2The Best Greek Islands For Going Off-The-Beaten-Track

For some travelers, nothing beats the feeling that you’re the first person to discover or experience something, so for anyone looking for a destination off the beaten path, these are the best Greek islands to visit.

Paxos – Paxos is a little gem, being only 5 miles long and 2 miles wide, that often gets bypassed for the bigger, more well-known islands. At its heart is Gaios, where laid-back cafes line the island’s main port and colorful villas tell of its heritage, and despite being the biggest village on the island, its sleepy, slow-paced feel make it authentically and undeniably Greek.

Donousa – Donousa is the ideal place for those looking to get off the beaten track, being home to just over 100 residents in four tiny villages. The Greek island offers tourists beautiful but empty sandy beaches, glittering emerald-green waters and traditional whitewashed houses that are as picture-perfect as those in Santorini but avoid the hordes of Instagrammers posing outside.
