CYCLADES
SIGHTSEEING -
HISTORY
Cyclades
(islands forming a circle) are called the Aegean islands encircling Delos, Greece’s spiritual center in classical times.
The
circle begins at
SIFNOS and closes at
ANDROS,
going through
AMORGOS,
DELOS,
IOS,
KEA,
KYTHNOS,
MILOS,
MYKONOS,
NAXOS,
PAROS,
ANTIPAROS,
SANTORINI,
SERIFOS,
SIKINOS,
SYROS,
TINOS,
FOLEGANDROS and other small, mostly
inhabitant, islands.
Although
each island has its own character, and its own unique 8,000 year
history, all the islands share some characteristics, like snow-white
villages with the small winding streets, the windmills, the brilliant blue
sky, and the beautiful beaches with the green-blue sea.
