Your destination —
Cyclades
A sun-drenched symphony of whitewashed villages and sapphire seas, the Cyclades are a vision of Greek island charm and timeless beauty. Scattered across the Aegean like pearls, these islands blend ancient mythology, postcard-perfect landscapes, and a laid-back pace of life that invites you to slow down and simply soak it all in. From the sugar-cube houses and windmills of Mykonos to the volcanic cliffs and blue-domed churches of Santorini, this iconic archipelago is both cinematic and serene, a place where every sunset feels like a celebration.
Must-sees:
- Santorini’s Caldera: Gaze out over the flooded volcanic crater from the cliffside towns of Fira and Oia, famed for their world-class sunsets.
- Delos: Step into ancient history on this uninhabited island, once a sacred sanctuary and bustling trading port, now home to incredible ruins.
- Mykonos Town (Chora): Get lost in a maze of narrow streets lined with bougainvillaea, designer boutiques, and whitewashed buildings.
- Milos’ beaches: Discover lunar-like landscapes at Sarakiniko or take a boat tour to the island’s many secret coves.
- Amorgos & Naxos villages: Away from the crowds, wander hilltop towns like Chora or Apiranthos where time seems to stand still.
Culinary culture:
The Cyclades offer a delicious slice of Greek island life. Feast on grilled octopus drizzled in lemon and olive oil, or try local dishes like louza (cured pork), kopanisti (spicy cheese), and fava (yellow split pea purée). In seaside tavernas, you’ll find the catch of the day cooked simply and served with island wine. Don’t miss a slice of melopita (honey pie) for dessert, and toast your evening with a glass of ouzo as the sky turns pink.
Dive deeper:
To truly feel the Cycladic spirit, rise early and watch the fishermen return to harbour, or join locals at a hidden kafeneio for a strong Greek coffee and morning gossip. Stay in a traditional guesthouse with stone walls and sea views, or rent a scooter to explore olive groves, Byzantine chapels, and panoramic trails off the beaten track. Art lovers can seek out contemporary galleries in Tinos or Folegandros, while history buffs will find a treasure trove in Syros' neoclassical Ermoupoli. At night, let the soft strum of a bouzouki in a moonlit square carry you into the island rhythm, slow, warm, and unforgettable.
Good to know:
Island-hopping is a breeze thanks to frequent ferries and catamarans, with Athens as the main entry point via Piraeus port. The local currency is the Euro (EUR), and most residents speak English, especially in tourist hubs. The best time to visit is May to October, with July and August being the hottest and most crowded. While each island has its own character, pack light, dress casually, and be ready to surrender to the Cyclades’ irresistible charm.
