I'm sure you've heard of the Greek Islands. Because of their history, their beauty, because they have been decorated with movies like Mamma Mia and because it is one of the most desired cruises.
Any of the images you've seen includes turquoise waters, white houses, villages with steep streets, bright colors and lots of relaxation. Well, that's if you want, because jarana is there to bore even the most partygoer.
The truth is that Greek islands have many faces; there are big and famous ones like Crete, flags of history like Rhodes and other little ones lost in the middle of nowhere.
Up to a total of 227 inhabited Greek islands, of which there are up to 2,000 of the others.
In other words, a dilemma when it comes to singing.
Among all these pearls scattered between the Aegean and the Ionian Seas, which one to keep?
Here we bring you a small repertoire to start with: some more famous and others less so you have a choice.
We started.
Before we dive right into the ones we have chosen for you, we are going to locate them on the map, an ideal time to use the Greece Trip Planner.
In order for you to position yourself when choosing, you basically have to know that The Greek Islands are spread between the Aegean and Ionian Seas.
Among those in the Aegean are the Cyclades Islands, famous because they have examples such as Mykonos and Santorini, mandatory stops for all the holy cruises on the Greek Islands that flood these wonderful places with tourists.
Also in the Aegean are the islands of the Saronic Gulf, those of the Dodecanese and the North Aegean Islands. They are already less crowded in general.
Then there are the Greek Islands of the Ionian Sea, which include superstars such as Corfu, Kelafonia or Ithaca.
And Crete? The famous Crete is in the Mediterranean, to the south of the peninsula.
So far for today's geography lesson. Now let's go for those pearls to start discovering the Greek islands.
There go the Greek Islands that we think are worth noting in our Scheduler; we have classified them by tastes and preferences, so you know what you are going for.
It is not at all simple to choose a few Greek Islands that have a rich history with their well-preserved heritage, because they are untouched.
However, there are two that are especially interesting: Rhodes and Corfu.
Rhodes It is the capital of the Dodecanese Islands and a geographically interesting point that became a very important port in the Mediterranean. And we already know that cities with ports are the gateway to various civilizations, goods and cultures.
It's very worth getting lost in the cobblestone streets: arches, squares and unexpected facades of different styles will keep you company.
AND Corfu... Oh, Corfu! The charm of the greenest of the Ionian Islands is hard to explain. Here you won't see the typical picture of white houses against the blue sea. In Corfu, coves and beaches on the edge of a forest and also an old Venetian town await you.
Yes, yes, as you hear it. The fact is that you can find architectural expressions of all kinds; it is not in vain that it was under Venetian, French and British rule before joining Greece in 1864.
To witness this miscegenation, kick his capital, Kerkyra.
And to enjoy its nature, rent a car and explore its coastline. But take off your watch.
It's worth taking the time to stop and contemplate the landscapes that Corfu has to offer you. Slow tourism.
And speaking of taking it easy, traveling mindfully and dedicating time to yourself: in the Greek Islands there are some beaches where you can practice that you can take it easy The feeling.
Lying in the sun, listening to the sound of the wind, taking a bath, reading, snorkeling... that's also traveling, because it's not necessary to walk all the time from one point to another as if it were a competition.
In addition to the Seven dreamy Greek beaches which we already recommend to you, if you really want to go to a remote place where you can jump at the bartola, head to Skopelos Island, the island where it was filmed Mamma Mia.
The truth is that it takes its time to arrive, but the prize is big: deserted white microstone beaches where a sunset is a religious experience.
The most impressive: Stafilos, Limnonari, Milia and Glisteri.
And we radically changed our spirit to go from relaxation to traca.
Whoever says they haven't heard of “night covens” in the Greek Islands is not in this world.
The queen of the night is Mykonos, whose night days are insane. And yes, one of the favorites of the gay community.
This doesn't mean that straight people have nothing to do there. In Mykonos there are parties for all tastes and colors. What's more, its eclecticism is probably its greatest charms.
Write down these names: Cavo Paradiso at Paradise Beach, The Super Paradise Beach Club and Scorpio at Playa Paraga. With those three you are already doing well.
A little - but only a little - more relaxed it is Ios, one of the busiest Cycladic Islands at night and also during the day; its beach parties that start in the morning and end at dawn are legendary.
For an experience like this, head to Mylopotas Beach, very close to Choras, the island's capital.
And if you're in the mood for a night out, but not so crappy, Santorini It's a great option: start with an aperitif watching the sunset from a terrace in Fira, then dinner and then any of its clubs, such as Enigma.
Of course, note and highlight in your Greece Trip Planner: no heels in Santorini, because you can die trying to walk through its streets.
And with this advice and a cake, we leave you deciding which of the Greek Islands you are going to direct your steps to first. And we say first because we know that, if you go once, you'll come back.
