The most picturesque island complex in Greece, lying right in the middle
of the Aegean Sea. One of the most importart Mediterranean civilizations was born here, the Cycladic. It is also propable that the lost continent Atlantis was around here. Calm, crystal clear water, bright sky, sun, and an austere architecture on naked rock, the Cyclades are filled with light and sunshine. The climate is dry and healty, with mild winters and cool summers, thanks to the beneficial 'meltemia'. The Cycladic archipelago, consists of 39 islands, from which only 24 are inhabited. The most important of them are : Kea (Tzia), Kithnos, Serifos, Sifnos, Paros-Antiparos, Mikonos-Dilos, Milos, Kimolos, Andros, Tinos, Siros, Naxos, Amorgos, Ios, Folegandros, Sikinos, Santorini (Thira), Anafi and Small Cyclades. |
