An archipelago of dozens of islands spread across the deep blue Aegean Sea characterized by typical white houses and domed churches. Although Santorini and Mykonos are often mentioned in the Cyclades, there are many other islands that are less busy and perhaps even more beautiful. Think of the refined elegance of Syros and the rugged splendor of Milos. Or the islands of Naxos and Tinos. The Cyclades are ideal for island hopping.
