These beautiful islands are quite rugged, with deep caverns, steep cliffs, and splendid views. Here you’ll find beautiful scenery, volcanoes, castles, thermal resorts, water sports, good fishing and, of course, some great beaches. Do expect crowds in summer months, and seasonal schedules for hotels and restaurants, which may be closed in the winter.
