Overview

• An Avis review of search and hashtag data names Lesbos as the current top trending island, described as quiet with fishing villages, white‑sand beaches and 25–30°C summer temperatures.
• New coverage highlights Kefalonia as a less‑crowded alternative to Crete, the largest Ionian island at 786 square kilometers with limestone cliffs and emerald coves.
• Myrtos Beach on Kefalonia ranks No. 10 in a TripAdvisor user‑based list of the world’s most beautiful beaches, with other noted shores including Antisamos and Lourdas.
• Kefalonia’s natural draws include the Melissani cave lake and the Drogarati cave, alongside protected habitats for monk seals and loggerhead turtles.
• Access and visibility support the shift, with Kefalonia’s Anna Pollatou International offering regular flights from Germany and ferries from the mainland as social media and crowding push travelers toward quieter choices.
