The Aegean Islands, frequently called the North or Northeast Aegean islands are a loose assortment of twelve islands situated to the north of the Aegean Sea and just off the Turkish mainland. The best recognized are Thassos, Lesvos and Samos but others consist of Lemnos, Ikaria, and Samothrace.

Many of the north Aegean islands are large, some range apart and with sporadic ferry connections so phoning them a group is a small deceptive and they are only really connected for Greek administrative purposes.

They may be a small off the main tourist trail but they are still well created with Samos and Lesvos the top holiday spots, thanks to good airports, but closely followed these days by Thassos which has airport links are neighborhood Kavala on the mainland.

Tough Ikaria and kidney-shaped Chios are off the bundle tourist map but offer very good beaches and great walking while both Lemnos (or Limnos) and Samothraki remain mostly untouched by tourism.

The Greek Islands consist of more than 6,000 island destinations and islets addressing much of the eastern Mediterranean. Only about 230 Greek islands are inhabited and, of these, just 80 or so have more than 100 long term occupants.

The Greek islands are traditionally arranged into 6 major clusters:

Ionian: Found off the north-west coast of mainland Greece in the Ionian Sea these contain the popular holiday islands of Corfu, Kefalonia and Zante.

Saronic: These lie in the Saronic beach near Athens and the main island destinations here are Aegina and Poros.

Sporades: A little, tightly-knit island group just off the east coast of Greece that consist of Skiathos and Skopelos.

Cyclades: A big, dense group of islands in the main Aegean Sea that consist of the well-liked holiday islands of Mykonos and Santorini.

Dodecanese: A long and loose chain of islands that follow the Turkish coast and consist of the popular holiday beaches on Kos and Rhodes.

North Aegean: A loose island team to the north-east of Greece. The main holiday locations here are Thassos, Lesvos and Samos.

Every island group has its own flavour and each island within a group has its own personality. The Ionian, for example is characterised by lush greenery, the Cyclades are ‘typical’ Greek islands of whitewashed cube houses on windy, rugged outcrops; the Dodecanese, close to the Turkish mainland, are the most popular, particularly in the south.
