Greece has borders with the Lonian, Mediterranean and Aegean seas, which makes it an enormously popular holiday destination with beach lovers of all sorts, from families, groups looking to party and couples seeking out romantic seafronts and secluded shores.
The Greek islands are grouped into clusters depending on location – the North Aegean and the Ionian Islands, for example – and Crete is the largest island of all. Island hopping in this area is popular, as ferries between islands are frequent and there are many different locations to visit, from vibrant Rhodes to quiet Folegandros.
