Fine white sand, azure waters and sun lounges that stretch as far as the eye can see- this is what you can expect when exploring the beaches of the Greek Islands.
Whilst a lot of the Eastern European and Mediterranean coastline is lined with pebbled beaches, those that are used to sand between their toes will feel at home in the Greek Islands.
With thousands of stunning beaches dotted along the coastline of the Greek Islands, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when choosing the perfect beach to laze about on your Mediterranean holiday!

Mylopotas Beach — Ios
