The North Aegean Islands are in Greece. These islands are places of mountain villages, fishing harbours, beaches, some ancient ruins, and some natural wonders.
A green, mountainous island with many picturesque bays and sandy beaches. It attracts families and people who want to relax at wonderful and not overcrowded beaches, but also has some interesting antiquities to visit.
A small island that make for a nice rural retreat. It is unsophisticated and lacks almost all tourist infrastructure. There is no nightlife, except during the annual music festival.
A hilly and barren island for a relaxing holiday in close contact with nature. Sheltered bays, long sandy beaches and landscapes of volcanic rocks, interspersed with small hills and plains, and traditional villages of stone houses. Some of the beaches are excellent and uncrowded.
A small, sparsely populated island that retains its old Mediterranean charm. The island lives on fishery, agriculture, sheep farming, cheese making, bee keeping and very sparse tourism in summer.
