Islands in the Sun

Who doesn’t dream of visiting the Greek Islands? We make lists of our favourites and plan holidays of idyllic island-hopping. There’s just something about the combination of whitewashed houses, multihued fishing boats in tiny ports, hills smelling of thyme, and the legends and ancient history that is irresistible. And that’s not even mentioning the party-scene!

The Cyclades group, which include Mykonos and Santorini, are justifiably popular, and Crete, the largest island, is especially rich in history. But there are nearly 2000 other islands, some still amazingly little-visited by tourists. Research will definitely pay off - for example, if you’re not a party animal, Ios may not be for you but Tinos could be perfect.

If you are looking for islands with fewer tourists why not sail towards Turkey and the islands of Kos, Chios & Samos. Travel tip: a package that includes ferry rides and accommodation on the islands of your choice will take the hassle and uncertainty out of your island-hopping!
