Greek islands
“I’ve been to the <anchor>Greek islands</anchor> a couple of times. But instead of feeling like I’ve checked the destination off my list, each visit has made me want to return. So an all-out trip hopping around a handful of the 200 inhabited islands off the mainland is a dream getaway. I’d visit Sifnos for the big Greek feasts, Hydra for the arty scene, Milos for the beaches and Skopelos for a glimpse of the Mamma Mia! church teetering above the sea. I’ve had ferries to Amorgos bookmarked on my computer since I read the Condé Nast Traveller article about this further-flung spot where the locals are outnumbered by goats. And while I’ve already been lucky enough to visit Santorini, I’m desperate to return – to try the island’s wine, jump from rocky outcrops into the deep-blue Aegean and to stay at the incredibly beautiful Perivolas hotel, a smart stay set among a cluster of cliffside houses.”
