Which Greek Island Should You Visit?

You should visit the beautiful Greek island of Karpathos. Karpathos is a strikingly beautiful island known for its gorgeous beaches and picturesque villages. It's one of the less-tourist-traveled islands in Greece, known for its incredible hiking trails for people seeking out an adventure while on vacation.

You should visit Mykonos! Mykonos, in case you haven't heard of it, is a legendary island in Greece, known for its stunning golden-sand beaches, gorgeous hillside architecture, and cosmopolitan culture. It's also known for being a party island, which should suit you just fine.

You should visit Corfu. As an intellectual and a history buff, you can only lounge in paradise for so long before you start to get antsy. Corfu is absolutely a Greek paradise--there's no doubt about that--but you can also stand to learn a lot about the ancient history and culture of the country of Greece on a stroll through Corfu's majestic old town.

You should visit Crete! You are not the type of person who wants to lounge around on the beach for the entire vacation, are you? You would love Crete, the largest island in Greece and thought by many to be the most diverse and beautiful of all the islands. For someone with so much energy, you will love the variety of things to do and places to explore in Crete--like the beach, the towns, hiking in the mountains, and of course, the authentic cuisine.

You should visit Zakynthos, the Greek island known for its wonderful eco-tourism programs. You will love going on hikes any time of year, to see the island's natural flora and fauna, and breathtaking scenery. Zakynthos is quiet and peaceful, the perfect place for deep relaxation or meditation.

You should visit Santorini. Santorini is one of the most popular, iconic island formations in all of Greece. Made up of five islands, Santorini is known for its exquisite beauty, whitewashed homes, and trendy shops and stores perched high on a 300-meter wall of rock. You will love learning about the history of the island as well as the world-class restaurants, resorts, and boutique hotels that line the winding, cliffside streets of Santorini.
