The islands of white houses, churches with blue rooftops, windmills, and some of the best beaches Greece has to offer. Even the ancient Greeks knew: the Cyclades are a special place. Centred around the mythological and historical island of Delos, once the birthplace of and home to the divine twins Artemis and Apollo, the ‘circle islands’ form a family of about 220.
While most of these islands are uninhabited, many of them are becoming increasingly popular, both with Greeks and tourists from abroad. One of the best kept Cycladic secrets is that the islands are also very suitable to be discovered on foot, for instance, by doing our Andros Trail self-guided walking tour.
