Greek islands where nothing happens

Every summer brings another list of "quiet Greek islands", and almost none of them say why an island made the cut. This one scores all 88 and shows you the numbers: how many people live there, what the nightlife amounts to, whether you need a car.

How this is scored: quiet is the absence of nightlife (42%) plus the absence of people (42%) plus being small enough to walk (16%). How hard the island is to reach is deliberately excluded — remote is a different claim from quiet.
