The first covid free areas in Greece are going to become the Aegean islands by the end of April, as vaccination efforts are intensifying in tourist destinations hoping for an influx of tourists.
In the heart of the Ionian Sea, a very short distance from mainland Greece, is a beautiful picturesque island, called Kastos. Kastos is the smallest inhabitable island of the Ionian Islands and is only 6 miles from Mytikas in Etoloakarnania, from which access to the island is provided by daily services. Our friend Marinos Charalampopoulos gives us a taste.
Polyaigos, also called "Polynesia of the Cyclades", is the largest uninhabited island in the Aegean and is considered the best-preserved island in the Mediterranean. It is part of the Natura 2000 program, designated as a Special Protection Zone, as it hosts a large number of rare endangered species of flora and fauna.
