20 Nov Cyclades islands
The most famous island group in the Aegean Sea comprises some of the most beautiful islands in the world! Gorgeous sandy beaches, architecture in white and blue, traditional lifestyle, folk music, warm, hospitable people and barren landscapes with isolated chapels turn a trip to the Cyclades into a lifetime experience.
The name “Cyclades” refers to the islands forming a circle (the name in English means: “circular islands”) around the sacred island of Delos. According to the Greek mythology, Poseidon, God of the sea, furious at the Cyclades nymphs turned them into islands.
Located relatively close to Athens, the Cyclades islands can be reached by ferry to the Cyclades or by plane, either from the Greek mainland or from a foreign country. The Cyclades is an ideal summer destination for all types of travelers, from couples to groups of friends and families.
The most popular islands of the Cyclades are Santorini, Mykonos, Paros, Naxos, Milos, Ios, and Amorgos. Nevertheless, all the Cyclades islands are incredibly beautiful and photogenic!
Among others, the Cyclades island group is famous for its characteristic minimal architecture, picturesque villages, idyllic beaches, and breathtaking landscapes. No wonder they are in the bucket lists of millions of people all around the world!
