Eastern Aegean
Discover the Eastern Aegean Islands in Greece, situated north of the Dodecanese and just east of the Sporades Islands. Most of the islands are located close to Turkey's border, boasting a mild climate and plenty of sunshine throughout the year. Even in winter, temperatures rarely dip below freezing. Be enchanted by the strong winds that blow in August, fondly referred to as meleemia. While tourism is less developed than on other Greek islands, each island has its own unique character. Samos, Thassos, and Ikaria are renowned for stunning beaches, Chios for its medieval villages and mastic production, Lesvos for its seaside spots, and Limnos for vast sandy coasts. Don't miss out on exploring the significant islands of the Eastern Aegean, including Chios, Ikaria, Lesvos, Limnos, Samos, and Thassos.
