Greece’s Cyclades Islands are a traveler’s dream - a collection of sugar-cube villages, sapphire waters, and slow, golden days. Each island has its own rhythm: Santorini, with its cliffside sunsets; Mykonos, with its cosmopolitan energy; and Paros and Naxos, with hidden beaches and authentic village life. And then there’s Crete, not technically part of the Cyclades, but a diverse and rich island you can and should add to your Greece island-hopping itinerary.
