The beautiful Cyclades |
||
This is the central
group of islands in the Aegean, so
called because they surround the rocky Delos,
(cyclo means ring inGreek), the ancient trade, political
and religious centre of the world. The Cyclades are
considered by most to be the typical part of Greece, with
its charming white washed houses and windmills, its
beautiful sunny beaches, the ancient ruins, small
tavernas with good food and wine are found everywhere. As a contrast to these islands, you
will enjoy the simpler but no less important pleasures of
the other islands, such as Kea, Sikinos, Kithnos,
Serifos, Sifnos, Milos, Amorgos and Andros etc. The prevailing wind in the summer is
the Meltemi blowing from the North, it begins to blow in
June, blows strongest in July/August and subsides from
the middle of September. In the South West islands it is less strong. During spring and autumn, you may be faced with winds coming from the South. In general, the sailing conditions are much more demanding that in other areas of Greece, therefore we advise the Cyclades route be taken for a minimum of at least two weeks holiday. |
