Greek islands holidays attract a great many people from both Greece itself and many other nations across the world. In this article we'll look at some of the most popular things to do whilst on holiday here.

1. Laying on the beach. It might seem obvious, but the beaches commonly featured as part of Greek islands holidays are considered by many holiday makers as being very attractive. When you realise that there are 6000 islands in the Greek state, you begin to understand why so many people take beach holidays here.

2. Go snorkelling. Snorkelling is just one of the various sea based activities that you might want to sample on one of the various Greek islands holidays available. The abundance of sea life coupled with the clear water means that many people head to Greece for activities such as this. Speedboats, jet skis and scuba diving are all possibilities whilst in this area.

3. Go island hopping. It is a fact that although there are 6000 islands only 227 of them are actually inhabited, but still you can go island hopping on one of the various boat trip services available. This kind of activity is great for getting a real feel of the scale of the islands, and how many there are. Many people would consider this as one of the most typical things to do on Greek islands holidays such as this.

4. Hire a yacht. There are a great many yachts sailing between the many islands in this area of the Mediterranean. You can charter a yacht whilst on one of the many Greek islands holidays available these days. While there is certainly a cost issue here, it can give a good sense of a lifestyle that many people might not experience on a regular basis. You can club together as a group to minimise the cost and spend what you save on feta cheese and salad - and of course some of the famous Greek wine.

5. Absorb the arts and culture. As anyone who has even a basic understanding of Greek history will tell you, there is a huge amount of art and culture in this part of the world. Greek islands holidays offer the opportunity to discover this history and culture close up. Painting, weaving, jewellery making, architecture - all these things are really interwoven, and if you're seeing one, you'll probably see one or more of the other ones.
