Cyclades: Mykonos, Naxos & Paros

The Cyclades encapsulate the idyllic Greek Aegean image that’s attracted an army of beach-lovers and backpackers for decades. In the ’70s it was the hippies and drop-outs, now island-hopping is almost a rite of passage for the world’s teens and twenty-somethings. Cyclades: Mykonos, Naxos & Paros are something of a ‘must-see’ for wind-seekers too. Every kiter or windsurfer should blast over these azure waters at least once in their lifetime – although most who come here will return again and again. At least outside of high season, the Cyclades mix of Greek authenticity and international jet-set is especially charming.
