Hotels in Greek Islands, Greece

The Greek Islands are a scattered collection in the Aegean and Ionian Seas, with a Mediterranean climate that brings hot, dry summers (July averages 90°F/32°C) and mild, wet winters (January around 50°F/10°C). Famous for ancient sites like the Palace of Knossos in Crete and volcanic landscapes of Santorini, you can sail between the Cyclades islands in summer or explore historic Rhodes Town's cobblestone streets in winter when prices drop. Distinctive areas include the party-centric Mykonos with its Aegean beaches and the quieter, nature-focused Ionian islands like Corfu with olive groves and turquoise coves.
