​Whether you're seeking vibrant nightlife, tranquil beaches, or rich historical sites, island hopping in Greece offers a variety of experiences. Each island has its own distinct charm, culture, and landscape. And while traveling this rich historical region, taking a step back from the clutter of modern activities is an antidote to the stresses and strains of modern life. 

​These islands are famous for their stunning whitewashed buildings and picturesque sunsets. Some notable islands include Rhodes, Kos, and Symi. And while we can highly recommend the listed more tourist areas for their charm and calming influence, the islands can offer solitude and isolation, giving time to recharge and reset opens internal system.

With a hose to luxury apartment and villas available, traveling solo or with a group of chosen people, Island Hopping in Greece can offer both a classical simple vacation and a luxury attention to detail. 

​The ideal time for island hopping is from late May to September, with July and August being the peak season. If you prefer fewer crowds, opt for late May, June, or September. The beginning of the season from May can be an ideal time to disappear into the background of the island, as is the end of the season when tourism is slowing down. One of the benefits with the end of the season being the temperature has dropped, yet the sea is at its prime temperature for swimming. July and August are the months when the parties happening, crowds of people and the heat is really on! 

​These islands feature a vast of attraction, from medieval architecture, pristine beaches, and fewer crowds compared to the Cyclades. And if you want to totally avoid the crowd, you always have the opertunities to take a short drive or tip to a secluded beach or a smaller town and explore. One of the benefits of island life being a more easy sense of living, no heavy industry which generates a sense of calm and also a vastly cleaner sea and landscape. 

​There is no time thats better or worse to island hop Greece. It’s just down to ones general preference to tailor that perfection the Mediterranean offers. Altho the winter will be vastly quieter and many options will have closed, this can be the best time for seclusion, and personal I find these months from October to January being the most beautiful, with the vegetation rich, the beach’s empty yet the sea still warm to swim for hours along the coast line. This can also be the finest time to walk and hike, optimising excessive and generating positive feeling.
