Greek island holiday travel brochures boast of endless summer sunshine, long sandy beaches, lively tavernas and ever-friendly Greeks. It's all true, but surprises are in store for the unwary. Seas strewn with plastic bags, filthy bins and slow service are also typical. As an antidote to the gushing holiday travel guides, Greek Island Postcards takes a more prosaic peek at the paradise that is the Greek islands.
The Greek islands are grouped by visitor preference. Popular holiday islands will have an airport and high tourist numbers. Many beaches are busy, but quiet resorts can be found.
Peaceful islands can be off the main tourist trail and some will need a long ferry hop.
Sleepy and Offbeat islands are often small, usually reachable only by Greek island hopping on a ferry and are preferred by those who enjoy the simple pleasures in life.
