Greece is one of the countries that has over 1300 islands,yes more than 1k,when i first knew this i can't believe it until i was surfed the net and made sure of this,and here are some useful info abt them.
227 are inhabited ( just 169 as quoted by the Greek Ministry of Press in a 1999 survey quoted in 'About Greece'). Only 78 islands have more than 100 inhabitants.
The cyclades :comprise around 220 islands,including the famous two islands Mykonos and santorini.
Crete:the biggest Greek island with 8,336 km² (3,219 square miles) and the fifth largest one in the Mediterranean .
saronic islands: includes 33 islands,Ageina is the closet one to Athens at 30km distance,with a population 7,410 census in 2004,and it is in the prefecture of Piraeus.
