Top 10 Greek Islands Where Locals Go on Holiday

Chios remains one of Greece’s most authentic and least touristy islands. Famous for its mastiha (a unique tree resin), Chios is dotted with medieval villages like Pyrgi and Mesta, each with distinctive architecture. 

Greek locals appreciate the untouched beauty of its beaches, the fascinating history, and the welcoming atmosphere. Karfas, Komi, and Agia Dynami are local beach favorites, while the island’s culinary scene is rooted deeply in tradition.
