Greek island tourism and lifestyle trends

Overview

The Greek islands are characterized by diverse landscapes and varying levels of tourism appeal. The Cyclades, including Santorini and Milos, are noted for their volcanic origins, whitewashed architecture, and unique geological formations like limestone landscapes.

Beyond traditional sightseeing, the islands are increasingly viewed as destinations for retirees and travelers looking to avoid mass tourism.
