Which –Greek– island should you choose for your next holiday!

From the time Corfu started welcoming tourists by the hundreds, back in the 1960s, the take-off of the Greek islands had just begun!

But which island best suits your preferences? Which one should you choose for your next holiday?

It's difficult to choose a destination, but you should filter your needs, such as whether you like large sandy beaches, prefer adventure and mountaineering, if you want a relaxing holiday with your children, and so on.

Read the guide, search for cheap ferry tickets and decide what your next Greek island destination will be!

Travelling as a couple? Choose Kefalonia!

If you envy the images you see on Instagram photos or the postcards your friends bring you as souvenirs, then all these fantastic images with lush green landscapes and turquoise beaches can be found in Kefalonia!

In Kefalonia, you will find pine-covered mountains, caves with rocks, turtles, goats, and fine sandy beaches.

Argostoli attracts the most people to the island every summer, but there are equally beautiful places to visit, such as Fiskardo.

The further you move away from the island's capital, the more 'secrets' you will discover around the island of Kefalonia.

Don't forget to visit: Of course, Fiskardo! The coastal town with its harbour, in the north-eastern part of the island, will fill you with great and unexpected joy!

Be sure to dine at the seaside tavernas of Fiskardo – here you'll also see many small boats arriving, bringing people from the surrounding islets.

Hydra, the noble island with its slow pace

Just 70 km south of Athens, you will find a small and peaceful island where not even cars are allowed!

Apart from the peak season – that is, from June to August, during the other months Hydra is an earthly paradise, far from the tourist development that most islands of the Aegean and Ionian enjoy.

Hydra has remained untouched by the excessive development of other islands.

Here you will admire the harbour, which has stood since the 18^th century, the stone houses, and the cobbled streets.

Travelo tip: If you find yourself in Hydra, don't miss the chance to take a sea taxi and visit an inaccessible beach, like the bay of Agios Nikolaos, for the day.

Delos – Away from the spotlight

If you want an island away from the spotlight and monstrous development, then Delos is your destination!

With some of the most extensive temple excavations in the Mediterranean, this UNESCO protected area offers magnificent sights.

Here you will learn about the greatest history of Ancient Greece, while also enjoying your holiday!

Through the ongoing excavations over the years, you will see some amazing exhibits.

Start with the Terrace of the Lions and the Minoan Fountain, and don't miss visiting the House of Dionysus.

In reality, the entire island is a gigantic open-air museum of exhibits from Ancient Greece.

Day trips to and from the island are very easy.

If you visit Delos, don't miss the chance to visit the local museum.

Corfu – Tourism at its peak

If you want a holiday with plenty of life and lots of tourists around, then Corfu is the ideal destination for you.

With significant Venetian influences, Corfu stands out in the Ionian Sea and invites you to visit from Easter until the end of September.

Corfu offers both relaxation and entertainment – depending on what kind of holiday you're after!

Issos beach, also known as the 'Sahara of Corfu', is a cosmopolitan beach full of sand dunes and sandy mounds.

Here you will find hundreds of tourists from all over the world who come to photograph it and swim in its crystal-clear waters.

Due to the beach's location and favourable winds, you will find windsurfing and kitesurfing schools.

If you are a fan of extreme sports, this will become your favourite beach!

If you're not a fan of the sea and prefer the mountains, Corfu has a unique 200 km route to offer you, with hiking trails along the island and stunning coastal landscapes.

Travelo Tip: If you're coming to Corfu for the first time, you absolutely must not miss Issos beach and the Achilleion Palace.

To Sifnos for gastronomic experiences

The quiet Sifnos, compared to the other islands, offers unique experiences to its visitors.

Just 3 hours by catamaran from Athens, it attracts tourists seeking higher-level experiences.

This is where Nikos Tselementes was born and created – one of the first chefs in Greece with a tremendous influence on subsequent Greek and Mediterranean cuisine.

Locals say that the success of Sifnian cuisine has its roots in handmade terracotta dishes (clay pots).

If you find yourself in Sifnos, don't miss the chance to try as many traditional tavernas as you can, as this is how you will taste the uniqueness of the local cuisine.

Extra Tip: Try eating at Maiolica on Platis Gialos beach, and immediately afterwards, head to Sweet Shop for dessert!
