The first thing you notice about the Greek Archipelago is the purity of the light as it creates a contrast between the pristine white houses and the intense blue of the Aegean. Of the three thousand Greek Islands that crowd the North Eastern part of the Mediterranean probably the best known is the central group called the Cyclades.
The Cyclades are so named because they form a circle or ‘kiklo’ around the sacred Island of Delos, appropriately home to Apollo, the God of light. Each summer thousands of visitors make the journey to discover traditional rural lifestyles, vibrant town squares and soaring cliff vitas. The small dazzling white beaches are legendary and in late summer the Aegean is ruffled by the cooling Meltemi wind. ‘Island-hopping’ is a way of life for the sun-seeking hordes that often test the meager resources of the smaller islands.
