Even focusing on the 227 that are inhabited, it is still an overwhelming amount to take in. Any \u201cbest Greek island to go to\u201d search is going to yield scads of lists backed by differing preferences.<\/p>\n<p>The good thing is, whichever island you choose to add to your trip, you won\u2019t be disappointed. Here are a few to get you started:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Santorini<\/strong> \u2013 Favorite spot for honeymoons, romantic getaways, and volcano tours. The Whitewashed village spreads on the slope of a rocky hill overlooking the sea. The churches of Agios Spiridonas and Snasteseos sprout among the enchanting buildings as the familiar <strong>Santorini blue domes<\/strong>. The southern tail of the island hosts <strong>Red Beach<\/strong> in its curve. The towering bright red cliffs contrasting the blue waters below make for a stunning hike and endless photo opportunities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mykonos<\/strong>,<strong> Ios<\/strong>, and <strong>Zakynthos <\/strong>&#8211; These islands are known for excellent beaches and <strong>nightlife<\/strong>. <strong>Ios<\/strong> is said to host some game-ridden bar crawls. As for sights, the historical <strong>Paraportiani Orthodox Church<\/strong> is found on Mykonos and attracts many in admiration. Zakynthos is home to <strong>Shipwreck Beach<\/strong> (a.k.a. Navagio Beach), an astonishing cove where the remains of a mysterious ship lie abandon on the coast.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rhodes Town<\/strong> \u2013 Located on the tip of the easternmost island reaching toward Turkey. It is visited for its blend of historic monuments, souvenir shops, and strolling among the quaint cobblestone streets of Old Town.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Corfu Town<\/strong> \u2013 A UNESCO World Heritage Site and packed with interesting history (we hear <strong>Corfu\u2019s Banknote Museum<\/strong> is surprisingly fascinating). Home to picturesque Venetian architecture, neoclassical mansions, and the <strong>15<sup>th<\/sup> Century Old<\/strong> <strong>Fortress<\/strong>. Souvenir shops and eateries provide pleasant pauses to your exploration.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Hiking<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1524\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/AdobeStock_163183655-Meteora-Monasteries.jpeg\" alt=\"meteora monasteries-greece\" width=\"1500\" height=\"574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/AdobeStock_163183655-Meteora-Monasteries.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/AdobeStock_163183655-Meteora-Monasteries-300x115.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/AdobeStock_163183655-Meteora-Monasteries-1024x392.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/AdobeStock_163183655-Meteora-Monasteries-768x294.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/AdobeStock_163183655-Meteora-Monasteries-1200x459.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Greece\u2019s mountainous terrain presents nearly constant hiking opportunities. The east side of Santorini boasts the historic <strong>Mesa Vouno Mountain<\/strong>. Once the location of the Ancient City of Thera, Mesa Vouno is full of easy hiking paths and switchbacks enveloped by stunning ocean views.<\/p>\n<p>Crete\u2019s <strong>Samaria National Park<\/strong> allows outdoor-lovers to venture onto rugged terrain encased by the awe-inspiring walls of the <strong>Samaria Gorge<\/strong>. Located in the White Mountains, the gorge measures 10 miles and ends in the town of Agia Roumeli where trail transforms to shore as it meets the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<p>Hiking, rock climbing, and even <strong>kayaking<\/strong> are popular activities in <strong>Kalambaka<\/strong>, a town in central Greece where travelers discover the fantasy-level <strong>Meteora Monasteries<\/strong> \u2013 towering rock formations that have complexes of Eastern Orthodox Monasteries built into them.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Diving<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>The Blue Caves in Z\u00e0kynthos<\/strong> \u2013 Besides hosting the aquatic ruins of Shipwreck Beach, the island has an adventurous hot-spot nestled in its eastern claw. The Blue Caves are a major attraction for explorers, sailors, and scuba divers who want to witness the water\/light collaboration that takes place inside. Visiting in the morning or at sunset are the best times to see the light reflecting phenomenon that gives the rocky interior an alien blue hue.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Unique Tours<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1529 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/iStock-497252064-Greece-Parga-Balkans-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Gorgeous beach in Greece\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/iStock-497252064-Greece-Parga-Balkans-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/iStock-497252064-Greece-Parga-Balkans-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/iStock-497252064-Greece-Parga-Balkans-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/iStock-497252064-Greece-Parga-Balkans-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/iStock-497252064-Greece-Parga-Balkans.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sailing Trip<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As we mentioned, there are so many islands in Greece. Booking a day or multi-day sailing trip is an excellent way for clients to see more than just a couple. Popular routes include Lefkas, Cyclades, Sporades, the Ionian Islands, and the Dodecanese island chain that includes Rhodes, Kos, and Patmos islands. There are several <strong>tour companies<\/strong> that offer trips crafted to showcase the best of these places.<\/p>\n<p>Sailing tours are available or <strong>private yachts<\/strong> are available to rent. If clients are not traveling with a competent companion that can sail the boat, <strong>skippers<\/strong> and <strong>captains<\/strong> can be hired through the rental places.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Volcano Tours<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The beautiful Satorini Island was once the site of a powerful volcano, whose eruption between 1642 and 1540 B.C. wiped out the Minoan civilization. <strong>Nea Kameni<\/strong> is the present area with active craters you can hike around. Because there are no ferries or water taxis to the island, booking a volcano tour is the only way to explore the area.<\/p>\n<p>Some tour packages include a visit to the <strong>Palea Kameni hot springs<\/strong> and sailing around the island. Booking tour packages give you the opportunity to enhance your clients\u2019 experience and earn more commission. You can explore tours and activities right on your <strong>WINGS<\/strong> <strong>(LINK)<\/strong> booking platform.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>A NIRVANA FOR FOODIES<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The meals in Greece are diverse and the portions are massive, so appetites are in good hands regardless of where your clients are at in this country.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1527\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/AdobeStock_309909172-Greek-food.jpeg\" alt=\"Platter of Greek food\" width=\"1500\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/AdobeStock_309909172-Greek-food.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/AdobeStock_309909172-Greek-food-300x89.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/AdobeStock_309909172-Greek-food-1024x302.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/AdobeStock_309909172-Greek-food-768x227.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.skybirdtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/AdobeStock_309909172-Greek-food-1200x354.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Souvlaki<\/strong> is a popular fast food dish. The skewer of meat and veggies accompanied by pita bread or fried potatoes pairs well with a day of exploring. <strong>Gyros<\/strong>, of course, are another common go-to and are available everywhere. Any restaurant labeled \u201cGyradiko\u201d sells them, and even this dish\u2019s style varies among Greek cities. <strong>Fava<\/strong>, a split pea pur\u00e9e, is a favorite in Santorini and the villages in Crete each have a preferred <strong>cheese<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Greece\u2019s coastline positioning gives its seafood and vegetables and undeniable quality. Even their Greek salads, topped with giant blocks of <strong>fresh feta<\/strong>, are superior to our versions.
