Keep in mind, however, that the ancient Greeks considered many of these islands very important. We&#8217;re just afforded the opportunity that they&#8217;re less populated and contested now.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Important: How to Navigate Greece&#8217;s Less Touristy and Underrated Islands<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Navigating Greece&#8217;s less touristy and underrated islands may require a bit more planning and research compared to visiting popular destinations, but the experience of exploring these hidden gems can be incredibly rewarding. Before setting off on your adventure, spend some time researching the less touristy islands you&#8217;d like to visit (read below or view the above Table of Contents). Take into account factors such as travel time, ferry connections, and the availability of accommodations. Plan your itinerary to ensure you have enough time to fully explore each island and make the most of your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Best Greek Airports to Fly Into<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best airport to fly into before getting to Greece&#8217;s more underrated and less touristy islands is <strong>Athens International Airport (Eleftherios Venizelos Airport, code: ATH)<\/strong>. This airport serves as the primary gateway to Greece and offers numerous international and domestic connections. From Athens, you can take domestic flights to smaller airports on some of the islands or board ferries to reach your desired destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, <strong>Thessaloniki International Airport (Makedonia Airport, code: SKG)<\/strong> in Northern Greece is another option for travelers, particularly if you plan to visit islands in the Northern Aegean or Ionian Sea. However, the number of domestic flights and ferry connections available from Thessaloniki is usually less frequent compared to those from Athens. You can <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/flights\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>compare flight prices into either airport<\/strong><\/a> right here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Getting Between the Greek Islands<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to transportation, ferries are the most common and cost-effective means of getting around between islands. Research the ferry schedules ahead of time and book your tickets in advance, especially during peak season when routes may be busy. Keep in mind that ferry schedules can change due to weather conditions, so be prepared to be flexible with your plans. Domestic flights and private yacht or sailboat charters are also options for some islands, although they may be more expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For an authentic experience, consider staying in locally-owned accommodations like guesthouses, rooms for rent, or small boutique hotels. Not only will this support the local economy, but you&#8217;ll also get a genuine taste of Greek hospitality. Be sure to book your accommodations in advance, particularly during the high season when availability may be limited. <a href=\"mailto:bookings@winetraveler.com\"><strong>Contact the Winetraveler travel agency<\/strong><\/a> directly if you&#8217;d like us to handle the logistics for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During your stay, take the time to engage with locals and ask for recommendations on the best places to visit, eat, and explore. They can often provide valuable insights into lesser-known attractions, hidden beaches, or traditional tavernas that may not be on the typical tourist radar. Don&#8217;t be afraid to venture off the beaten path and explore the unique landscapes, history, and culture that these underrated islands have to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Less Touristy &amp; Underrated Greek Islands to Visit This Year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Worth noting:<\/strong> Just because they are less-touristy, these islands in Greece are still just as beautiful, if not more so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><strong>Milos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Milos-Greece-Underrated-Island-to-Visit.jpg\" alt=\"Ancient volcanic rock formations dot the island of Milos.\" class=\"wp-image-17977\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Milos-Greece-Underrated-Island-to-Visit.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Milos-Greece-Underrated-Island-to-Visit-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Milos-Greece-Underrated-Island-to-Visit-310x207.jpg 310w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ancient volcanic rock formations dot the island of Milos.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A volcanic island part of the Cyclades, Milos has a budding culinary scene.

After a naturally-cooked meal, enjoy the sand and pebbles of Paleochori beach, backed by rocky cliffs marbled with volcanic amber colors.
