Sounion

Most famous for the ruins of the Greek temple Poseidon, which are perched on Cape Sounion overlooking the Aegean.  It’s worthwhile heading up to the ruins and watching the sunset over the Aegean…definitely a Kodak moment!  But don’t think that’s all there is to see with its sandy beaches, café culture and great restaurants it has a lot more to offer.

Kea

Located in the north west Aegean, Kea is one of the largest islands of the Cyclades, with stunning beaches, plenty of archaeological sites to visit and lovely traditional villages. Kea is a walker’s paradise, with an extensive network of ancient paths for those wanting to explore by foot. Wander through the island’s beautiful landscape, past olive trees, fruit trees, almond trees and oak trees. Head to the south side of Nikolaos Bay to the port of Korissia where you’ll find the remains of the ancient town walls and a Sanctuary of Apollo. Unspoilt by tourism, Kea is an authentic Greek destination with some of the best restaurants in Greece, serving traditional local fare. Nestled in a valley of trees is Pisses, our favourite beach. It is an excellent spot for snorkelling and the best place for a late afternoon swim while the sun sets over the horizon.

Kythnos

South east of Kea lies the island of Kythnos, an island unspoiled by tourism and very ‘Greek’ in every aspect. Attracting mostly Greek tourists due to its lack of commercialism, the locals here are very friendly and hospitable and the pace of life is slow. While the landscape is largely rocky and barren, the summer months bring out an abundance of colourful flowers and there's a stark beauty in the harsh mountainous terrain peppered with figs, vines and goats.

There are lovely sandy beaches, some only accessible by boat so this is the perfect place to get away from the crowds and find a beach to yourself. If you wander ashore you will find whitewashed houses, windmills, blue-domed churches and a way of life which seems to have remained unchanged for centuries. Kythnos is where you will find a taste of the ‘real Greece’, untouched by mass tourism and uncrowded even at the height of the season.

Serifos

The island of Serifos is home to wild natural landscape, small lush valleys and whitewashed houses, nestled between steep rocky slopes and hills. Long sandy beaches and quaint coves, traditional Cycladic villages and historical sites complete this island’s irresistible charm. Serifos Town, known by the locals as Chora, is a picturesque village, located on a hill above the island’s main port, with spectacular views out across the Aegean Sea. Explore the Venetian Castle ruins in Serifos town as well as the renovated windmills and numerous post-Byzantine churches.

Livadi is the most popular tourist resort on Serifos and well-known for its natural beauty and quaint architecture, with white cubic-shaped houses built into the hillside. The majority of Serifos’ nightlife and dining venues are found here, with an abundance of tavernas, bars, clubs and restaurants along the beachfront. Some of the finest beaches in the Cyclades are located on Serifos Island with crystal clear waters and sheltered coves, some accessible only by boat. In the northeast you will enjoy the sandy beach of Lia, the lovely bay of Agios Sostis and the stunning Psili Ammos with its turquoise waters, considered by many to be the best beach on the island.

Milos

An island on the western tip of the Cyclades Islands, Milos is known as the ‘Island of Colours’ thanks to its volcanic terrain with its many rock formations of different textures and colours from stark white to rich yellow. Well known for being where the ‘Venus de Milo’ was discovered, before being shown in the Lourve museum in Paris. A grand landscape and shaped like a horseshoe Milos has over 70 beaches to explore, each one with its own quality.  Overtime on the south coast of the island the sea has weathered small caves into the coastline, which once hid pirates and their treasure.

Polyaigos

An uninhabited island Polyaigos is largely privately owned by the Greek Orthodox Church, which have sub let part of the land to local herdsman.  Whilst a barren landscape will greet you on arrival there are some spectacular beaches to be found on the southern side of Polyaigos.  Also on the southern side of the island there are small caves which provide refuge for a dwindling population of Mediterranean monk seals.

Paros

Paros is located in the heart of the Cyclades and is the third largest Cycladic island after Naxos and Andros. It is a very popular tourist destination, attracting people with its exquisite sandy beaches, traditional villages, whitewashed houses covered in bougainvillea and historic chapels. It is known for its excellent nightlife in Naoussa, one of the most cosmopolitan areas of the island. The mountains of Paros produce the best white marble in the world and most of the ancient Greek masterpieces were made from Paros’ fine marble, including Venus de Milo and the Parthenon.

The island is also famed for its wine – both white and red. Locally made, it is produced the traditional way, without any additives and is well worth sampling.

If you are around Paros in August, make sure you go to Parikia on the 15th August where for over 1500 years, the Assumption of the Virgin Mary has been celebrated. Fireworks fill the sky and fishing boats set off their smoky red signal flares as the ferry boats blast their horns and locals dressed in colourful traditional costumes dance through the town – enjoy a taste of the real Greece!

Syros

The hilly island of Syros is found in the northern Cyclades between Kythnos and Mykonos. Its central location makes it the principal administrative centre for the Cyclades and its beautiful capital Ermoupolis is the capital not only of Syros, but of all the Cyclades Islands. Admire the neo-classical buildings and Cycladic style whitewashed houses, which line the hills down to the harbour below.

The town’s main Miaouli square is among the most beautiful in Greece with coffee shops and restaurants sitting amongst palm trees. The Venetian settlement of Ano Syros, dating back to 1200 AD is also well worth a visit. With narrow lanes and a wonderfully medieval atmosphere, the town has been built in the style of an amphitheatre, with houses built on top of each other to form a defensive fortress – a throwback to the days when seaside towns needed protection from hostile enemies. Winding steps take you past houses with coloured doors and up to the 13 century Catholic Cathedral of St. George, perched on the hilltop. Enjoy the panoramic views out across the neighbouring islands of Tinos, Delos, Mykonos and Naxos.
