Greece’s Hidden Gems: Three Quiet Islands to Escape the Crowds This Summer

Greece is preparing for a record-breaking summer as tourists flock to its shores. While famous spots like Mykonos and Santorini face overcrowding and high prices, quieter alternatives are gaining attention. Three lesser-known destinations—Amorgos, Kefalonia, and Halkidiki—are drawing visitors with their stunning landscapes and more affordable stays.

Amorgos stands out as a peaceful alternative to the busy Cycladic islands. Known for its dramatic cliffs, white-washed villages, and hidden beaches, it offers a slower pace without the hefty price tag. The Aegialis Hotel & Spa provides luxury at lower rates than those found on more tourist-heavy islands.

As Greece braces for its busiest summer yet, these lesser-known destinations provide a welcome alternative. With fewer crowds, lower costs, and stunning natural beauty, Amorgos, Kefalonia, and Halkidiki are becoming go-to spots for those seeking a more relaxed experience. The shift could ease pressure on overburdened hotspots while giving visitors a different taste of Greek hospitality.
