Cyclades
Being in the bucket list of every traveler, Cyclades is, beyond dispute, the most popular island group of Greece. The name, meaning Circular in English, is deriving from the ancient belief that the islands in this cluster are in a circular location around the sacred island of Delos.
Located in Aegean Sea, Cyclades covers 23 islands including unique Santorini, restless Mykonos and its follower Ios, aesthetically stylish Paros, pottery-land Sifnos, the biggest and greenest Naxos, activity paradise Milos etc.
Cycladic Islands offer variety in many themes despite their common characteristics like a rugged landscape, whitewashed houses, cobblestone streets, blue or red domed churches, Chora - the island capital located on a hill overlooking the crystal-clear waters and their gastronomy gems.
Cyclades, having the advantage of being close to Athens, can easily be reached by ferries from the mainland as well as be connected among themselves. Some of the bigger ones also have international airports.
