An article recently published on the site of English newspaper Daily Express praises the beauty of the Greek islands and urges the readers to go island-hopping in Greece in order to discover their own paradise.

The article is entitled “Glamourous Mykonos, medieval Rhodes and tropical Kos: 10 best Greek islands” and it truly offers something for all tastes

The top 10 Greek islands, according to the article, are:

1. Mykonos. Go for gloss, glamour and glitter on this charming, yet fashionable island that attracts the cruise-ship crowd with dynamic night-life and lovely sandy beaches.

2. Kefalonia. Follow in the footsteps of Penelope Cruz and Nicolas Cage who filmed Captain Corelli’s Mandolin in the island. Kefalonia offers stunning beaches.

3. Spetses. Stroll in the pine forests of the island that was used by the writer John Fowles for the setting of his famous book The Magus.

4. Rhodes. Meander through the medieval magic of the old town of Rhodes, an amazing fortress city built by the Knights of St John.

5. Corfu. The mountains in the north of the island offer steep and dramatic coastlines while Corfu town is one of the prettiest towns in Greece.

7. Kos. Find fabulous beaches or enjoy the palm-fringed ferry port, an ideal place for a beer as you watch the sun go down.

8. Crete. Walk through the legendary home of King Minos’s mythical creature – the Minotaur – in the palace of Knossos on the island of Crete.

9. Angistri. Climb the amazing Acropolis in Athens and enjoy a city break combined with an island trip to Angistri, which is only a one-hour ferry hop from the capital.

10. Lesvos. Marvel at the therapeutic hot springs, olive groves and beautiful beaches of Lesvos. Greece’s speciality tipple ouzo is made here and it was also home to the poetess Sappho.
