North-East Aegean Island Holidays
"Stunning & less crowded, the North Eastern Aegean islands, await to be uncovered for their unique eccentricities, fortress villages, archaeological & cultural sites and amazing hot springs."
In the North Aegean Sea there are a number of disconnected islands which do not form a physical chain but are referred to as the “Northeast Aegean Islands”. Typically, the best way to reach these islands is via the mainland airport of Kavala which has a nearby port connecting to the island of Thassos which itself boasts a spectacular natural setting with superb beaches and mountain villages. Lesvos, Lemnos, Chios, Samos and Ikaria all promote a strong Greek identity with each island possessing its own unique and charming eccentricity and identity making them perfect for a truly special island-hopping holiday full of discovery and exploration. It is also worth noting that Samos also provides a direct airport link to the UK though this flight is infrequent.
