Greece has many islands ,[ Note 1] with estimates ranging from somewhere around 1,200[ 1] to 6,000,[ 2] depending on the minimum size to take into account. The number of inhabited islands is variously cited as between 166[ 3] and 227.[ 2]
Regions of the Greek islands
The largest Greek island by both area and population is Crete , located at the southern edge of the Aegean Sea . The second largest island in area is Euboea or Evvia, which is separated from the mainland by the 60m-wide Euripus Strait , and is administered as part of the Central Greece region. After the third and fourth largest Greek islands, Lesbos and Rhodes , the rest of the islands are two-thirds of the area of Rhodes, or smaller.
The Greek islands are traditionally grouped into the following clusters: the Argo-Saronic Islands in the Saronic Gulf near Athens ; the Cyclades , a large but dense collection occupying the central part of the Aegean Sea; the North Aegean islands , a loose grouping off the west coast of Turkey; the Dodecanese , another loose collection in the southeast between Crete and Turkey; the Sporades , a small tight group off the coast of Euboea; and the Ionian Islands , chiefly located to the west of the mainland in the Ionian Sea . Crete with its surrounding islets and Euboea are traditionally excluded from this grouping.
This article excludes the Peloponnese , which has technically been an island since the construction of the Corinth Canal in 1893, but is rarely considered to be an island due to its artificial origins.
