Greek island
Mediterranean vacation destination
A Greek island is any of the approximately 6,000 islands and islets scattered throughout the Aegean, Ionian, and Mediterranean seas that belong to Greece.
About 200 are inhabited, ranging from major tourist destinations like Crete, Santorini, and Mykonos to tiny outposts with only a handful of residents.
The phrase evokes images of whitewashed buildings, blue-domed churches, and Mediterranean coastlines.
We're spending two weeks hopping around the Greek islands.
