Pelagos

Which Greek islands have you actually been to? Pelagos keeps the count. Tick off every island you have set foot on and watch Greece fill in on an interactive map — from Crete and Rhodes down to the tiny excursion islets most maps forget. It is the travel tracker for anyone who has spent a summer island hopping and lost count somewhere around the fourth ferry. A MAP OF EVERY GREEK ISLAND 89 islands make up the checklist, grouped the way Greeks group them: Cyclades, Dodecanese, Ionian Islands, Sporades, North Aegean Islands, Saronic Islands, Crete and the standalone islands. Tap an island and it fills in. The map is fully offline — no account, no signal, no mobile data needed. THE EXPERT TIER Switch on expert mode for 23 more: Delos, Spinalonga, Ro, Gramvousa and the other famous day-trip islets. They are scored separately, so your main "how much of Greece have I seen" number stays honest. CARTOGRAPHER MODE Somewhere in the app there is a third list: the 874 rocks, islets and skerries in Greek waters that have a name, in Greek and English. Nobody is going to finish it, and finding it is part of it. It is scored on its own and changes no other number in the app. BADGES WORTH CHASING Complete a whole region for Cycladic Circle or Twelve and Counting. Reach the corners of the country for Edge of Europe and Lighthouse of the East. There are more than twenty, and some are harder than they look. COMPARE WITH FRIENDS Send a friend your invite link and put both maps side by side — who has more, and exactly which islands they have that you do not. A private leaderboard ranks you against the friends you added, and nobody else. SHARE YOUR MAP One tap renders your map as an image with your score on it, ready for a story or a group chat. Arguments about who has seen more of Greece are best settled with a picture. SYNC, OR DON'T Pelagos works completely offline with no account. Sign in with Google or Apple only if you want your list on more than one device, or want friends. GREEK AND ENGLISH Every island name in both languages. WHAT PELAGOS IS NOT No ads. No third-party analytics. No location tracking — Pelagos never asks where you are, you tell it where you have been. Free, with nothing to buy.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pelagos at none against Visit Kos's shown. Visit Kos's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
