The Cyclades Islands, with their iconic white-washed buildings and blue-domed churches, are the picture-perfect Greek islands many travellers dream of visiting. Santorini and Mykonos might be the most famous, but the archipelago consists of around 220 islands, each with its own character. Visitors can explore ancient ruins like the UNESCO World Heritage site of Delos, birthplace of Apollo, or relax on stunning beaches with crystal-clear waters. The islands host various cultural festivals throughout the year, including the Syros International Film Festival in July and numerous religious celebrations honouring local patron saints. Getting around the Cyclades is easy with an extensive ferry network connecting the islands to each other and to mainland Greece, mainly through Athens' port of Piraeus. Ferries also link the Cyclades to other Greek island groups and to Turkey, making island-hopping a popular way to travel.
