This will enable you to make the most of your time in this part of the world and see far more of this beautiful country than you would have done otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>Each cluster has its own characteristics, as do the islands within the various groups. Travelling around them allows you to experience each side, from the rich history to the sun-drenched coastlines and everything in between.<\/p>\n<p>There are, however, around 6,000 islands and islets across the Aegean and Ionian Seas. Of these, only around 230 are inhabited and only 80 have a significant number of inhabitants. But, with so many to choose from, how do you know where to start \u2013 let alone what route to take?<\/p>\n<h2>How do you move between Greek islands?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have two options when it comes to travelling between the islands, by air or by sea: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Ferry:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the most popular way to get around. You<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> buy your ticket the day before \u00a0your departure but you may want to book in advance to ensure you definitely have a seat \u2013 especially in high season. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are travelling through the night you also have the option to stay in a cabin. The easiest time to travel between the islands is June to September, although you might find that there are limited ferries if you are travelling to the more remote islands.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Top tip:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Don\u2019t just see the ferries as transport to take you from one island to the other. Make sure you enjoy the journey because these trips are all part of the experience. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From here you can admire wonderful, uninterrupted views of the coastline and out to sea. Most ferries will have seats indoors and outdoors \u2013 the best views are often outside on the top deck.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Speed boat:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You\u2019ll have the opportunity to travel by hydrofoil or catamaran between many of the islands. This will significantly reduce the time between destinations, but prices may be slightly higher. It\u2019s best to book in advance as spaces are limited.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Plane:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Flying between islands will save you a few hours in travel time and they tend to be more readily available. It is, however, worth taking the cost into account, especially if you\u2019re travelling on a budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Yacht:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You also have the option to rent a yacht on your holiday to Greece. This will save you having to organise accommodation, enable you to visit smaller, lesser-known islands and move around at your own pace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Top tip: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be aware that if you are visiting in low season, you might find you have less flexibility while travelling around \u2013 especially when it comes to ferries.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/greece\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4093\" src=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Greece-Holiday-Deals.jpg\" alt=\"Greece holiday deals\" width=\"580\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Greece-Holiday-Deals.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Greece-Holiday-Deals-300x109.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Greece-Holiday-Deals-310x112.jpg 310w, https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Greece-Holiday-Deals-370x134.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2>Greek island hopping routes<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Colorful-Assos-with-beautiful-bay-on-Kefalonia-island-Greece.jpg\" alt=\"The shimmering waters of Assos Bay in Kefalonia Greece\" width=\"580\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Colorful-Assos-with-beautiful-bay-on-Kefalonia-island-Greece.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Colorful-Assos-with-beautiful-bay-on-Kefalonia-island-Greece-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Colorful-Assos-with-beautiful-bay-on-Kefalonia-island-Greece-310x206.jpg 310w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several groups of islands, although you might want to pick just one to make it easier to travel around and to save time. There are six to choose from &#8211;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Cyclades: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Situated in the Aegean Sea, this is the largest cluster of islands.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also the most popular and home to many of the country\u2019s most recognisable destinations. If you\u2019re flying straight here head for Mykonos, which is at the heart of this group, or Santorini, on the ferry route between Athens and Crete. It is easy to hop over to most of the islands from Paros or Naxos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This includes:<\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/greece\/mykonos\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mykonos<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Tinos, Naxos, Paros, Antiparos,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/greece\/santorini\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Santorini<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Sifnos, Syros, Milos, Amorgos and Folegandros.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>North Aegean:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This group of islands can be found to the north east of Greece. They are situated in the Aegean Sea and are fairly spread out, making your travel time slightly longer. It is easy to reach Thassos from the mainland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This includes:<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Thassos, Chios, Lesvos, Lemnos and Samos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Dodecanese:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These islands are in a long line, effectively following Turkey\u2019s coastline in the southeastern Aegean. There are good connections to many islands, including Crete. It is also possible to visit Turkey from here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This includes:<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Patmos, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/greece\/kos\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kos<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/greece\/rhodes\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rhodes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Symi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Ionian:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As the name would suggest, these islands can be found in the Ionian Sea, off the north west coast of Greece. This is another very popular cluster of islands and is comprised of some well-known holiday destinations. These islands are close together but you\u2019ll find there are fewer ferries and not as many direct routes. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This includes:<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Kefalonia, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/greece\/corfu\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Corfu<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/greece\/zante\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zante<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Sporades:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This fairly small cluster is the least visited. You can discover these islands just off the east coast of Greece, with hydrofoil and ferry services between the three main islands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This includes:<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonissos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Saronic:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You\u2019ll find these islands in the Saronic Gulf, near Athens \u2013 they are actually the closest of all the clusters to the capital. There are frequent daily ferries, especially to Aegina. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This includes:<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Hydra, Spetses, Poros and Aegina.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might be wondering where<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/greece\/crete\">Crete<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is? This is the largest island and therefore doesn\u2019t come under any of the clusters but is an island in its own right. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Top Tip:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Don\u2019t try and squeeze too much in. While it is great to visit several islands, you want to actually be able to experience them. Not allowing enough time in each destination means you might not get much further than the port.