WHY WE ♡ IT

 Timeless scenery – suntanned islands surrounded by cobalt water, white-washed buildings adorned with vibrant bougainvillea: the Cyclades are a kaleidoscope of colours, straight from a paintbox, with a dazzling new view around every hairpin bend

 

 Living monuments – thousands of years of continuous civilisation have left their mark, with ancient temples and ruins aplenty. Step ashore on any of the Cyclades islands and it’s easy to imagine yourself transported back in time.

 

 Fresh, local flavours – escape the midday heat in the best of Greek traditions: lunch in a beachside taverna. Feast on sun-ripened tomatoes and olives, locally produced feta and retsina, smoky, grilled seafood that was pulled from the ocean only a few hours earlier.
