The Best Greek Islands for this Summer

White washed houses clinging to the steep island hillsides. Picture perfect crystalline blue and turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea.  It’s these images that come to mind when dreaming about a vacation to Greece. The dramatic landscapes and scenic vistas draw thousands of people every year to this charming country.

Getting around in Greece is an adventure all on its own, and island hopping is THE Greek experience. Feeling the wind in your hair, and the splash of cool ocean water on your skin is an invigorating experience. Listening to the waves splashing against the side of the boat and diving into the sea from the deck of your catamaran is every vacationer’s dream!

Greece is the perfect place to fall into step with laid-back locals on one of the 227 inhabited Aegean islands, indulge your tastebuds with delicious fresh cuisine, and let the intense rays of sun warm your soul.

Here are the Best Greek Islands to Visit this Summer:

Santorini. If you don’t have time for anything else, the one island that you cannot miss is Santorini. World class sunsets, black and red volcanic sand beaches and a magic feel that is almost palpable.
