Explore the flip side of the greek islands

Can you find yourself on a deserted beach in Mykonos during high season? Follow the sunset in Santorini without hundreds of mobile phones flashing around you? While typical visitors are looking for the most famous sights on the islands, there are some who wish to explore their flip side. Do you want to visit the islands like a Greek?
The first step is to book cheap ferry tickets through Let's Ferry to your favorite destination.

Beautiful scenery in Santorini island

Mykonos
Discover its quiet, peaceful beaches.
Kapari: Its difficult access has protected it from the crowds. Unorganized, with fraudulent sand and at a distance of 6 km from the port. To enjoy it, you have to leave the car a few meters before you reach your destination, and cross a rough path that takes you through a few rocks. The view to Delos and the quiet sunset will be your reward!

Merchia: If we simply showed you a picture of this beach without letting you in on its location, you'd certainly not guess that it is in Mykonos. This is what makes it so special. No tourist infrastructure, deep waters and fine sand welcome you in this eerie, however lovely landscape. As an added bonus to your visit comes the neighboring beach of Tragomantra, another well-kept secret of the island.
Fragia: Few people know of its existence since, until recently, it was privately owned. It is sandy and has no shops, sunbeds or umbrellas. To get here you have to leave the car and walk on a fairly accessible path. It is located 15 km away from the port, right as you leave the beaches of Lia and Tsagaris behind you.

Paros
Truth is that Paros can hold its own, no matter what kind of visitor steps foot on the island. Once you make up your mind to steer away from the crowds, even during high season, you will discover some corners that are worth your time and will give you even more reasons to love the island.

Sandy beach with crystal waters

Spa on Kalogeros beach: Near the village of Marpissa you will find a secluded beach, rich in clay. Take a dip and indulge in some refreshing clay therapy. It is sandy and surrounded by high rocks.
Lefkes: If you want to have your afternoon coffee accompanied by a delicious dessert, visit this fairytale village. It is located at the highest spot of Paros, the greenest part of the island. The houses here are very well preserved and the main pedestrian street called Ramnos is busting with off the track visitors and locals every day.

Rhodes
Enjoying the beautiful beaches of Rhodes can be a secluded and private affair!
Ladiko: Emerald waters in a quiet creek covered in sand. What more can you ask for? Ladiko is an organised beach located very close to the noisy Faliraki and it is anything but its wild neighbor.
Mavros Kavos: A Rhodians favorite with a completely natural setting filled with cedars and dunes.
After your swim, visit the Rhodes Aquarium at the northern tip of the island, that feels like an underwater cave.

Crystal waters and sandy beach

Santorini
If you could browse at the island from above, you would see crowds of people gathering at the Castle of Oia from as early as 6 o'clock in the afternoon, in order to admire what is famed to be the best sunset of the Aegean. It is so popular that if you come just a bit later you'll miss the chance to take the coveted photo that will be your prized memory! Don't worry, act like a local and ask the islanders for the two alternative points where you can watch the waters of ​​Santorini as they are slowly bathed in deep orange hues!

Rocky landscape with the view of the sea

Pyrgos: The highest point of the island is an impressive medieval settlement that was once was the capital of the island. Go to the Monastery of the Prophet Elias which is one of the oldest buildings on the island dating back to the 10th century. It is only 5 km from the port.
Finikia: Colorful caves, narrow alleys, bougainvillea and prickly pear bushes welcome you in a traditional settlement very close to Oia. In the courtyard of Panagia Matrona you will have the chance to watch day making way for night, almost in private.
