According to some estimates, there are around 6,000 islands and islets in Greece. Quite obviously, you can’t visit them all during your summer vacation, so you have to make some tough choices and make a proper travel plan. In order to help you out, we’ve decided to make a list of what we feel are the best islands in the Greek Cyclades. Go through the entries, check out some of their most interesting characteristics, and make your plans. Keep in mind that they’re all beautiful in their own way and, when it comes to Greece, you really can’t go wrong.
Romantic Santorini
We’ll start things off with one of the most famous islands in the Greek Cyclades – Santorini. This volcanic island is known around the world as the ultimate romantic destination with beautiful irresistible sunsets. The island was once the location of the biggest volcano eruption in the world, which created some amazing scenery. You have to visit Kamari and Perissa beaches that are known for its black sand, as well as the famous Red Beach. It’s truly a sight to admire.
Koufonisia’s Duality
If you like to keep your options open and experience dual beauty of the Greek Cyclades, visit Koufonisia. This is a complex of two islands that are both beautiful but quite different. Pano Koufonissi is created with tourists in mind and has numerous facilities that will make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. On the other hand, Kato Koufonissi is uninhabited and gives you a much more innate experience. It’s up to you to choose which one you’d like.
Relaxing Milos
You’ve probably heard about Milos thanks to the discovery of the famous ancient Greek sculpture of Aphrodite. When it comes to the experience on the island, most people find their stay there quite relaxing. Even during the season, this beautiful island remains an oasis of peace and tranquility for many tourists. You have to visit the breathtaking Sarakiniko beach that many consider to be a hidden paradise, along with the entire southern region dubbed Sea Meteora. Milos is undoubtedly one of the most relaxing islands in the Greek Cyclades.
Wild Beauty of Folegandros
Those of you who wish to admire Greece’s natural beauty should opt for Folegandros. With only 756 inhabitants and three villages, this island is great for experiencing the untouched wilderness of the Aegean sea. Similarly to Milos, Folegandros offers serenity and relaxation at its finest. Almost all of its beaches are secluded, so you can clear up your mind and just enjoy yourself. If you get tired of isolation, you can always pop up to those three villages and experience a simpler way of life. It might even make you question your own life’s choices.
Liberating Mykonos
Of course, if you’re looking for a unique, mind-blowing holiday experience, Mykonos is your best choice. This island in the Greek Cyclades became famous for being open to the gay communities and a safe haven for various celebrities. Nowadays, Mykonos is a synonym for some good, uninhibited fun and overall friendly atmosphere. Besides admiring the natural beauty, you have to experience the amazing nightlife out there.
Greek Cyclades – Porta Bar Mykonos
If you’re looking for a good nightclub that will help you experience a proper Mykonos nightlife atmosphere, visit Porta Bar. This gay-friendly club will immediately make you feel welcome and help you create memories you will cherish for the rest of your life.
