<\/a>You can still find small unspoiled seaside villages in Crete<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEn Creta<\/a> is probably the most known Greek island on this list, it still needs to be explored compared to Corfu, Santorini and Mykonos.\u00a0 It is located to the south out in the Mediterranean and serves as a border for the rest of the Greek Islands in the Aegean Sea.\u00a0 While it is the most populated Greek island and has resort areas, you can still find small unspoiled seaside villages with very few tourists.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nOne of our favorites is the tiny fishing village of Loutro. Firstly, you can only get here by boat, meaning there are no cars in this idyllic village.\u00a0 And coming into the natural harbor, you will notice clear the aqua-marine waters.\u00a0 The quintessential white-washed Greek buildings line the harbor with cafes, taverns and accommodations.\u00a0 The atmosphere here is just so peaceful.\u00a0 You also have the benefits of gorgeous beaches and mountain hiking trails in the surrounding nature of Loutro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Antipaxos<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Antipaxos is know for its secluded beaches<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you’re looking for an even more remote island experience, consider visiting Antipaxos. This tiny island is just a short sea taxi away from the port town of Gaios on Paxos. Anti-Paxos is known for its white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. These quiet Greek islands are known as the Mediterranean version of the Caribbean.\u00a0 You can reach Antipaxos by boat<\/a> from Corfu.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUnlike the Greek Isles in the Agean, Paxos and Anti-Paxos receive significantly more rainfall making for more lush landscapes. And in the summer, the colors of the rolling green hills combined with the white sand beaches and clear azure waters are an artist’s dream. In fact, Paxos and Anti-Paxos are famous artists’ escapes. Although it’s one of the quietest Greek islands, avoid peak season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Zante<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Zante’s hidden beaches ca be found on the North shore<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nPart of the Ionian islands, the island of Zante is one of the most popular touristy islands in Greece, which goes against the objective of this quiet island’s post. However, if you want seclusion, head to the north coast of the island; you’ll find some stunningly remote beaches that are far from any tourist traps. These beaches are also only accessible by boat, so they tend to be much quieter than those on the south coast.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zante is home to the famous Navagio Beach, or Shipwreck Beach, only accessible by boat because of the sheer cliffs surrounding the cove. You’ve most likely seen photos of this incredible beach, such as the one above. Other must-see spots only accessible by boats are the blue sea caves, Caretta Marine National Park, and the forbidden island of Polouzo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Ikaria<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Ikaria is a large Greek island located in the North Aegean Sea, to the west of Turkey. The island has a population of just over 13,000 people and is best known for its healing hot springs, which have been used since antiquity. Several thermal springs on the island are said to have therapeutic properties. If it’s wellness you are after, then Okaria could be for you. It is one of the world’s five blue zones meaning its people have some of the best health and longevity in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a result, Ikaria is attracting people worldwide who wish to know the island people’s secrets. Even entire residential cruises focused on wellness<\/a> have Ikaria on their itinerary. Aim to visit Ikaria during the Panigiri<\/em> season in the summer, when you can dance like nobody’s watching with complete strangers on their amazing beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
