Pserimos

Size: Tiny    Martian Risk: nil, except for day trippers from Kos for an hour or two in the middle of the day when it can get manic

We were once accused by the Greek Tourist Office of offering islands they had never heard of; Pserimos is one of them! A handful of good, sandy beaches, a small selection of tavernas, fresh fish the main speciality, a tiny population greatly outnumbered by their goats, it is worth a few days visit just to experience a real, get away from it all, island. Just over an hour from neighbouring Kalymnos it is probably best twinned with it for a holiday visit. Just the place to unwind completely yet only a few hours away from the UK.
