Did you know there are around 600 Greek Islands, with over 200 inhabited and countless uninhabited islands? They are best understood when broken down into groups or families. The clusters share common characteristics and influences in culture, architecture, climate, and cuisines making it easier to narrow down your travel options, with each one offering visitors unique experiences and travel options.
Discover idyllic beaches and ancient ruins in the birthplace of poetry and art. Cruise to temples, amphitheatres and villages preserved in volcanic ash, and experience wine tasting in Rhodes, where it is said that vines were first grown. Stroll the Alleys of Chania’s Old Town in Crete, roam the picturesque Zante Town and its rich history and walk in the ancient Romans’ footsteps on the island of Kos. Whether you are searching for cosmopolitan or secluded with beautiful beaches and lush mountains, the Greek Islands promise you a dreamy holiday.

Things you might want to know before travelling to the Greek Islands.
Best Greek Island to travel to
The most popular Greek Islands are Crete, Rhodes, Zante, Corfu, Santorini, and Kos. With dozens of magical islands to choose from, all with different personalities, the best Greek Island depends on how you define paradise. Regardless of your choice of destination, dreamy beaches with crystalline water, fine white sand and archaeological and cultural landmarks are guaranteed.
Best time to visit the Greek Islands
This depends on how you plan to spend your time. For the best weather, plan a trip to the Greek Islands in the late spring/early summer or at the beginning of Autumn. Midsummer is hot and the busiest time of year for the Greek Islands, so expect to be shoulder-to-shoulder with other tourists
Mamma Mia!
The film made up of ABBA hits has been inspiring Greek travel because whilst the film is set on the fictional island of Kalokairi in the film, the film locations can be found on different Greek Islands that fans of Mamma Mia tend to enjoy visiting, including Skopelos and Skiathos.
Island Hopping
Travel from island to island via flights but many are seasonal, meaning you can only fly at certain times of the year. So, take a cruise and soak in the Mediterranean waves on the sun-soaked Greek Isles, onboard a Greek Isle cruise. Before you set sail, don’t forget your Cruise Travel Insurance.
300 days of sunshine
The Greek Islands enjoy almost 300 days of sunshine every year. From hiking along mighty canyons in Crete to sightseeing in Skopelos, there is so much to do on the Greek Islands all-year round. Just because summer is fading, doesn’t mean the islands are off limits for the ultimate winter adventure, away from the summer crowds.
Do I need Greece Travel Insurance?
Yes. Before you buy Travel Insurance for the Greek Islands, you need to consider the cost of the trip, the activities you are likely to be doing, and how much medical cover you would like. If you need to cancel your holiday to the Greek Islands, make sure you can claim the equivalent value back (check policy wordings). We can offer extra cover for hazardous activities and although nobody wants to end up ill or in an accident, it does happen so ensure you are covered for the unforeseen.
Do UK Citizens have access to free healthcare in the Greek Islands?
No. With a European Health Insurance Card or Global Health Insurance Card, you are given access to state medical care, but you still may need to pay the cost of medical treatment. Ensure you have appropriate Travel Insurance for emergency medical treatment or unexpected medical evacuation if you need to be taken to the mainland, or different island for treatment or if you miss your scheduled flight home due an accident or hospital stay.
As soon as you’ve taken out your Greece Travel Insurance, make sure to organise any other essential travel documents you need.
