks to its positioning in the heart of the Aegean Sea, Rhodes benefits from a balmy Mediterranean climate all-year-round. Renowned for its majestic coastline and transparent waters, the summer months are the first choice for many travellers looking to spend their holiday in an idyllic Mediterranean island. High season here can be longer than other islands in Greece and spans from April to November.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Winds characterize the island all year round, and if in the summer they cool down those gasp-inducing heat waves, in the winter months they make the climate milder too.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, What Are You Waiting For?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Whether you are looking to witness the best sunset of your life in <\/span>Santorini<\/span><\/a>, beach hop in <\/span>Mykonos<\/span><\/a>, discover hidden gems in <\/span>Naxos<\/span><\/a>, trek through the longest gorge in Europe in <\/span>Crete<\/span><\/a> or stroll through the charming Old Town of <\/span>Rhodes<\/span><\/a>, you\u2019ll find that the Greek islands have something for everyone!<\/span><\/p>\n

Having lived in Southeast Asia between Vietnam and Bali for three years, I'm now keeping toasty with a cuppa in a little English town planning future adventures for which I have constant inspiration. Offline, there's nothing I enjoy more than long cycle rides, fueling the foodie in me and seeking out new spots - preferably all at the same time.
