Aegean Islands Travel Guide

The four islands covered in this guide—Samos, Hios, Lesvos (Mitilin), and Limnos—are dispersed along the coast of Turkey, and far removed from the Greek mainland and Greece's other Aegean islands. This remoteness has its advantages: Unlike other areas of Greece, most parts of these islands remain relatively untouched by tourism. The crowds here tend to be concentrated in a few resorts, leaving the vast interior and much of the coast open to exploration. Along the coastline, you'll find some of the finest beaches in the Aegean, and within the interior richly forested valleys, precipitous mountain slopes, and exquisite mountain villages. These agricultural islands produce olives, grapes, and honey in abundance, providing the basis for excellent local cuisine. Read More
