Jewels of the Cyclades

Overview

Gleaming white-washed houses, golden beaches and crystal clear waters are just the beginning of what Cyclades has to present. Ancient Greek geographers gave this unique cluster of islands the name because they saw that they formed a circle (‘kyklos” in Greek). The islands come in all sizes and each one has its own distinct character.
