A doubt before organizing the holidays: this year Greek islands or Balearic Islands? The Greek islands are fantastic, but maybe you have already seen many and would like to try a holiday in the Balearic Islands. Let's try to see what they have in common and how they differ the most. First of all, it can be said that in Spain you feel a bit less abroad; the language is more than understandable (unlike Greek) and even the food and architecture are more similar to ours. The charm of feeling abroad is more felt in Greece, for example when wandering through its "chore" of white and blue houses, with the priests strolling with their families, perhaps waiting to go eat a "moussaka." As for the climate, the Balearic Islands are less windy and the sea, in the absence of the cool "Meltemi," is generally warmer. The vegetation in both cases consists of Mediterranean scrub, but the Balearic Islands are generally greener. The sea is beautiful and clear on all the islands, whether Greek or Spanish.Regarding prices, with a few exceptions, the Greek islands are a bit cheaper.The beauty of the natural landscape is remarkable both in the Balearic Islands and on the Greek islands, but in our opinion, the Greek islands host more picturesque villages and unique archaeological sites. The Balearic Islands are easily accessible by plane from many European cities (all except Formentera have an international airport) and also reachable by sea from Barcelona or Valencia.The Mediterranean Sea unites them, their past differentiates them. Some may resemble each other, such as Mykonos and Ibiza for the wild nightlife or Elafonisos and Formentera for the splendid beaches, but they remain fundamentally Greek or Spanish.
