Insider’s Tips

• Visiting off-season you will find everything quieter.
• A vast variety of accommodation choices is offered in the islands, from high-standard luxury hotels to small individual houses by the sea or amidst the olive groves. Avoid the high season (15 July-20 August). Book early.
• Discover the authentic taste of the traditional dishes and pure local products, in the small tavernas, hidden in the neighbourhoods of the mountainous villages, away from the over-developed tourist resorts. 
• Sailing along the west coast of the islands, you will find superb secluded beaches that can be accessed only by boat.
