After the third and fourth largest Greek islands, Lesbos and Rhodes, the rest of the islands are two-thirds of the area of Rhodes, or smaller.
The second largest island in area is Euboea or Evvia, which is separated from the mainland by the 60m-wide Euripus Strait, and is administered as part of the Central Greece region.
The largest Greek island by both area and population is Crete, located at the southern edge of the Aegean Sea. The number of inhabited islands is variously cited as between 166 and 227. Come quick though - Kythira saw a whopping 340-percent increase in search interest this year, over eight times as much as the next-most-popular search.Greece has many islands, with estimates ranging from somewhere around 1,200 to 6,000, depending on the minimum size to take into account. You can also visit the capital city of Hora where a Venetian castle looks out over the island, and you’ll enjoy book shops, coffee shops, and serene rooftop restaurants. Here, you’ll hike past ruins of old mills to waterfalls perfect for cooling off after a long hike.Īnother hidden trail takes you to the secluded beach at Kalami, which will require either a canyoning guide or a 90-foot descent down a cliff to reach. Once on-island, you’ll find a place filled with rivers and deep gorges where you can lose yourself in river trails like the one off the village of Mylopotamos. The most cost-effective way to get here is to travel to the far south of the Peloponnese peninsula and grab a ferry from Neapoli, a long trip but also a cool way to see some new parts of the country. No slice of paradise should be easily obtained, and the sparsely populated island of Kythira is no exception.
