4Greek Island Beaches vs. Italian Coastal Culture

Greece dominates when it comes to beaches. Think Milos’ lunar landscapes, Zakynthos’ towering cliffs, and Crete’s pink-sand shores. The water clarity alone earns Greece a top bucket list spot.

Italy’s coastline, however, is about lifestyle. Beach clubs with striped umbrellas, Aperol spritzes, stylish locals, and elegant promenades give Italy an irresistible flair. You may not find as many untouched beaches, but you will find atmosphere and culture.

The Greek beach experience is natural and wild. The Italian one is curated, stylish, and social. Each offers a bucket list moment in its own way.
