Experience the beauty of the Cyclades with Greece and Mediterranean Travel Centre

Friday, 11 Jul, 2008 0

The Cyclades (correctly pronounced Kikladies not Syclades) are the most popular Greek Island destinations for Aussie visitors to Greece. 

Most people who know Greece will recognise Santorini, Mykonos Ios, Paros, Naxos and Syros as islands included in the GMTC island hopping flexi pass. What makes the Cyclades so popular?

They are all in the centre of the Aegean Sea, very close together and each island has its own unique scenic highlights, history, culture and character.

Santorini is the spectacular remnant of a volcano which erupted 3,400 years ago dominated by the steep cliff of its caldera topped with whitewashed hotels and homes, Santorini is an archaeological treasure house of Minoan civilization. [the famous Dome is pictured below]

Mykonos is the popular party island with excellent beaches and a lively summer night life.

Paros is a popular traditional Greek island. Naxos, the largest of the Cycladic islands has the Temple of Apollo a famous Venetian  monument and magnificent produce from its fertile farms. Ios is a hit with younger travelers who are attracted to its non stop night clubs, bars and restaurants along with its charming cobbled streets and traditional Greek homes and churches.

Greece and Mediterranean Travel Centre has a range of accommodation options on all these islands.

They are all included in the Island Hopping programs and most are includes as port stops in a wide range of cruises.
