1. Admire the Sunset in Oia (Santorini) 

The sunset in Oia is perhaps the most famous in the world. Every evening, hundreds of people gather on the white rooftops and narrow alleys to witness the spectacular colors over the caldera. Want to avoid the crowds? Book a boat tour and watch the sunset from the water.

2. Explore the Old Town and Windmills of Mykonos 

Mykonos is known for its vibrant nightlife, but its old town is just as impressive. Wander through the narrow streets of Chora, visit the iconic windmills, and sip a cocktail in Little Venice, where the houses sit right on the water.

3. Go Island Hopping in the Cyclades 

One of the biggest advantages of the Cyclades is how easy it is to travel between the islands. Take a ferry and visit different islands such as Naxos, Paros, Milos, and Ios to experience a mix of beaches, culture, and nature.

4. Visit the Sacred Island of Delos 

A short boat trip from Mykonos takes you to Delos, one of Greece’s most important archaeological sites. According to mythology, it is the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. Walk among the ruins of ancient temples, mosaic floors, and the famous Terrace of the Lions.

5. Relax on the Most Beautiful Beaches of the Cyclades 

From Golden Beach (Paros) to Sarakíniko (Milos) and Agios Prokopios (Naxos), the beaches of the Cyclades are among the most beautiful in Greece. Choose a secluded bay for peace and quiet or a lively beach with bars, depending on your mood.

6. Taste the Local Gastronomy 

Greek cuisine is delicious, and the Cyclades have their own specialties. Try louza (cured pork from Mykonos), kopanisti (spicy cheese), fava (yellow split pea puree from Santorini), and fresh seafood. Don’t forget to enjoy a glass of Assyrtiko wine from Santorini!

7. Take a Boat Tour Around Milos and Discover Hidden Caves 

Milos is known for its unique rock formations and hidden beaches that are only accessible by boat. Book an excursion and sail past Kleftiko, an old pirate bay with crystal-clear waters and impressive white cliffs.

8. Hike to the Top of Mount Zas on Naxos 

Naxos is the largest and greenest island in the Cyclades. For adventurers, hiking Mount Zas, the highest peak in the Cyclades, is a must. According to legend, Zeus grew up here, and from the summit, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the Aegean Sea.

9. Explore the Traditional Villages of Paros and Tinos 

Beyond the well-known hotspots, the Cyclades also have quiet, authentic villages. Visit Lefkes (Paros) with its narrow alleys and marble squares, or discover Pyrgos (Tinos), a village famous for its marble artwork and local crafts.

10. Experience the Nightlife in Ios or Mykonos 

For party lovers, Ios and Mykonos are the best islands. Mykonos offers luxurious beach clubs and exclusive bars, while Ios has a younger, more relaxed party vibe with affordable cocktails and lively nightclubs.