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Which island should you start with?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-485\" src=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Parthenon-temple-on-the-Acropolis-in-Athens-Greece.jpg\" alt=\"The famous Parthenon Temple in Athens Acropolis Greece.\" width=\"580\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Parthenon-temple-on-the-Acropolis-in-Athens-Greece.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Parthenon-temple-on-the-Acropolis-in-Athens-Greece-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Parthenon-temple-on-the-Acropolis-in-Athens-Greece-310x206.jpg 310w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Athens isn\u2019t your only option but it is a good starting point, no matter how you choose to travel. There are daily flights in and out of the capital and hundreds of ferries will start and finish here everyday. You\u2019ll find three seaports in Athens, including Piraeus (the largest in the country), Lavrio and Rafina.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Saronic islands are closest to the capital and will take between 45 minutes and 3.5 hours to reach by boat.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Cycladic, Ionian and Sporades are slightly further away \u2013 it\u2019ll take between 3 to 6 hours to get here.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crete, Dodecanese and the North Aegean will take anywhere from 8 to 16 hours. They are the furthest away from Athens.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p><b>Top Tip:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you are taking the ferry to one of the further islands, why not board in the afternoon and sleep in a cabin through the night? That way, you wake up in the morning without wasting any precious holiday time, ready to explore.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Greek island hopping tips:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is easy to visit both Mykonos and Santorini \u2013 you\u2019ll find direct ferry connections between the two.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paros can be found halfway between Mykonos and Santorini and is close to Naxos. You can visit any of these for a day trip if you wish.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p><b>Carole Robinson: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From Piraeus, Athens, the ferry goes on a hop via Naxos, Mykonos, Paros, Ios, Santorini, then Crete. We just hopped on and off. If we liked the place, we stayed longer, if not, we just went on to the next island. We got accommodation on arrival.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is simple to hop over to Crete directly from the Aegean Islands without the need to go back to Piraeus. You can also get the ferry from Crete to the Cyclades and Dodecanese.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Aegean, start on Syros before heading to Tinos, Mykonos, Kos, Leros, Patmos, Rhodes, Santorini and Anafi. Alternatively, begin on Naxos and travel to Paros, Santorini, Amorgos, the Lesser Cyclades, Astypalaia, Ios and Folegandros.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you visit Rhodes make sure you hop over to Symi.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p><b>Clare Hanchet: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can get a boat to Lindos from Rhodes town for the day. There are donkeys which take you up to the Acropolis or you can walk up there \u2013 it sits at the top of the village and the views are amazing! You can also get a boat from Rhodes to Symi or pop over to Turkey, so it\u2019s a really good place to stop if you\u2019re island hopping or to use as a base to visit other places. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are lots of beautiful beaches. At the main beach in Lindos you can water ski, snorkel, go for all-day fishing trips, use the inflatables, or hire pedalos and boats. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are also loads of amazing restaurants and bars. My favourite restaurant is run by the Mavriko family and is called Mavrikos. Michali is front of house and Dimitri, his brother, is in the kitchen. They\u2019ve won awards and have been featured in The New York Times. The food is unreal and it\u2019s a beautiful place. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I love Yannis bar \u2013 my mum actually opened it with Yanni in 1976! Also Socrates, which is a bar in an old Lindian house. There are several clubs like Arches, which is open-air, and Amphitheatre, which is at the top of the village and has a view of the whole place and the Acropolis. They often have huge parties and famous DJs. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Plan your trip:<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-486\" src=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/The-stunning-Corfu-coast-featuring-luxury-boats.jpg\" alt=\"Palm tree-lined coast of Corfu in Greece\" width=\"580\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/The-stunning-Corfu-coast-featuring-luxury-boats.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/The-stunning-Corfu-coast-featuring-luxury-boats-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.broadwaytravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/The-stunning-Corfu-coast-featuring-luxury-boats-310x206.jpg 310w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Firstly:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You may already have some islands in mind but start by researching them so you know what each one has to offer. From there you can create a list of the ones you really want to visit. Knowing what you want to see and do while you\u2019re there will help you determine how long you \u00a0stay on each island. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Secondly:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Take a look at them on a map \u2013 is it feasible? Are they within the same cluster? Visit islands that are relatively close or you\u2019ll spend the majority of your time travelling \u2013 which defeats the point.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Top Tip:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pack light, especially if you will be moving around a lot. If you\u2019re on and off ferries it may l be easier to take a large backpack rather than a suitcase.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><b>Thirdly:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> While it might look feasible on the map, you need to double check that it is physically possible. Are you able to get a boat between these islands? You might find that it is easier \u2013 or you can only \u2013 travel to an island that looks a little further away due to the ferry schedules. You also need to consider where you\u2019re flying in and out of to ensure your plans tie in with this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Finally:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Now you know the islands you want to go to, have checked which cluster they are in and confirmed you can travel between them, you need to map out your route.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Island hopping requires careful planning to make sure you get all your timings right. However, you may also want to wing it and book everything as you go. This gives you more freedom but may mean you have to research as you move around. Whether you book in advance or not, it is worth knowing where the boat departs from, how often and at what time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As well as making a plan for travelling around, you also need to consider where you are going to stay \u2013 it is advisable to pre-book, especially if you are heading there in high season. Equally, you should decide what you would like to see and do while you\u2019re on each island. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may only have a short amount of time in each place so you want to make the most of it. Consider hiring a car or scooter, particularly on the more sizeable islands such as Crete, so you can see as much of it as possible. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Georgina Linstead: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Island hopping via ferries is quick, easy and cheap. We flew into Athens and got our first ferry from there. We then camped on many of the islands \u2013 you don\u2019t tend to need a tent as you can rent them at the site. However, on one island we turned up assuming this was the case and only discovered it wasn\u2019t after finding out they had gone to buy us one \u2013 they even offered to let us keep it when we left! This is a prime example of how lovely and friendly the people in Greece are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We went to Santorini and stayed in a family-run guest house \u2013 they took us around the island, enabling us to see the less touristy side. This included some of the beaches that are \u2018hidden\u2019 to all but the locals, as you need to know where they are and have a car to get to them. They were beautiful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also went to Mykonos, which is known as the party island.
