Greek Islandss Top 10 Attractions
From elegant Old Towns, dizzyingly perched cliffside monasteries and ancient sites steeped in history, to a reviving dip in a thermal spring and basking on the deck of your own yacht.
Top Attraction 1
Panaga Hozovitissa Monastery . Improbably wedged into a cliff above Amorgss southeast coast, this monastery greatly impressed Le Corbusier on his 1911 visit. It is still the spiritual centre of the Cyclades. For more information, .

Top Attraction 2
Corfu Old Town . Eminently strollable, this town is indisputably Greek but Latinate in style with its slatted Venetian shutters, canal-tile roofs, intimate squares and celebrated arcades, nestled between two giant fortresses. For more information, .

Top Attraction 3
Classical Temple of Aphaea . The juxtaposed colonnades of this temple on Aegina seem straight out of an M.C. Escher drawing; the piney hilltop site is everything youd expect for an ancient sanctuary. For more information, .

Top Attraction 4
Hani Old Quarter . An unusual combination of the Ottoman and Venetian distinguishes this port, a double bay with ample eating, drinking and people-watching opportunities. For more information, .
Gregory Wrona/Apa Publications
Top Attraction 5
Santorni . Sailing into the bay of Santorni is one of Greeces great experiences: broken pieces of an ancient volcanos rim Santorni and its attendant islets trace a gigantic circle around the deeply submerged caldera, whitewashed villages clinging to the black cliffs around. For more information, .

Top Attraction 6
Agou Ionnou to Theolgou Monastery on Ptmos . Founded in 1088, this monastery transcends the cruise-ship crowds besieging it with vivid frescoes, a rich treasury and unique architecture. For more information, .

Top Attraction 7
Ionian islands . Flotilla-sailing between the islands is the best choice for novices; conditions are milder than in the open Aegean, but the scenery is every bit as gorgeous, and characterful anchorages are close together. For more information, .
Kevin Cummins/Apa Publications
Top Attraction 8
Ermopoli . Elegant yet lived in, contrasting marble pavements with colourful houses, Unesco-recognised Ermopoli on Sros was founded by Hiot refugees and is the Cyclades tip-of-the-hat to the Belle Epoque. For more information, .
Britta Jaschinski/Apa Publications
Top Attraction 9
Skpelos Hra . Exquisitely preserved, it seems to exist in a 1980s time-warp, but in the best sense: old-fashioned shops, atmospheric arcades and a generous sprinkling of churches. For more information, .
