Amorgos: amidst mountains and coves<\/h3>\n

Lying at the gateway to Turkey, this mountainous, volcanic island is a paradise for hikers and ramblers, and is much loved for its jaw-dropping views over the sea and nearby coves.

Chora<\/strong>, the island\u2019s largest town, offers ample opportunity to sample the local cuisine. Situated 200 metres above sea level, this typical Cyclades village is a sight to behold with its bustling little streets and whitewashed houses.<\/p>\n

To the east of the Cyclades, the\u00a0<\/span>Dodecanese islands<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>brush shoulders with Turkey. Welcome to Europe\u2019s warmest and sunniest region! Its name means \u201812 islands\u2019 in Greek, but in reality, the\u00a0<\/span>Dodecanese archipelago<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>is a constellation\u00a0<\/span>of over 160 islands<\/strong>, most of which are uninhabited.<\/p>\n
The mystical island of\u00a0<\/span>Patmos\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>is home to the\u00a0<\/span>Cave of the Apocalypse<\/strong>, the\u00a0<\/span>fortified monastery of St\u00a0John\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>and the village of\u00a0<\/span>Chora,\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>all of which are listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites.<\/p>\n

This scared island is distant and difficult to get to, with tight property regulations that help preserve its unspoilt charm.<\/p>\n

Situated close to Athens, the\u00a0<\/span>Saronic islands<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>enjoy an incredibly relaxed pace of life and make an ideal day trip for visitors from the capital.<\/p>\n
The archipelago features six islands, with Hydra the jewel in its crown. This peaceful island has been a firm favourite with artists since the 1960s, with visitors including Leonard Cohen, Greta Garbo and Henry Fonda. Cars are banned on the\u00a0<\/span>island of Hydra<\/strong>, resulting in an incredibly tranquil and relaxing atmosphere. Island life is centred around its enchanting port, which is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful in all of Greece. Whitewashed and fortified houses perch across the island\u2019s heights.<\/p>\n
History and art enthusiasts will enjoy visiting the island\u2019s museums, which include the Lazaros Koundouriotis Historical Mansion, the Byzantine Museum and the Historical Archives Museum. Once you\u2019ve had your culture fix, the beaches and crystal-clear waters promise a welcome dose of relaxation.<\/p>\n
