Santorini: Santorini's picturesque white-washed villages built precariously on mountains and hills will no doubt charm you. This is one of the most photogenic islands in Greece. Formed by a volcano, the island has a rugged landscape and beautiful beaches.

Corfu: The northernmost island in the Ionian Islands, Corfu is one of the most popular places to spend a holiday in Greece.
