Choosing a quiet holiday destination can be very tricky. However, with approximately 6000 islands and islets, finding peace and privacy in Greece shouldn’t be a challenge! Of course, no one wants to be Tom Hanks in Cast Away, so we’re here to help out narrowing down the 3 best quiet destinations in Greek Islands. Grab your friends / partner / family or if you’re a solo traveler, just grab your volleyball, and let the adventure begin!
Just an hour boat ride from popular Santorini, uncrowded and selfie-stick free Folegandros is the place to be if you want to enjoy a peaceful, stress-free vacation overlooking the rugged landscapes! This tiny and untouched gem of Folegandros is by far the quietest and undisturbed Greek Island. Although Santorini holds the crown of top-notch sunsets, the alternative Folegandros offers a breathtaking sunset experience from the top of Panagia Church. If you don’t want to miss out, strap your hiking boots on, grab a bottle of wine (don’t forget some water!) and set off for a challenging, yet rewarding two-hour trip up to the mountain in the evening. You’ll be thrilled at how the light and sun-kissed water interact with each other, changing colours while you get the feeling of a soft breeze! Can we go there, now?!
As we continue island hopping our next destination is island of Milos. Milos combines everything you ever dreamt of. For an island so relatively small, Milos’ breathtaking landscapes, pristine waters and volcanic white shores with hidden caves will guarantee that you’ll be begging to go back! This hidden gem of the Aegean Sea is the place to sit back and relax on its sandy beaches. Known worldwide for the discovery of the Venus de Milo statue, which now holds court at the Louvre Museum in Paris, Milos remains a unique and unspoiled destination, ready to be explored. Oh! Don’t forget to pack your camera; known as the “Island of colours”, Milos has distinctive geology with pink, red and orange volcanic rocks forming more than 70 beaches, making Milos one of the most picturesque islands of Greece.
Here we go again! Yes. You guessed it. This is the island of “Mamma Mia!” and it’s an absolute little green and blue paradise! If you want to escape the crowds, enjoy azure waters with unique natural beauty and fill your stomachs at family-run taverns, then the laidback island of Skopelos is ideal for you. Moreover, if you have a weakness for watersports, Skopelos is a great destination for snorkeling, diving, kayaking or paddle-boarding, open for most ages. The only drawback of the island: you singing the “Mamma Mia!” soundtracks 24/7!
