Greek islands under 1000 people

Greek islands under 1000 people sit in a nice middle ground — small enough to feel quiet and local, but still with just enough going on to keep things interesting. Places like Kythnos, Kimolos, and Donousa have a bit more life than the ultra-tiny islands, with a handful of tavernas, small ports, and maybe a few accommodation options, but without the crowds you get elsewhere.
