The Cyclades group of Islands are so named because they form a circle around Delos, the most ancient and revered of the group. In the heart of the Aegean sea these islands offer whitewashed stone buildings, deepest blue azure waters and divine sandy beaches. You will split your time between two islands; three nights in Mykonos then followed by three nights in Santorini. Cosmopolitan Mykonos offers a varied selection of bars, restaurants and fantastic little boutiques all hidden amongst its labyrinth alleyways in its main town of Hora; punctuated by the picturesque 16th century windmills. After moving on to Santorini you will discover this stunning island built upon an underwater caldera remaining from the catastrophic volcanic explosion in 16th Century BC. The two main towns cling to the precipice and afford breath-taking views. Santorini also boasts some of the best food in the Aegean mixing traditional recipes with modern ingredients with prime produce due to the superior nutrient rich soil. This is a stunning combination of two of Greece’s most iconic islands and will leave you eager to return.
