Small Greek Island Greeks Keep Secret: It Has Only One Tavern and Untouched Nature, and Only Select Few Vacation There
The small island of Antikythera, located on the edge of the Aegean Sea between Crete and the Peloponnese, is a hidden gem that Greeks keep as a secret. The island is known for its untouched nature, peace, and quiet, and it's hardly surprising that there are no crowds or mass tourism here. The island is reached by ferry from the mainland, and during winter, navigation can be difficult due to storms and strong waves. In winter, life on Antikythera depends on the supply ship – almost everything the locals use, from food to fuel for vehicles, is brought by ship.
