    Holidays to the South Aegean Islands toss up a bunch of Greece's poster boy destinations, with top beach, bar and sightseeing scenes.

    Major players

    Kos and Rhodes aren’t only big-hitters in the South Aegean Islands, they’re right up there in Greece’s overall rankings, too. Kos edges it when it comes to beaches, and throws in boat trips to Turkey for good measure. Rhodes, on the other hand, is like a sharing platter of blast-from-the-past sites, lively seaside resorts and eye-popping scenery.

    Stellar sightseeing

    Lindos Acropolis, the Ancient Agora of Kos, the Castle of the Knights – these islands are up to their eyeballs in must-sees. Rhodes notches up the highest tally, with attention grabbers that include a Medieval old town, a 14th-century palace and a crumbling stadium. Kos, meanwhile, holds up its end of the bargain with a Roman odeon, a Mycenaean temple and the worn-away remains of a hilltop Byzantine fortress.

    Top-drawer nightlife

    While culture vultures sign on the dotted line for Greek ruins and relics, younger crowds are drawn to this corner of the Aegean Sea for its party credentials. Kos Town has a harbour that’s tasselled with bars and nightclubs, and it’s a similar story in Rhodes’ well-known party capital – Kavos. Waterparks and beach-bound watersports rule by day, and the evening soundtrack keeps going until the wee hours.

    Top Destinations

    • Kos

      You get a lot of beach for your buck on Kos holidays – some 290 kilometres, to be precise. A ruin-packed capital and party playground are part of the package, too.

    • Paros

      With a skyline sprinkled with blue-domed churches and a coastline decorated with miles of golden sand, holidays to Paros serve up Greek island charm by the bucket load.

    • Rhodes

      Thinking about a holiday to Rhodes? This island offers up an epic past, beaches lifted straight off a postcard, and nightlife that leaves the rest of Greece in the shade.

    • Santorini

      Holidays to the Greek island of Santorini are a meze mix of volcanic beaches, postcard-worthy sunsets and tasty eats.

    • Mykonos

      With a bevy of beaches and parties to rival Ibiza, holidays to Mykonos serve Greek island charm with a sprinkle of glitz.
