Greek Island and Location Finder

Confused about what Greek island to visit and where it is located in the Aegean? It can be crucial when planning ferry routes, since ferries rarely travel between the different Greek island groups, even when the distance on the map seems to say that they should. Here's help on finding your way through the Greek islands.

While there are many more small islands to visit, most of these included here are relatively well-known and likely to be on your list of potential destinations. The major mainland areas are included as well, since they can be starting points for other travels.

Note: on the islands, the main town is usually or often called "Chora" or "(Island Name) Town" in addition or in place of any specific name it may have. If you are looking just for "Chora" in Greece, or if someone tells you "We stayed in Chora" without mentioning the island name, it could be anywhere!
