Ikaria
Students and young couples love this island that holds a long music tradition. Every year the famous Ikarian festivals attract numerous Greeks and foreigners who dance, drink local red wine and try the local mouthwatering dishes at low prices. The annual rock festival is a popular event with free entrance. The most exotic beach is Seychelles, but you can find some other well-organized beaches too, for free. If you are after some long, relaxing walks, head to the hills and their green paths.

Limnos
Limnos is an island that attracts more and more visitors every year due to the low prices of accommodation. You can spend a few nights strolling around Myrina, the island's main town, and its atmospheric castle. Discover your favorite spot to taste local treats like melihloro, a local cheese, which matches perfectly with the local Muscat wine. If you are in an exploration mood, there is the Filoktitis Cave and, believe it or not, a Limnian version of “Sahara Desert” (sand hills far away from the sea, a unique natural phenomenon). “The island of Hephaestus” brings you closer to nature and you can visit it easily by booking cheap ferry tickets to Limnos at letsferry.com.

Kythira
Between Aegean and Ionian Sea, very close to the mainland, it boasts countless beaches, castles and pineforests. Kythira is ideal if you like your beaches paired with affordable Greek cuisine and low-cost accommodation. Kapsali is the capital of the island and has enough facilities to fill every day of your staying. Mylopotamos is an interesting option for those who want to meditate under green plane trees. You should also plan a daily trip to Antikythira. Travel to the perfect couples-island with low-cost ferry tickets to Kythira at Let's Ferry.

Iraklia
The exotic alternative to the touristy and costly Koufonissia. A tiny paradise that shares the same exotic blue color with the rest of the islands in Small Cyclades. The island remains unspoiled and the only things that remind of tourism are some small guest rooms and a few fish taverns. The entire island is under the protection of Natura 2000 and is home for many wild and rare bird species. Beaches like Karvounolakos, Alimia, Livadi, Tourkopigado and Ksylompatis will travel you to the Greek Maldives. For all available routes and low-cost ferry tickets to Iraklia visit letsferry.com. The island is connected with Piraeus, Amorgos, Donoussa, Schinoussa, Koufonissi, Paros and Syros.

Anafi
The relaxed lifestyle of the island, the secluded beaches and the special Aegean architecture are only some of the reasons why people love this island. On top of all that, prices for renting a room or eating fresh fish are surprising low. Roukounas will travel you back to times when beaches were still sunbeds-free. Katsouni is the perfect place to bare yourself and dive into serenity. Sailing around the island on a fishing boat is highly recommended since there are many unreachable beaches by car or on foot. There are many available routes from Lavrio and Piraeus to Anafi and it's connected with many Cycladic islands like Santorini, which is just 90 minutes away. See all available routes and book low-cost ferry tickets to Anafi through Let's Ferry.

Chios
Mastic, also known as the tears of Chios, is a resin obtained from the mastic trees traditionally produced in Chios. You can visit this island and enjoy the beautiful green and blue scenery without worrying about exceeding your budget. You will love swimming at Mavra Volia and Lithi and if you want to feel cut off from the world for a change, head straight to Agia Dinami. Do you prefer travelling car-free? You can hop on a local bus or a bicycle. The most tasteful ouzo of Aegean Sea is found in this island and to taste it you only have to book cheap ferry tickets to Chios through Let's Ferry. Combine multiple routes in a single booking.

Hydra
Perhaps the only glamorous island that is affordable for all types of vacationers. Couples who visit the island of the Argosaronic Gulf, will have the chance to see «Hydra by night», the romantic view of the town and the villages of the island at night. Many young people also choose Hydra as they want to visit a sophisticated island but don't have a car. In Hydra, cars are forbidden and you can explore the island on foot. Most beaches are within a short distance from the port, like bustling Plakes and Vlychos.  Hydra has a calming energy and as it's in a stone's throw from Piraeus, is an all-year-round destination.
