Question Best Islands to Visit in Greece for First Timers

[RoamingRucksack]

Hey everyone, it's been ages since my first trip to Greece, and now I’m helping a friend plan her first visit. She wants a mix of stunning beaches, charming villages, historical sites, and that classic Greek island vibe. Should she stick to popular spots like Mykonos and Santorini, or would it be better to explore some off-the-beaten-path islands? Maybe a combo of both? What islands do you think would give her the best experience?

It sounds like a fantastic trip you’re planning! I think a combo approach would work perfectly. Santorini is a must for its stunning sunsets and unique architecture, while Mykonos offers vibrant nightlife and beautiful beaches. For a more laid-back vibe, consider adding Naxos, which has charming villages and great hiking, or Paros for its picturesque towns and serene beaches. This way, your friend can experience both the popular sights and some hidden gems! What kind of activities does she enjoy most?
