There are islands without traffic or TV
for those who like to escape to total
peace and quiet and there are those
with nightlife to rival more sophist─
icated destinations.
More than 80 islands are dotted around
the Ionian, Aegean and Mediterranean
seas.
Some, like Rhodes, Corfu and Crete,
are well known to tourists. Others look
for the remoteness and simplicity
offered by the likes of Serifos or
Argios.
