cyclades

The Cyclades Islands are some of the most popular destinations in Greece.

The Cyclades are an archipelago in the middle of the Aegean Sea. Kea, Kythnos, Sifnos, Serifos and Milos islands comprise the outer ring, while Mykonos, Paros, Naxos, Ios and Santorini are the most popular of the inner Cyclades, just a few hours cruising from Athens.

Mykonos and Santorini are the top attractions and their reputation for glamour and charm precede them. Mykonos is a desirable celebrity hotspot, similar to St Tropez and Ibiza, while Santorini is adorned with some of the most stunning views in Greece.

There is a multitude of islands in the Cyclades between these hotspots, which offer a plethora of dramatic cliffs, charming whitewashed towns, secluded coves, beaches, and bays to explore. One thing that the various Cyclades islands share in common is the renowned architecture of white and blue buildings and the magnificent sunsets.
