The 7 Most Beautiful Greek Islands

Famous for its dramatic caldera, Santorini is arguably the most iconic Greek island. Its whitewashed buildings with blue domes, perched precariously on volcanic cliffs, create a picture-perfect view that has become a symbol of Greece itself.

Oia and Fira are the island’s most renowned villages, offering breathtaking sunsets, boutique shops, and romantic dining experiences overlooking the Aegean. For a quieter experience, head to Pyrgos, a charming village with fewer crowds and panoramic views. Don’t miss the black sand beaches of Kamari and Perissa or the fascinating archaeological site of Akrotiri, often called the “Pompeii of the Aegean.”
