The Greek islands that feel like Mediterranean paradise, but many travelers may not know

Traveling alone to the Greek islands may initially sound like a lonely holiday. In reality, the opposite can happen, especially on the smaller islands, where it is easier to take time for yourself.

Santorini and Mykonos are Greece’s best-known islands, but they may not be the most comfortable choices for solo travelers. They attract more visitors, cost more and, in summer, can mean spending much of the holiday among other tourists.
