Which are the best Greek islands to visit on holiday.

Greece has some 230 inhabited islands . All are worth visiting when traveling to Greece for a vacation either by yourself or with friends or family. Each has it`s own personal appeal, each with different terrain and view points over the Aegean sea.

The Greek islands are divided into Groups as below.

• Saronic Islands –
• Cycladic Islands –
• North and South Aegean –
• Ionian –
• Argo Saronic –
• Sporades and
• Dodecanese …

Each island has its own attraction.. Some islands are quieter then others and each offers something to the adventurous traveler..All islands are reachable by ferry and the bigger islands take smaller airlines.. See below for map and layout of the islands .

The islands that draw the most tourist crowds are islands like Santorini – Paros – Mykonos – Rhodos – Milos – Skiathos – Ios – Kefalonia and Corfu to name  a few. If you do not like crowds and heat then the best times are the shoulder periods  MAY/ JUNE and  SEPT /OCT. The smaller and quieter islands are just as amazing.

So if you are going GREECE to just relax or take part in the local activities like scuba diving or sailing or meandering around the island on a quad bike, Greece has it all for the tourists
