2. Crete (1:29)

Crete is another one of Greece’s most popular islands, and for good reason.

At over 95 kilometres wide, Crete is the countries largest island, so it’s no surprise that there is a lot to do here.

3. Corfu (2:26)

A Lush interior, pristine coastline, unique rock formations and a romantic capital city make this one of the most breathtaking islands in the Archipelago.

I recommend renting a boat while you’re in Corfu. It will cost you around €80 per day plus gas, but you don’t need a boat license and you can rip around to different hidden coves and bays to have a slice of paradise to yourself.

Number 4 on this list of the best places to visit in Greece is Zakynthos.
