Which Greek island to visit in 2025

Although we made an effort to narrow down our options, truth is that we didn't want to leave anything behind. So, we present you the top 15 summer destinations for 2025. 

Which Greek islands are best for couples?

Greek summers are filled with beaches, romantic sunsets, and vibrant nightlife. The following islands offer a cosmopolitan vibe while capturing the essence of the Greek summer. 

Without a doubt, you should add Mykonos to your summer plans if you love partying from dusk till dawn. On the contrary, if you are in a more romantic mood we suggest you take the ferry to Santorini to stroll around the island’s cobblestone streets and take in the most breathtaking sunset.

We suggest Hydra, Spetses, and Paxi if you prefer a slightly more regal setting. More precisely, Spetses is a charming island because of its stunning natural setting, while Hydra is one of those islands that seems like it belongs in an old Greek movie. 

The Ionian Islands are a good choice for those who wish to combine the evergreen landscape and the lacy coastline with the vibrant nightlife. If you want to limit your options we recommend taking the ferry from  Igoumenitsa port to Paxi, where you can swim in the pristine waters, enjoy the nightlife and gaze at the impressive yachts.

Which Greek islands are best for solo travelers?

We go on with our list with some islands which are perfect for solo travelers as well as for those who want their vacations to be quiet and peaceful.

Ikaria is an island in the North Aegean that is a well known destination for anyone looking to escape the crowds and enjoy some free time while exploring a pristine island.

Likewise, a trip to the Cyclades is a must. Hop on the ferry to the charming Donoussa and the serene Serifos, where you can explore untouched beaches and take in the Cycladic architecture.

If you have more days at your disposal you can organize your next ferry trip to the Dodecanese, specifically to Karpathos, to explore the more traditional villages.

Agistri is always a fantastic choice for individuals seeking something closer. The islands in the Argosaronic Gulf are great for quick escapes from the port of Piraeus, so put them on your list for the next time you want to take a break from the daily grind. 

Which Greek islands are best for foodies?

When in research for your next Greek island destination remember to check on the local cuisine. The below islands will not let you down if you enjoy good food and are constantly looking for regional flavors.

We've talked about the must-try dishes in Crete before. However, we could go on and on about Cretan food. Fresh ingredients, simple recipes and mouth-watering flavors. All we can say about Crete is that it only takes one taste to fall in love with it.

It is impossible to leave the Cyclades out of any category. And since good food always goes well with good wine you can travel to Tinos and Syros for wine tourism. Alternatively, book your ferry tickets to Sifnos to try vegan and vegetarian-friendly dishes.

Lesvos is the place to go if you want to taste authentic Asia Minor cheeses. Just keep in mind to make room for traditional spoon sweets while you're enjoying your savory dishes.
