The Cycladic Islands or Cyclades in Greece is a group of islands located to the south east of Athens and roughly North of the Island of Crete. Whilst it is made up of many islands only a small number of them are inhabited, which many actually being the tops of underwater mountain ranges.
The term Cyclades literally means encircling islands and this was given to them as they roughly all circle the island of Dilos which features in mythological tales of Greece as the supposed birthplace of gods Apollo and Artemis. As you might expect the islands are rich in ancient ruins with many popular sites to explore.
If you’re looking for a Greek holiday adventure then the Cyclades is a great area to consider. The hot summer climate combined with very mild winter months make them an all year round destination. The nightlife scene found on the island of Mykonos is well known and it becomes a must visit for summer festivals.
Want that luxury Instagram worthy holiday? Santorini island might be the destination for you. Renowned for its whitewashed properties and amazing sea views it is a popular spot for a relaxing break in the sun.
The largest island in the Cyclades is Naxos which is famed for its long beaches and interior mountainous areas offering views no matter which direction you look. Naxos’ neighbouring island of Paros is smaller and features more of an authentic traditional Greek vibe than some of the more popular destinations.
