In May, when Greece was one of the first EU countries to open its borders to US leisure travelers, it was just in time for Greece’s peak season, which typically runs from May to September. There are hundreds of other islands to visit in Greece where you can forgo the crowds in favor of untouched beaches, family-run restaurants and remote beauty-as well as activities that suit your travel style and interests. The Greek isles tend to draw global travelers for their whitewashed villages, sparkling blue-green sea, lively choras and fresh fare, but there’s far more to all that than what’s found on the touristy islands of Mykonos and Santorini. Simply put, a lifetime wouldn’t be enough to explore the 6,000 islands of Greece, only 227 which are inhabited.
