Ryan, your Greek islands travel guide is like a visual escape to paradise! 🌴🇬🇷 Each island has its own unique charm and beauty that you capture flawlessly. The crystal-clear waters, stunning cliffs, and picturesque landscapes truly make Greece a dream destination. Your videos always inspire me to explore the world's hidden gems, and you've showcased the Greek islands in such an incredible way. I'm adding these islands to my bucket list for sure! Keep up the amazing work, Ryan 🌟🎥🌊

Zakynthos is absolutely incredible. My husband and I go every year, we love it so much. The fact that it’s less touristy than any island makes it so much better

[@RyanShirley]

Zakynthos really is one of the best Greek islands! That’s so awesome you guys go every year

[@flowerfaeri]

I stayed in a cottage on a farm there in 2010. We had free use of bicycles and rode around the island during the day, and enjoyed our evenings with the locals in a small nearby taverna. Every morning we'd collect oranges and make our own juice for breakfast. If you time it right, you can see the sea turtles hatch in early fall and watch them return to the ocean.

[@CH-yp5by]

Santorini is for honey moons, girls having a hens party and instagrams people who call themselves influencers (whether they influence or not is debatable) its one of the most commercialised islands along with Mykonos, both islands have lost its Greek culture as a result of being purely commercially driven, they are by far the most expensive and best be avoided unless you fit in the a category of the aforementioned. The other islands you reccomened are in fact amazing !

[@jamescarr6394]

Whilst I agree, they’re popular for a reason. Some of the best views ever I saw in santorini. I’d just say to avoid Oia and stay in Fira

[@John_Fugazzi]

I'm not surprised you like the Greek Islands because you're really into swimming, diving and water activities. Glad you included the Ionian Islands which are so different than the Cyclades with much more vegetation. People often miss them. Milos is becoming an alternative to Santorini with its crowds (another spot overpublicized by the Internet.). It's still my favorite but now very built up and expensive; who ever thought Santorini would have infinity pools and a jet airport? I'm not a big fan of Mykonos, the Ibiza of the Aegean. I'm totally unfamiliar with Zakinthos but those beaches look great. Naxos is another good island and off the beaten track there's Thassos and Samothraki up near Thessaloniki with no so many tourists.

[@RyanShirley]

Thanks so much John! You really know your Greek islands, I’ve never been to Naxos or Thassos but you’re really making me want to go. There’s so many hidden gem islands in Greece 🇬🇷🏝️
