History
Cyclades means cyclic. This group of islands was named by ancient Greek geographers, as the islands surround the the sacred island of Delos, the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, as a circle surrounds its center.
Cyclades
Location
Located in the southeast of the mainland in the Aegean Sea. Famous “Meltemi” blows there during July and August and cools days and nights on those small diamonds that lay on the deep blue velvet of the sea.
Must see
Apart from unique and very important ancient/byzantine ruins and trademark white/blue buildings, these islands offer you entertainment, religious worship, isolation, and even a volcano! In such a small area, you can find hidden treasures.
