Hotels in Northeastern Aegean Islands, Greece

The Northeastern Aegean Islands hug Turkey's coast, with hot, dry summers (85°F/29°C) perfect for swimming at Lesbos's Petra Beach, and mild, rainy winters (55°F/13°C) ideal for exploring Chios's mastic-scented hills or soaking in Ikaria's thermal springs. On Lesbos, you can hike through the petrified forest near Sigri, while on Samos you can taste sweet Muscat wine at a family winery. If you visit in spring, join a boat tour between islands to see the wildflowers and avoid summer crowds.
