Cyclades Islands Travel Guide

Tourist Guide
Oia featuring a coastal town and a luxury hotel or resort
Picturesque villages, breathtaking coastlines, a wealth of history and culture and stunning views of the Aegean Sea, make a visit to the Cyclades Island an unforgettable holiday.

Around the uninhabited island of Delos, the Cyclades Islands in Greece have some of the most beautiful holiday destinations in the Aegean. From long golden beaches, pretty coves and spectacular sea caves to ancient monuments, castles and charming Cycladic buildings, there’s much to explore.

Hike across rugged island terrain and explore historical towns and villages. Enjoy watersports from windsurfing to scuba diving. Party through the night at one of Cyclades Islands’ livelier resorts or simply relax on the beach.

Each Cyclades Island has a unique character. The volcanic landscape of Milos Island is unforgettable with its strange geological formations. Visit Kleftiko beach, the sea cave of Sykia and the magical landscape of Sarakiniko to experience some of the most impressive locations here.

In contrast, on Naxos Island wander across mountainous terrain and along lush green valleys during your holiday. Mount Zas, the highest mountain in the Cyclades, is popular for hiking trips.

To stroll around historical towns, visit Ermoupolis on Syros Island. Ancient ruins mix with Medieval buildings and more recent Neoclassical edifices in this beautiful cosmopolitan capital. Choose from a wealth of restaurants or soak up the atmosphere in one of the elegant squares.

For an adventure into ancient history, a visit to the Temple of Apollo on Naxos Island is a must. The Cyclades Islands also boast some extraordinary churches and monasteries. The clifftop monastery of Panagia Hozoviotissa on Amargos Island is perhaps one of the most breathtaking.

With so many islands in the Cyclades, there’s a huge range of beaches. Mylopotas Beach on Ios Island has plenty of bars and a buzzing party atmosphere. For a more tranquil holiday, visit the unspoilt beaches of Tinos Island.

On Andros Island, relax on Achla beach and swim in the clear blue waters of the Aegean Sea. This is thought to be one of the best beaches in the Cyclades.

Whichever island you choose to visit, the Cyclades Islands offer the perfect holiday destination for beach holidays, cultural adventures or romantic retreats, with plenty of opportunity to soak up the authentic culture and traditions of Greece.
