LIST OF UNEXPLORED ISLANDS OF GREECE (for Extended Tour)
1. 1. Folegandros – The magical island
Where: Folegandros is in the southern corner of the Cyclades.
Why go: Perhaps the most enchanting island in the Cyclades, Folegandros matches its glitzy neighbour Santorini for striking views, but is a fraction of the price. This untouched paradise is sprinkled with secret coves, stark coastlines and higgledy-piggledy hamlets. The spectacular hilltop village of Hora is one of the most magical spots in Greece.
Getting there: Fly to Santorini then take a ferry or hydrofoil to Folegandros (1-3 hrs).
Where: Milos is the southwesternmost island in the Cyclades.
Why go: This striking volcanic island is where the Venus de Milo was first discovered (she’s now living it up in the Louvre). Milos boasts a coastline of more than 65 beaches, the standout being the spectacular, moonlike Sarakiniko – currently starring all over Instagram – which has waters so blue you’ll think the pictures are filtered.
Getting there: Easy! Fly to Athens then take a hopper flight to Milos (45 mins).
Where: Kastellorizo is about 2km off the Turkish coast near Kas.
Why go: Far-flung Kastellorizo is a microcosm of everything that’s great about Greece: the bluest, clearest waters, the prettiest pastel houses and gorgeous little tavernas serving fresh food by the water’s edge. It’s also the smallest of Greece’s inhabited islands (just 2 miles across), the furthest from Athens, and has just one village – and no cars save the odd taxi. What a winner!
Getting there: Fly to Rhodes, then ferry to the island (2-3 hrs). Check ferry before booking your hotel.
Where: Lefkas is part of the Ionian islands.
Why go: Wait, an island you can drive to? Lefkas (or Lefkada) has some of the most dazzling beaches in Greece – all sugar-soft sands and electric blue seas – but is separated from the Greek mainland by a small bridge. You’re free to explore the sun-bleached villages and the flower-strewn valleys. Thrill junkies should make a beeline for twin hotspots Vassiliki and Nidri, both magnets for watersports.
Getting there: Fly to Preveza on the Greek mainland, then take a taxi or hire a car and drive straight over the bridge!
Where: Symi is part of the Dodecanese, just off the coast of Turkey.
Why go: The scene that greets you as you pull into Symi’s harbour is dazzling: a hotchpotch of pastel-hued Neoclassical mansions tumbling down gentle slopes towards a royal-blue shore. At sunset, when the light turns golden, strolls along the front here are impossibly romantic. Away from town, Symi is blessed with tiny, isolated beaches and dozens of sparkling turquoise coves, accessible only by boat.
Getting there: Fly to Rhodes (either directly or via Athens), then take a taxi (20 mins) to the harbour, where there are regular ferries and high-speed hydrofoils to Symi Town. Cameras at the ready for arrival!
Where: Ithaka is one of the Ionian islands, off the northeast coast of Kefalonia.
Why go: The epic island home of wandering Odysseus may be famous in world literature, but this hidden gem is mostly unknown to tourists. It’s a wooded, hilly island with a jagged coast. Sailors love its sheltered harbours, swimmers its emerald waters, and you can discover places with wonderful names like The Cave of Nymphs and The Fountain of Arethousa.
Getting there: Easy! Fly direct to Kefalonia (easyjet) then take a quick 45-min ferry from Sami or Poros.
Where: Andros is the northernmost island in the Cyclades.
Why go: Probably our favourite secret island in Greece, Andros is like the Scottish Highlands plonked down in the south Aegean. Like the Highlands, Andros is endowed with waterfalls, forests and stone-paved trails, but is equally packed with whitewashed villages and over 70 sun-drenched beaches. It’s a near wild heaven.
Getting there: Fly to Athens, taxi to Rafina, then ferry to Andros (3 boats daily, 2 hrs). Check ferry schedules before booking your hotel.
Where: Alonissos is part of the Sporades islands, east of Skiathos.
Why go: You’re at the centre of a national marine park, the largest of its kind in Europe. The pristine waters are a playground for Mediterranean monk seals (the continent’s rarest mammal), a variety of dolphins, and rare seabirds. Diving here is a pure joy. And the near-deserted beaches are pretty spectacular too, fringed by a lush cloak of Aleppo pines and olives.
Getting there: You’ll need to travel by ferry from either Skiathos (2.5 hrs) or Volos on the mainland (3-4.5 hours by ferry).
