Best Beaches

The Cyclades archipelago offers a diverse range of coastal environments, from the white volcanic rock formations of Sarakiniko on Milos to the iconic black and red sands of Santorini. Mykonos provides sheltered bays like Panormos and wind-swept shores such as Kalafati, favored for windsurfing. Naxos features the cedar-lined dunes of Aliko, while Sifnos offers the calm, shallow waters of Vathy. These beaches showcase the unique geological history and varying wind conditions characteristic of the Aegean Sea.
