This is the Northeastern Aegean Islands chapter from Lonely Planet’s Greece guidebook.

The wildly varied northeastern Aegean Islands invite intrepid travellers to escape the crowds, while experiencing old-fashioned island cuisine, culture and celebrations. Eccentric Ikaria is marked by dramatic landscapes; nearby Chios is an ecotourism paradise.
