Here, you can enjoy an authentic Greek holiday away from the hoards of travelers and sky-high hotel prices. It’s hard to compete with the likes of Santorini or Mykonos, but Agistri, a little island just one hour from Athens, comes pretty close. Away from the caves, Biševo is home to beautiful beaches, with two of the best found at Porat and Salbunara. For optimal snaps, make sure you go around lunchtime when the blue is the brightest.
You can’t visit the Blue Cave with your own boat, but you can get there on a day trip.
#HIDDEN ISLANDS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN CRACK#
Here, sun rays shine through an underwater crack in the rocks and set the cave alight with shades of vivid blue. The most famous, must-see destination? Modra Špilja, or simply, the Blue Cave. Rent a boat or join a tour to explore ten entirely different caves along the coast. This tiny Croatian island is perfect for a day trip from Viš, another island that’s well worth a visit. With a mere 15 permanent residents and just 2.3 square miles of real estate to call home, the little island of Biševo would probably go unnoticed if it weren’t for its famous caves. If you’re after water adventure, the island’s rugged coastline is ideal for windsurfing and snorkeling. Take a walk on the wild side by hiking through the volcano crater. In the quaint port town of Mandraki, you’ll find a mixture of white and colorful houses that are actually made of volcanic rocks. Another perk? Few travelers venture here compared to Kos, its famous neighbor. Make sure to pay Panagia Spiliani and Agios Theologos a visit. Not only is the island literally a volcano, but it’s also home to gorgeous churches and monastery. It’s pretty tough to find a Greek island that isn’t beautiful, but you’ll struggle to find one as special as Nisyros. One of the more popular beaches is Pointe Prime, where a narrow ribbon of sand connects a smaller island to the beach.

The ideal location to have no set plans, feel free to explore the winding pathways leading to breathtaking (and often empty) beaches. You can rent one from almost every corner, and they’re the perfect mode of transport for stopping at one or two (or three) of the numerous wineries that are scattered across the island. The locals are loco for pedal power, so rent a bike and get exploring. The French Riviera is a byword for luxury - but where can you peel back this layer of glitz and glamor to experience traditional French culture? Enter Porquerolles, an idyllic island located just 20 minutes by ferry from Hyères.
