Yesterday 
I have not been all over Greece, but I have visited lots of amazing places, including plenty of Aegean islands. Crete, Rhodes, Santorini, Skiathos, Thassos, all beautiful and with a very unique and distinctive personality.
Here is what I'd suggest...
Recommendation #1
Rhodes
A beautiful, green island of the Dodecanese, Rhodes has beautiful beaches, rich history and night life! It is a place that combines lots of tastes. A visit to the old town and the great palace are mandatory!
Just a warning, the seas are cold! Probably the coldest I have ever swum in.
A visit to Lindos is a must...
And so is a daily cruise to Symi.
Recommendation #2
Santorini
The island with the most romantic sunset in the world for many. The caldera vibes and the unique landscape, the dry summer air, the architecture, the food, wines and local delicacies...
You can go on a tour of the beaches and then for wine tasting in one of the many wine industries of the island. There are also daiy excursions on the caldera, where you can go hiking in the mouth of the sleeping volcano.

And the sun going to sleep in Oia
The red beach
I must admit I didn't enjoy swimming that much there, the seas were deep and quite cold for my taste.
Recommendation #3
Volos and the Sporades
If you want to combine mountain and beach holidays, a good idea would be Volos with Pelion mountain and then a visit to one of the islands right opposite, Skiathos, Skopelos or Alonissos.

I have some shots form Skiathos to show you. A green island with beautiful beaches, the perfect place for young couples or groups of friends as you can both enjoy the sea, natural landscapes and night life.
The famous Lalaria beach
Kastro
And Koukounaries
Recommendation #4
Kavala and Thassos
If you want to have a taste of Northern Greece you could combine a visit to Kavala and then a trip to Thassos. Daily ferries make the access easy and Thassos is also a green island that combines the mountain and the sea. The beaches there are also very beautiful (too bad I don't have many shots to show you).
Kavala is one of my favorite destinations (along with Volos and Kastoria, probably because they share the combination of altitude and water!). A beautiful landscape, life and clear beaches within walking distances (if you don't want to explore any nearby beach villages like Peramos).

The Peninsula of Holy Mother
This town has many beautiful and quaint spots and easy access to other nearby beaches like Ammolofi to the West and Keramoti to the East. From the port of Kavala you can take to ferry to Thassos.
Most places have remarkable natural beauty. Rhodes and Santorini are more cosmopolitan and you can enjoy nature and cosmic life. There are plenty of places to visit if you have a means of transport, but even if you don't want to rent a car or motorbike, you can always rely on public transport, which during the holiday season is regular.
Volos has a warm and cozy atmosphere with its famous tsipouradika (places where you can drink tsipouro and dine on the super tasty tsipouro snacks). The mountain is right behind the town and you can do various activities like hiking or simply a tour of the small villages with the distinctive architecture, the churches and various folklore art museums. The Sporades islands are also very beautiful and lots of amazing beaches will guarantee you get the perfect tan and enjoy the beach at the same time.
Kavala is also a beautiful town, perfect for women (uphill roads will work out this booty, gals!). A place with rich history and sights, nearby beaches and various choices for entertainment. It is also the port to Thassos, another island famous for its natural beauty, tree-covered mountains and beaches.
The rest of you, when are you booking tickets for Greece?
