The Cyclades are a group of islands within 2 to 3 hours sail of one another and set in the deep blue waters of the Aegean Sea. Some islands are world famous like Mykonos and a favorite haunt of the international jet-set, while other island gems are less know and less visited.
The name Cyclades – cycle - (Kyklos in Greek) derives from the circle which these islands form around the center of the sacred island of DILOS or Delos, the birthplace of Apollo.
All love the characteristics which these islands have in common – sparkling sea, sun, beautiful scenery and the well known cubistic architecture.
We will “circle” around these fascinating islands in the best way, and you will enjoy an intimate and relaxed style Greek island vacation! Each island has its own unique charm, which you will discover as you explore one by one.
