Every Island In Greece (Bar 4 or 5)!!!

It has taken 4 days. A load of websites but I have finally achieved the... erm... possible. I have named nearly every island in Greece. I have left out Crete due to it's size and I will do that in a future guide. Most islands contain a small guide with towns and cities. Some have archaelogical sites and geographical areas such as caves and high points. I have even named those tiny islands which are about 1 metre in length.

BEFORE! you start to complain I just want to tell you that first... Some places have the same name. Don't blame me this is upto Greek people. Some islands I could not name due to insufficient sources. Some spellings might be incorrect due to varitaions in spellings on different websites.

APPEAL: Can someone please post an image overlay of Crete here for me. This is just so I can get some extra info for my Crete guide.

Thanks, Erebus

That's quite an impressive bit of work, Erebus. GE needs this kind of work all over the planet since, so far anyway, most islands do not show names in the database. Strangely, features on the islands are named without naming the island itself.

Greek Island Image Overlays! [Re: Erebus]

OK here are a few image overlays of a few of the islands. Most fit pretty well while 1 or 2 may be a little off the real thing. Some quality is poor but some is about the same as GE itself so enjoy!

Donousa Island Guide [Re: Erebus]

It seems the island of Donousa was not properly detailed so here is some more extra detail of the island. There were three islands nearby called Melantoi however I could not find these or where their general location even was.
