The Greek islands sound like an interesting vacation destination. According to Wikipedia:  

Quote

Greece has many islands, with estimates ranging from somewhere around 1,200 to 6,000, depending on the minimum size to take into account. The number of inhabited islands is variously cited as between 166 and 227.“

So where did they get their names?

Quote

” To find the etymology behind the names of Greek islands, one should take into account a number of factors, including ancient Greek mythology and even the geomorphology of each place.”
