Paros Island

Whether you come upon them from the north, direct from Piraeus, or you approach from the south through the Sikinos-Ios channel, the dark humps of Paros and Naxos are a distinctive sight. Both are dominated by massifs in the south-east, from which the land slopes away evenly to fertile plains. (more…)

Kythnos Island

The whole aspect of any Greek island, especially those most recently opened to tourism, was changed once they were included in a regular ferry service connecting them with Athens; the next stage was when the improved harbour facilities attracted small boat sailors within a weekend’s sailing distance.

Kea (Tzia) Island

The western group of the Kyklades is quite distinct from its northern and eastern neighbours. The nearest island to Athens is Kea, which the inhabitants often still call Zia, the name by which it was known during the centuries when it was ruled by Italian family dynas¬ties. (more…)

Mykonos Island

Mykonos and Delos

Tinos Island

Tinos is separated from Andros only by the narrow Steno Strait. A Ferries from Rafina on the east coast of Attica call here after Andros, but most of the big modern ships come straight here from Piraeus and pass on to Mykonos. (more…)

Andros Island

Although Andros is second only to Naxos in size and historical importance, it is unlikely to be the first of the Kyklades you visit, if only because there is no direct ferry connection with Piraeus and there is no airport. (more…)

Cyclades Islands,The Kyklades

The Kyklades
The best impression of the Kyklades as a whole would probably be from an aircraft on its way from Athens to Rhodes, but it is hard to better the view from the top of Mount Kynthos on Delos, ringed as it is by this constellation of inviting yet mysterious grey-brown humps rising out of the blue Aegean.
