Mykonos
#7 in Best Greek Islands
If you’re looking for a more raucous Greek vacation, opt for Mykonos. When you’re not dancing the night away at one of the island’s many clubs, you can relax with a cocktail as you admire the Aegean Sea. Other Mykonos must-dos include trying its delicious seafood and admiring its whitewashed architecture. Keep in mind that this popular island does not come cheap – especially during the peak summer season. To see Mykonos without rubbing elbows with hordes of tourists and paying more for flights and accommodations, visit during the shoulder seasons in spring and fall.
Skopelos
#8 in Best Greek Islands
Whether you enjoy watching movies or spending time outdoors, chances are you’ll love visiting Skopelos. Greece’s greenest island is where the movie «Mamma Mia!» was filmed. In addition to featuring Agios Ioannis (the church where the movie’s characters Sophie Sheridan and Sky Ramand get married), Skopelos is home to pine forests, vineyards, orchards and olive groves. Plus, it offers several beautiful stretches of sand, including pebbly Panormos, a prime spot to catch one of Greece’s famous sunsets. Since Skopelos only has two main roads, plan on getting around on foot or by bike.
