North & East Aegean Islands
Nearer the Turkish coast than Greece, there are five large islands in this chain; Ikaria, Samos, Limnos, Lesvos and Chios with a smattering of small islands.
The North Eastern Aegean Islands offer a plethora of mixed activities to suit all tastes, from sandy and pebbly beaches, green landscape and a rich history.
Some of the bigger islands have regular European charter flights in the summer and/or connections from Athens.
Ferry connections to some of the bigger islands are possible from the port of Piraeus – the journey is long.
