The Aegean Islands - At a Glance
The organized, crowded beaches and endless fun, characterize many of the popular destinations. There are, of course, small terrestrial paradises that are still far from mass tourism and are a challenge for those who choose a quiet holiday. Characteristic of all the Aegean islands is the crystal clear sea, the beautiful and unique beaches and the idyllic scenery. Religious monuments, archaeological sites, towers and famous castles on many Aegean islands are of great interest. The Aegean islands, with excellent infrastructure, covering the modern concept of tourism, have consistently held an important place on the Greek tourist map.
