Their name refers to the islands forming a cycle around the sacred island
of Delos, the mythological birthplace of Apollo
and Artemis and Greece's holy sanctuary in antiquity.
Their common landscape is a symphony of blazing bare rock,
blinding white peasant architecture and countless lacy stretches of the most
beautiful sandy beaches, all of these accentuated by the wonderful Mediterranean
light and set against the deep blue backdrop of the Aegean Sea. Yet each and
every island has its own unique character and offers the visitor exceptional
experiences of every kind, from the volcanic and out-of-this world images of Santorini to
the exquisite local cuisine of Syros and from sunbathing to the fabulous beaches
of Milos to indulging in the notorious nightlife of Mykonos!
