200 inhabited islands, and always the same gentle hesitation at the moment of choosing. The good news? The best Greek island does not exist in the absolute: it exists for you, according to what makes you dream. Perched white villages, turquoise coves, tables of character or deserted paths far from the crowds?
In 7 questions, with no head-scratching, this test suggests the island made for your temperament. Since 1983 we have been composing walking holidays in these archipelagos: this quiz simply distils what 40 years of paths have taught us. There are no wrong answers, just your mood of the moment.
To go further once you have found your profile, our full guide to which Greek island to choose details each archipelago by mood.

Your island is Naxos

Your island is Corfu
Greenery, century-old olive groves, deep green waters and Venetian heritage: the gentlest and most shaded Greece. Head for our Ionian Islands.
Your island is Sifnos
Gourmet capital of the Cyclades: potters' workshops, Sunday revithada, white lanes and small quiet beaches. The epicurean's paradise. Explore the Cyclades.
Your island is Amorgos
Greece outside time: cliffs plunging into the Aegean, a white monastery clinging to the rock, deserted paths and silence. For lovers of authenticity. See the Cyclades.
Your island is Crete
A continent in itself: gorges, mountains, olive groves and a cuisine of character. Enough to walk and feast for a long time. Discover our holidays in Crete.

And what if your island hid another?
A test gives a direction. Greece itself combines endlessly. The ferries link the Cyclades to each other regularly: people gladly pair Naxos and Amorgos, or Sifnos, Milos and Serifos, on a single trip. Fancy greenery and gentleness? The Ionian Islands are holding out their arms. Fancy the open sea? Crete is a continent to explore.
At Kelifos, specialists in walking holidays in Greece, we organise all the crossings, the transfers and the charming addresses: you have only to walk, taste and let yourself be carried. Self-guided, route notes in hand, or on a guided trip, in the good company of a small group. To each their own pleasure.
