Go island hopping this summer

Combine lazy days on the beach with excursions and cosy taverna-moments. Greece is an excellent country for island hopping and it's easy to get around.
Tzatziki, moussaka, souvlaki and salads with lots of feta cheese. The greek cuisine alone, is reason enough to visit Greece. Add clear blue waters and lovely beaches and your holiday is perfect!
How to arrange your island hopping
The best thing is to book a flight to an appropriate starting point and accommodation for the first one or two nights. Also, do some research before you go – different islands have different characteristics – some are classic party islands and some are tranquil and perfect for relaxation. Add some islands on your "to see"-list, but not too many (you don't want your holiday to end up in an island-race). Leave a blank day in the schedule before departure, in case of canceled boats or any other unexpected events.
Where to stay
There's no need to plan too much before you leave – it's normally very easy to arrange accommodation as you go along. You will be given various offers about rooms to rent in each harbour. The islands might get crowded in peak season, (July and the beginning of August) pre-booking your accommodation during this time is a good idea. Ask other backpackers for recommendations. The rates are varying from around 15-35 euros for a double room, depending on the season.
Where to go
There are enough islands in Greece to suit everyone and there are several different groups of islands to choose between. Here are two options:
The Cyclades – classic waters for island hopping
Santorini, Ios, Naxos, Paros, Mykonos... The Cyclades is a varying group of island with a little something for everyone. No matter if your after the late night clubbing or relaxation – you can get it all here!
Santorini has got good communications and is a good starting-point.
The Sporades – trendy islands for beginners
The Sporades gained popularity with people all over Europe last summer – a lot thanks to Mama Mia the movie. Islands like Skiathos, Skopelos and Skyros are part of this beautiful little group of islands. A combination of Skiathos and Skopelos is really easy to arrange – perfect for rookies.
