Greece has always been an ideal Mediterranean vacation destination.  With over 1,400 islands (230 inhabited), it can be hard to choose which one to visit first.  Hopefully, these eight guidelines will assist with your decision.

Best traditional village life:  The island, Naxos is the largest of the Cyclades and has a little over 6,500 inhabitants and a bit over 20 small villages.  Naxos has ancient towers, paved streets and has maintained its unique Venetian architecture.

Best nightlife:  Mykonos, also known as ‘The Island of the Winds’, is world renowned for their vibrant nightlife.  Little Venice and Paradise Beach are popular party destinations where clothing is optional, and the LGBT scene is major.  There are male go-go dancers everywhere and parties typically last all night.  July and August are the main months for tourism and the wildest parties.

Best kiteboarding and windsurfing: With gusty winds that can be seen from a mile away; Paros island is best known for kiteboarding and windsurfing sports goers.  Santa Maria, Prassonisi, and Pounda are the main beaches where the sport is practiced.  The Thalasea Sports Center is the bay of Mikli Vigla and is a popular hub for the sport.
​

Best beaches: Located in the Aegan Sea, Milos is a beautiful volcanic island that is rich in minerals as well as rich history.  Firopotamos, Kastanas and Paliorema are some top beach destinations in Milos.  The white-washed Cycladic villages and black sands are picturesque backdrops.  Although some may be only accessible by boat, there are over 80 mini beaches throughout Milos that you can explore.
​
​
Best for nature lovers: Ikaria has some of the World’s most pristine and untouched nature territories. It has been identified as a place that promotes life longevity and better overall health. 

Best couples getaway: Folegandros does not get the crowded tourist scene as most Greek towns do.  They have a broad selection of restaurants and cafes.  Chora is the main village and has been preserved well, noting open landscapes and clifftop housing.

Best Robinson Crusoe destination: Koufonisia is comprised of two islands, Pano (upper) and Kato (lower).  The preferred way to navigate the area is by foot or cycling as everything is within walking distance.  The island has a museum and many sightseeing options.

Best food: Cretan cuisine focuses on all-natural ingredients and can be enjoyed at any local tavern throughout the islands.  Some dishes include Dakos, Gamopilafo, Mizithropita and Apaki.
