Your summer vacation plans may be ruined for now, but you can already start planning next year’s holiday! If you’ve always wanted to visit the famous Greek islands, here are our top 3 picks to get you started.
Skiathos
Many travelers remember their vacation on Skiathos fondly. We’re not surprised—it may be the smallest of the Sporades islands but it’s also the most peaceful one, with beautiful sandy beaches and a relaxing atmosphere that you’re looking for. Travel alone or with a partner and bring your favorite book for reading on the beach.
Lefkada
Lefkada is a great choice for surfers and sailors. If you want an active vacation, this is where you should go. There are many sheltered beaches that aren’t typically crowded so you can get some rest after trying windsurfing on the south coast.
Sifnos
If you want to explore Greek cuisine, Sifnos is the place for you. The author of the first Greek cookbook was born here and the island is absolutely devoted to showing you all the amazing foods that Greek cuisine has to offer. We’re not talking about gyros and souvlaki; you’ll try delicious chickpea croquettes and other amazing dishes. As a souvenir, you can take home a handmade earthenware casserole dish.
