Not every place suits every trip. Here is how the destinations differ, with the hotels we list in each and the guides that narrow the choice further.

The widest choice in Greece: big beach resorts on the north coast, quieter adults-only stays around Elounda, and enough of the island to fill two weeks. Less suited to travellers who want a small, walkable place.

Caldera views, cave suites and sunsets, at the highest prices in the country. Best for couples and short stays; families and beach-first travellers get more elsewhere.

Green, Venetian and gentler than the Cyclades, with Ikos-style all-inclusive resorts on the east coast. Best for families and for travellers who dislike wind and bare rock.

Flat, easy and well served by all-inclusive resorts along long sandy beaches. Good value for families and first-time visitors; short on drama and nightlife beyond Kos Town.

The most glamorous island in the Cyclades: beach clubs at Psarou and Nammos, chalk-white boutique hotels above Ornos and Agios Ioannis, and the highest prices after Santorini. For couples and groups who want style and nightlife; families and peace-seekers get more on Paros or Naxos.

A long season, a UNESCO old town and the best five-star beach resorts on the east coast. Suits families and anyone who wants history and beach in the same trip.

Turquoise coves, sea caves and Shipwreck Beach, with luxury concentrated in a few adults-only suite hotels. Best for couples who want scenery over sophistication.

A small Cycladic island that has traded its party reputation for a handful of design hotels above empty beaches. For couples who want Santorini's light without the crowds.

Cycladic villages, sheltered sandy beaches and a quieter luxury scene than Mykonos next door. Suits couples and families who want the look without the prices.

Remote, windy and unspoilt, with a few quiet resorts on sheltered coves. For travellers who rank peace and authenticity above choice.

Reached by road, with dramatic west-coast beaches and calm east-coast bays for sailing. Suits active travellers and families with a car; the luxury choice is small.

Small, green and sandy, with some of the best beaches in the Sporades and a lively town. Good for a week of beach days; luxury is limited to a few resorts.

The largest Cycladic island, with long sandy beaches, mountain villages and fair prices. Best for families and longer stays; luxury here means boutique rather than grand.

Mountainous, wine-making and close to Turkey, with sheltered beaches and a slower pace. For travellers who want a Greek island few people talk about.

Rooftop pools facing the Acropolis, serious restaurants and museums, and the Riviera beaches half an hour away. The right choice for a city break or a two-night start to an island trip.

Pine-backed beaches on three mainland peninsulas, home to Sani and Ikos and the best family resorts in Greece. Not the place for island hopping or nightlife.
