CYCLADES

The Greek islands of Cyclades are so named from a loose circle ("kyklos" in Greek), roughly centered on the sacred island of Delos.

For many people, Greek island is simply a cycladic island with cubic whitewashed houses, a maze of tiny streets, small churches and chapels at every corner, crystal clear sea.

Each island has to offer something different and each one has its own character, style, lifestyle, traditions and customs.
