To name this like the others at List_of_islands, I'd like to move this page from Greek islands to List of islands of Greece. If someone could delete the current redirect at List of islands of Greece, this would help. -- User:Docu

[edit] Merge request
There was a request to merge this article with the list of Aegean islands. I removed the request because although the lists contain many of the same islands, their purposes are fundamentally different. This list is a country specific list that is meant only to show the islands that are part of Greece, while the other list contains all of the islands in the sea, whether they're Greek or Turkish. --NormanEinstein 15:21, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1400 islands??????
The number you have is a bit inaccurate.They are much more actually, if you count every bit of land with at least a 10 meter radius.This is very important because every island includes six miles of national sealine (it should be 12 miles ,according to international sea laws ,but there is an everlasting Greek-Turkish dispute about this).The actual number is about 6000 islands (and islets) from which 227 are inhabited.http://www.eot.gr/pages.php?pageID=254&langID=2--NatK 05:51, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] How many Inhabited ?
I've seen various numbers quoted for 'inhabited Greek islands'. A 1999 survey quoted by the Greek Ministry of Press & Mass Media in 'About Greece' a book distributed to the Press and others quotes 169 inhabited islands. A Pub Quiz site says over 160 (safe bet!) The Greek Tourism site quotesthe same 227 as on Wikipedia. I'd like to think te Ministry site is the correct one - but does anyone know for sure? Do they mean permanently inhabited or habitable?
