Santorini if you were to travel back three and a half Millennia Santorini wouldn't be the hugely
popular Island it is now much of manoa's early culture was lost in a Bronze Age eruption one
of the most devastating in history actually today however the volcanism is one of the Island's most
notable drawers with craters black sand beaches and daunting Cliffs giving the island a hauntingly
beautiful atmosphere the Mountaintop view of the ancient theoretics visitors back to a place
Time Forgot Santorini is simply gorgeous with Incredible architecture with lime washed cubed
houses lining The Villages and towns Santorini can be a dreamy destination for Honeymooners vansage
points like Scaris rock also provide awe-inspiring views of the ocean that'll wash your worries away
Crete Crete stands out as the largest island in Greece as well as the most heavily populated you
definitely get a sense of the Island's incredible natural beauty when exploring locales like Samaria
Gorge hike is looking for a challenge can try conquering Mount Ida the Island's highest points
where Zeus himself was born at least according to mythology the capital of heraclion is equally fit
for a god with Splendid Seaside views and stimulating historic sights particularly
the Bronze Age Palace of Minos in kinosos as intimidating as some sites are Crete is also lined
with calming locales such as the green masara plain blue may be the most soothing color though
and shorelines like balos beach boast alluring shades of turquoise roads we often look back with
regrets on the roads not taken technically there isn't a road to roads seeing how it's an island
if you pass away visit to the largest Dada kanese Island though you'll be missing out on a trip of
a lifetime Rhodes goes by a few different names one alluding to the medieval knights hospital and
another derived from Helios the Greek god of the sun speaking of which Rhodes was tailor-made for
sunbathing while there are sweeping stretches of sun like a fondue Beach there are also more
secluded spots like Saint Paul's Bay Rhodes is full of hidden gems like this which might
be one of the reasons it's considered hell of the 12 doticanese Islands the fortification of
roads which the Knight Hospital are built maybe the Island's most prized treasure and is a world
heritage site Corfu every student with a travel bug fantasizes about studying abroad in Greece if
you have your heart set on a Greek island consider enrolling at ionian University in Corfu but even
if you just drop by Corfu for a brief trip there's a plethora of History to visit those looking to
brush up an architecture will be drawn to the ancient Greek temples between the old fortress
to the new Fortress it's easy to understand why the capital was dubbed Castle City enthusiasts
of the Arts will be drawn to the music and theater scenes with Corfu being one of Greece's
most operatic Islands Corfu will perhaps also appeal the most to those fascinated by Legends
and aspects of Greek mythology such as a decius meeting princess nosuke in Homer's Odyssey Mykonos
Mykonos lives up to its reputation as the island of the Winds this isn't merely because of the
heavy Breeze flowing across the land propelling the 16th century Mykonos windmills in every sense
of the word Mykonos is a breathtaking Island from the waves washing up against the quaint coastlines
to the white dwellings Mykonos has developed a welcoming reputation for members of the lgbtq
plush Community with numerous bars clubs and Beach Clubs it's a foodie Paradise as well with
no shortage of Scenic spots to enjoy a plentiful meal with landmarks like Little Venice armenastus
Lighthouse and panagia paraportiani travelers might want to come equipped with a firm itinerary
in the spirits of the island though we say book a ticket and just go where the wind takes you
Milos the average traveler might not have heard about this volcanic island but chances are they're
familiar with a few Priceless works of art that were discovered there between its creation during
the Hellenistic period and being moved to the Louvre where it stands today the Venus de Milo was
Unearthed on this island before it was secured at the British museum the asclepius of Milos reared
its head here who knows maybe you'll stumble upon a lost work of art while exploring the
Island's beaches caves or Hills okay that might be unlikely considering that the island itself
is such a feast for the eyes though it'll likely feel you've wandered inside a meticulously crafted
painting sarakanako Beach may be the most unusual yet stunning sight with white rock formation
stretching up it's as if you're walking on a moon with natural bodies of water Patmos reaching this
island is half the journey since you can't land a plane in Patmos you'll have to get there via Ferry
Athens is probably the most popular port to travel from with a seven hour journey ahead that might
sound like a long trip but time flies by with such romantic views of the sea upon arriving you'll be
rewarded with even more entrancing sights like the monastery of Saint John at the Theologian
this Landmark was named after Book of Revelation author Saint John of Patmos who was said to have
experienced apocalyptic Visions on the island on that note you might be interested in checking
out the Cave of the Apocalypse where Saint John supposedly had divisions between these two world
heritage sites as well as The Windmills of Patmos this island is sure to awaken something within you
maxos it goes without saying that if you're in the market for a Greek Island Getaway beaches are
going to be a big part of the package few Islands offer a wider collection of beaches than naxos one
of them is even called Hawaii beach which sums up naxos in a nutshell it's the missing link between
the culture of Greece and the Carefree beachfront Ambiance of Hawaii for a bit more of that ancient
Greek atmosphere seek out the Temple of Sangre which can be traced back as far as 530 BCE the
Temple of Apollo was also constructed around this time although it was never finished the entrance
alone is a masterpiece of marble Emery is the rock that naxos is most famous for however as a matter
of fact it's the primary supplier of this rock if you stumble upon a piece consider it a souvenir
is known for many beaches and attractions but perhaps the best known is navagio Beach while
the Deep Blue Waters white sand and surrounding mountaintops are enticing enough there's no
denying what the main attraction is the ship washed up in the Cove the story behind the 1980
shipwreck is still debated with some believing the vessel was helmed by smugglers in any case
what could have been an eyesore has tanned navagio into one of the most interesting beaches not just
in Greece but in the entire world while the Shipwreck alone is worth the trip so kinthos
has much more to offer from its blue caves to its ancient ruins to the Island's main city so
kinthos has been described as the flower of the Levant and flower of the East with more than 7
000 flower species populating the island sakinthos is always in full bloom alanisos the best Greek
Islands have something special that makes them stick out from all the others in the case of
alanisos it's the marine life the islands surrounding Waters attract various alluring
creatures like dolphins but most people head there for the Mediterranean monk seals opening in 1992
the alanisos marine park has helped preserve these adorable creatures among other species
while part of the park is dedicated to research and other controlled activities there is a Zone
open to the public feel free to swim take photos and watch the wildlife from a safe distance there
are other dive sites around the island where you'll find blue caves and rainbow colored
reefs for land dwellers though the old village of Korra provides an atmospheric venue to bask
in the Greek sunlight do you agree with our picks check out this other recent clip from Mojo travels
