Greece has thousands of islands beyond the super popular travel destinations of Santorini and Mykonos.
Featuring incredible landscapes, picture-perfect harbors, once-in-a-lifetime activities, and none of the crowds, here are 10 "hidden" Greek islands worth seeking out on your Greece honeymoon.
Famous mostly among divers and geology nerds, Milos has otherworldly volcanic landscapes: white lunar formations at Sarakiniko, colorful fishing villages built into cliffs in the town of Klima, and over 70 beaches, each strikingly different.
This quieter, cliffside cousin to Santorini stands out with a stunning hilltop old town (Chora) perched on a cliff edge, whitewashed churches, and none of the cruise-ship crowds.
A pastel-colored Dodecanese gem near Rhodes, with neoclassical mansions stacked up from the harbor, a spectacular monastery (Panormitis), and turquoise coves reachable mostly by boat.
Go for the dramatic cliffs and the striking Hozoviotissa Monastery built directly into a rock face. The island also gained fame as the filming location for The Big Blue, and its hiking trails are some of the best in the Cyclades.
Larger and more self-sufficient than its neighbors, Naxos boasts mountain villages, ancient ruins (don't miss the Portara gate), and produce so good it doesn't need to import much -- plus some of the best beaches in the Cyclades.
Known as the culinary capital of the Cyclades, with excellent pottery traditions, hiking trails linking villages, and relaxed car-free beach towns like Kastro.
Rugged and remote, the island is split between a modernized south and a traditional north where villages like Olympos (also called a "living folklore museum") still keep old customs, dialects, and dress alive.
One of the world's "Blue Zones," where residents live remarkably long lives. Honeymoon couples can expect thermal springs, laid-back village life, and an unhurried culture that locals credit for their longevity.
Shaped like a butterfly, this Dodecanese island has an incredible Venetian castle towering over its main town and a mix of Cycladic and Dodecanese architecture, plus quiet beaches with very few tourists.
Tiny and remote (closer to Turkey than mainland Greece), Kastellorizo shines thanks to its gorgeous harbor of pastel houses and the famous Blue Grotto, whose interior glows electric blue when sunlight hits the water.
