Sun-drenched white houses, winding stone streets, and trellis-covered tavernas define the Cycladic islands as a whole, but each has its own proud culture and not-so-subtle distinctions. Orange and black sands coat the shoreline of Santorini, rocky cliffs shape arid Sifnos, and celebrated archaeological sites testify to the mythical and historical legends surrounding Delos. Naxos and Paros offer travelers peaceful mountains and villages, Milos’s coast is spectacularly unusual with its caverns and deeply colored sand, and notorious party spots Ios and Mykonos uncork some of the wildest nightlife on earth. The Little Cyclades are blissfully under-touristed, populated only by locals and a smattering of Greek vacationers. Visitors to any island, however, are sure to encounter large quantities of unadulterated local flavor, surrounded by the ever-present cerulean sea.
