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.
