General presentation
Cyclades et Santorin
Archipelago of white villages, caldeiras, ferries, dry beaches and very contrasting islands between Santorini, Naxos, Paros and Amorgos.
The discovery of Cyclades and Santorini revolves around Santorini, Naxos and Paros. The stay thus alternates between the island landscapes, the coastline, the heritage and the volcanic landscapes, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 5 to 10 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: very frequented in summer and weather-dependent ferries. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Ios
Ios combines an amphitheatre cycladic village, bright beaches and a festive reputation that does not sum up the whole island. Outside the evening hours, the paths to Homer, the more distant coves and the white chapels reveal a dry, simple and very Aegean landscape.
Town or village
Santorin
Santorin It is built around its caldeira, with volcanic cliffs, white villages suspended, low vines and dark beaches. The island is very frequented, but the contrasts between Fira, Oia, Akrotiri and the interior villages offer much more than a single sunset view.
Town or village
Naxos
Naxos is a large, fertile and varied Cyclade, where Chora, Portara, western beaches and mountain villages make up a balanced stay. The island is as suitable for families as for walkers, with local produce, inner valleys and less tense roads as on the more famous islands.
Town or village
Paros
Paros Combining easy ports, white villages, sandy beaches, wind spots and fast crossing to Antiparos. Between Parikia, Naoussa and Lefkes, the island offers a good compromise between cycling animation, accessible swimming and escapes inside.
