Greek Islands
Narrated by Rick Steves
30 minutes; European Travel Guide
The Greek IslandsŐ sunny
climate, great beaches and relaxed culture attracts travelers from
all corners. Island hopping on the Aegean ferries, we visit
touristy, exotic Santorini (starting with an island bus tour), ride a
motorbike around Samos, and hang out on the barely-known island of Lipsi
where we sample the local cuisine. We stroll on an
out-of-the-way black sand beach. Other quiet moments include visiting
peaceful Spiliani Monastery, the ancient ruins of Akroteri and the Temple
of Hera.. With tips from the tourist office, we find offbeat and fun
ways to island hop and our own picturesque places to stay.
