With turquoise seas, unmistakable whitewashed architecture and those iconic deep blue roofs, it's hardly surprising that the Greek islands are among some of the most photographed spots in the world.

In fact, there are thousands of Greek islands – though only around 200 are inhabited – each with its own distinctive landscapes, architecture and culture. Whether you're visiting the glamorous Mykonos or the more rustic Naxos, I'd defy any traveller not to whip out a camera and click away at the Aegean (or Ionian) vistas. Currently, the hashtag ‘Greek islands' has amounted to 4.5 million tags on Instagram – with the larger Cyclades spots racking up their own posts in the millions, too.

Granted, such beauty can amount to overcrowding in certain destinations – the often-ranked ‘most Instagrammable’ Santorini springs to mind, though there are plenty of quieter spots to explore – so the key to getting that perfect shot is often down to good timing and a bit of imagination in getting off the beaten track.

Either way, if landscape or architectural photography makes up the majority of your usual holiday camera roll, then the Greek islands are an undeniable must-visit.
