At arm's length from the island hopping fraternity due to the distances involved the northern Aegean group which includes Chios, Limnos and Samothraki appeals to those who seek a traditional Greek experience and peace and quiet.

The largest of the seven main north Aegean islands is Chios which is actually the third biggest of all the Greek islands after Crete and Evia respectively.
