While rugged mountains and deep valleys seal off the northern borders, in the south the land breaks into 1,425 islands, each more spectacular than the next. These islands make up about 1/4 of the total land area. Of these islands only 169 are inhabited. Greece has 78 islands connected by regular Ferry, Hydrofoil or the New Super Fast Ferry boat service, with another 40-odd islets visited by tour or beach boats. The remaining 48 inhabited islands being occupied by monks, goatherds, or the occasional Greek Shipping billionaire.

The mix of history and geography is different on every island, as if hand crafted by the Ancient of Gods of Olympus themselves. The problem with the Greek islands is deciding where to go and how long to stay. Although very tempting to go during the peak season of July and August, it is best to travel in the period before or after to avoid the crowds, the tremendous heat and inflated prices. However, if your soul thirsts to discover the passion of the Greek, then maybe it is best to join the party in the heart of the summer!
