·

Writers at The Sydney Morning Herald have reviewed their options and voted on their favorite islands of all time, featuring destinations that span beach escapes, art hubs, and foodie hotspots.

Among the 12 best islands in the world, Greek destinations were essential inclusions.

Santorini and Mykonos are both highlighted as must-visit destinations.

The article notes, “be cognisant there are more than 200 other options to include on a Greek island-hopping adventure,” adding that “many, like Syros and Amorgos, flaunt ravishing coastlines, bougainvillaea-draped villages, chic beach bars, rustic seafood tavernas, and relatively few tourists.”

The top choice was the Fijian islands, described as “a gift to Australian families.”
