Last year, I had a chance of visiting one of my dream places, Santorini ( the most famous and popular greek island destinations). Even since then, I promised myself to go back to Greece to explore more of the wonderful places that it has to offer.

I think Greece has one of the best island destinations in the world in my opinion, relatively cheaper flights from south east Asians countries too, now that budget airlines fly to Europe from Singapore , Malaysia and Thailand. The food are delicious, the places are so beautiful, the people are friendly and the beaches are crystal clear. So here are some of the most beautiful islands in the country.
1.Mykonos

I find out about Mykonos from one of jay alvarrez's youtube videos. I thought it was Santorini which is basically the only greek island I know. But it wasn't . it's called mykonos. Mykonos is the most popular island to party, but even you are not a party lover like me, you will still have a great time in pretty streets of the white-washed walls, flowering trees, colorful doors and stunning sights
2.Zakynthos

Zakynthos is famous for Navagio Beach (also known as “The Shipwreck Beach”) and the Blue Caves.Just look at that blue water, argh!
3.Crete

Crete is the largest Greek island and the fifth largest one in the Mediterranean Sea. It is also the birthplace of Zeus ,has an incredible history, showcased in world-famous archaeological sites and in museums stuffed with antiquities.
4.Milos

Milos is a volcanic island in the Cyclades .Also known as 'the Island of Colours' Milos is relatively quiet, compared with it's bigger neighbours with incredible landscape.
5.Naxos

Náxos is the biggest and the greenest island in Cyclades with impressively high mountains, fertile valleys, lush green gorges, stunning seascapes and traditional villages perched high on mountain tops.
6.Paros

Paros is one of the lesser known Cycladic islands in which the architecture is all about white houses and churches with blue rooftops.
7.Ios

Another Cycladic Island, Ios is also a very popular island for nightlife out of all the Greek islands. As you can see, I have an obsession with white and blue houses.sorry can't help.
8.Corfu

I visited corfu last year, it was more green with lots of mountains, one of the highest olive producers in Greece. And you can even take a day trip to albania while you are there .
at last
9.Santorini

One of the most romantic destination in the world , although the island can get very crowded , it's one of the most beautiful place I have ever been..

I am so excited for you. Have google samotraki,looks amazing . thank you for reading .
Was in Athens, Santorini and Crete but there are sooo many great places in Greece. Good blogpost. And yeah we love Jay Alvarrez too hahaha...and he seems to really like Mykonos as he is quite often there
awesome, yes his videos feature a lot from mykonos.
Wished he would do more videos though :)
Why am I in Berlin?
At least you live quite near from greece. that's a very nice gif.
Amazing photos! Really want to visit the Greek Islands myself
They look amazing , I want to go back to visit more soon.
Beautiful! Love the white and blue! :)
isn't it the perfect combo? so obsessed .
Yes! It is so uplifting. I can see why you are obsessed! So clean and airy looking.
My friend Tammy wants to go to Greece someday. I just might have to head over there with her when she goes :)
nice,, I hope you and tammy go to Greece and will look forward to your greece travel pictures here on steemit. :)
Aww, thanks! I hope we do too! and for SURE, the pics will be on here! :)))

Beautiful pictures with nice information
Glad you enjoy reading them. thank you.
Nice post...you can't go wrong in recommending the Greek islands!
Out of that list I've been to Mykonos, Ios, Santorini, Crete... Would also say Rhodes is interesting😀
thanks.. which one is your most favourite of the places that you have been, minus santorini ? I wanted to included Rhodes, but it's kind of far to reach , so intentionally skipped that one but agree it's interesting .
Difficult to say - each one is completely different😀 If you like narrow white streets, Ios has that also along with mykankos as a party place. I like Mykonos...but in terms of stuff to do Crete is probably the best as it's way bigger than any of the others!
I get what you mean, look the same but completely different. Yeah I get pretty crazy with those white streets and flowery houses. If I have to spend two weeks in those island, I think I will choose mykonos, naxos, paros and ios. Well, dream is free. :) I google crete and found some pictures, remind me of the landscape of a day trip from athens to cape sunion . Have you been ?
amazing post,, god job keep it up....

Wow, what a beautiful and stunning place. As a more recent traveler I hope to one day visit a place or two on your list. The Zakynthos shot would make me never wanna leave.
Be careful when you hike to the view point of the shipweck beach in Zakynthos, I have read , people died from trying to take a pic over there.
I will keep that in mind, thanks.
