Information about the Beaches in Eastern Aegean islands, in Greece but also information about beaches in many islands of the group: The islands of North-Eastern Aegean are less popular than other island groups. Samos island, Ikaria island, and Thassos island are the most frequented islands of Eastern Aegean. Gorgeous Eastern Aegean beaches can be found in all those Greek islands. Tsamadou and Lemonakia in Samos, Livadi and Messakti in Ikaria as well as Golden Beach and Paradise in Thassos are considered the loveliest beaches in Eastern Aegean islands with exotic crystal water but also among the best beaches in Greece.
The rest of the Eastern Aegean islands have equally nice sandy beaches but they are not that famous. Chios, for example, is most famous for the Medieval villages rather than the coastline. Lesvos also does not have large bays but small family coves to relax. Lemnos, on the other hand, has impressively large sandy beaches but most of them are secluded and not very easy to reach.
