Unknown Greek islands

Greece is renowned all over the world for its beautiful islands and crystal clear waters.

When travelling there the top island-destinations are usually Crete and Cyprus, for a cultural holiday, Santorini for some romantic time, and Mykonos for a crazy-party vacation.

“Ordinary” travellers swarm to those places, as they don’t know that Greece actually is home to some of the world’s most stunning islands—the majority of which are unknown.

If you are tired of travelling to places that are packed with tourists, then you should definitely take a look at the following guide to Greece’s most beautiful unknown islands.
