Island Jewels

Mykonos, Santorini, Corfu, Crete, Rhodes are some of the  Instagram ready islands; from the Aegean to the Ionian sea, the Greek islands have become world holiday destinations, including Hydra and Spetses just  a short hop from Athens.

A romantic sunset in Santorini’s Oia, with the beautiful horizon colors; dawn in Mykonos’s Little Venice, dancing and flirting as the sun comes up; viewing the sea from your opulent suite Crete’s Elounda; walking through the Medieval Rhodes’ Old Town; or the Italian architecture of Corfu’s Old Town; a stroll through the car-free streets of Hydra and Spetses.

Although the above mentioned are the most common island destinations, there are many others just as beautiful, but less crowded. Here are a few hidden diamonds: Kythira, Ithaca, Alonissos, Koufonisia, Ikaria, Thasos, Samothrace, Anafi,  Kimolos, Sifnos, Milos, Symi, Paxi, Patmos, Kalymnos, Karpathos, Astypalaia.

They boast emerald waters, idyllic beaches, bright sunlight, architecture and pristine nature, just like their famous siblings. These less travelled oases allow you to have a personal relationship with the land and its people, making your stay an unforgettable experience.

Note: in a lot of the Island photos you will see the name “Chora” or “Hora”. This is the main town on the island.
