When it comes to the best Mediterranean Islands to visit, you have so many fantastic choices! From massive behemoths like Sicily and Corsica to tiny pristine getaways like Vis and Menorca, I truly believe that there is a perfect Mediterranean island for every kind of traveler.
I’ve been traveling extensively in Europe for two decades, I live in Europe today, and I make sure to visit at least a few new Mediterranean Islands each year. (Coming up this year? The Elafiti Islands of Croatia, which I’ve somehow missed in my many Croatia trips!)

The main tourist areas in Santorini are the white cliffside village of Oia and the main town of Fira, followed by Imerovigli, Kamari, and Perissa. There are plenty of nice hotels and places to stay in all of these areas, or you can just visit them on day trips from other areas of the island. They’re all worth a visit if you have time.
In any case, strolling…
