Discover the Untouched Beauty of Greece
With around 1,400 islands in the Greek archipelago, planning a Greek Island escape can be overwhelming. While Corfu and Crete allure many, here are five lesser-known islands that promise an unforgettable holiday experience.
Kea
Nestled in the Cyclades and just a stone’s throw from the mainland, Kea is a beloved retreat for locals. Easily accessible via a ferry from Lavrio?"just a 90-minute bus ride from Athens?"Kea offers a relaxed atmosphere, scenic walking trails, and around 50 miles of pristine coastline featuring secluded bays and sandy beaches. Explore the charming taverns of Ioulidha, visit the picturesque hill capital of Ioulis, or unwind at the marinas of Vourkari and Otzias Bay.
Evia
Evia, the second-largest Greek island after Crete, is dominated by the majestic Mt. Ochi. This island is a haven for walkers, boasting mountain villages connected by old stone paths, Roman ruins, and isolated beaches. Traverse lush valleys with stone bridges and fountains, and don’t miss the stunning Dimosaris Gorge, culminating at the village of Kalliani.
Evia is reachable by ferry from Athens, with the capital, Karystos, offering views of the Aegean Sea and nearby Cycladic Islands. Discover Roman aqueducts, Byzantine churches, vineyards, and deserted coves perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
Kalymnos
Surrounded by the islands of Leros and Kos, Kalymnos is known for its sponge divers and rugged beauty. Less touristy than its neighbors, it offers black-sand beaches and vibrant nightlife in Masouri. In Vathi, enjoy fresh seafood by the harbor and dive into clear waters from the jetty. Kalymnos is easily accessible by ferry from Piraeus.
Karpathos
Part of the Dodecanese Islands, Karpathos is a blend of untamed northern landscapes and peaceful southern coasts. With towering mountains, secluded beaches, and ideal hiking trails, this island offers an authentic Greek experience without the crowds. Explore the village of Olymbos, known for its traditional windmills and local wine production. Don’t miss the remains of a Minoan settlement at Diafani.
Nisyros
Tucked between Kos and Tilos, the volcanic island of Nisyros is a day-tripper’s delight, though it offers accommodations for longer stays. Ferries connect it to Piraeus and Rhodes. Visit the awe-inspiring volcano crater, walk through dramatic interiors, and relax in the therapeutic sulphurous waters. Discover charming Orthodox churches and explore the uninhabited monasteries beside medieval forts.
Each of these islands offers a unique slice of Greek paradise, just waiting to be discovered. Escape the crowds and experience the magic of Greece’s hidden gems.
