Regions of the Greek islands

Greece has manyislands,[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]

The largest Greek island by both area and population isCrete, located at the southern edge of theAegean Sea. The second largest island in area isEuboea or Evvia, which is separated from the mainland by the 60 m wideEuripus Strait, and is administered as part of theCentral Greece region. After the third and fourth largest Greek islands,Lesbos andRhodes, 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: theArgo-Saronic Islands (pink) in the Saronic Gulf nearAthens; theCyclades (purple), a large but dense collection occupying the central part of the Aegean Sea; theNorth Aegean islands (yellow, and emerald), a loose grouping off the west coast of Turkey; theDodecanese (blue), another loose collection in the southeast between Crete and Turkey; theSporades (olive), a small tight group off the coast of Euboea; and theIonian Islands (red), chiefly located to the west of the mainland in theIonian Sea. Crete with its surrounding islets and Euboea are traditionally excluded from this grouping.

Some Greek islands are often located off the coasts of modern countries whose shores were already inhabited by Greeks before antiquity, such as the coasts of Asia Minor and northern Epirus. It was only in the 20th century that the displacement of Greek populations led to a change in the ethnic landscape: today, Greek-populated islands are situated near regions now inhabited by other ethnic groups, such as in Turkey (Asia Minor) and southern Albania (Northern Epirus).

This article excludes thePeloponnese, which has technically been an island since the construction of theCorinth Canal in 1893, but is rarely considered to be an island due to its artificial origins.
