There are about 1400 islands in Greece. Hitchhiking in cars will likely prove much easier than on the mainland! Hitchhiking a boat may be possible too. Hitchhiking a ferry from mainland to an island can be difficult: usual method of asking the truckdrivers (and other drivers) is not working as they have to pay for every passenger, not just for the vehicle.

Some islands are

Crete

Corfu or Kerkya,

Chios, the best for hitching!

Lesbos or Lesvos,

Elafonissos,

Lefkada,

Kefallonia,

Ithaka,

Samos.

On Ikaria almost every driver is taking you, but they are usually not going very far and there are not many cars.

The ferry from Samos (Greece) to Kuşadası (Turkey) is a tourist passenger ferry and costs 30 Euro plus 10 Euro Turkish port tax which is a lot more than the regular Greek ferry (deck ticket) prices.
