Although most of us close our eyes and dream about the enchanting images of white Santorini, there are so many more Greek islands to choose from that you never know exactly where to start island-hopping in Greece..or where to finish!
So, please let me help you island-hop Greece like a local, using my own travel experience of living in Greece for many years.
Cyclades: These are the most popular islands in Greece. When you go island-hopping in the Cyclades, you can visit gorgeous places like Santorini, Mykonos, Sifnos, Syros, and Folegandros.
These islands are easy to visit when visiting Greece from Italy, one of the many popular Greek island-hopping routes. Corfu, Lefkada, Kefalonia, Zakynthos, and Ithaka are some of the best-known Ionian Islands.
These beautiful green Greek islands include Alonissos, Skyros, Skiathos, and Skopelos.
Crete To Santorini There are no direct flights from Crete to Santorini, but a ferry route connects both islands during the high season with at least 2-3 daily ferry crossings.
Athens, the capital of Greece, offers access to all the islands, either by plane or by ferry routes to the Greek islands. Popular islands, including Rhodes, Corfu, Crete, Mykonos, and Santorini.
The only way to travel between Mykonos and Santorini is by boarding a ferry since no direct flights connect the Aegean Islands. You can save some money traveling with regular service, pay more, and cut off your traveling time by at least two good hours.
