Away from cruise ships and mainstream tourists, the island of Hydra is noticeably quieter than many other islands you will visit because there are no cars allowed here.

Walking through the streets you can once again enjoy the charm of the local people and their businesses, which highly depend on the visitors to the island.

Delos is a Greek island and archaeological site in the Aegean Sea’s Cyclades archipelago, near Mykonos.

It’s a chance to walk around the revival of the glory of the Greek civilization.

This destination is well known for having an incredible night scene so pace yourself throughout the day to prepare for the evening’s festivities. On arrival at the island, you can take some time to relax on the popular sandy beaches or jump straight in to exploring the terrain by moving up into the hills to see the 16th-century windmills. Most of the windmills were built by the Venetians but some construction work was not completed until the early 20th century.
