The Cyclades
February 29, 2008 – 4:21 pmThe Cyclades are located in the Aegean Sea, being a group of Greek islands and also one of the ones that constitutes the Greek Archipelago.
The Cyclades fascinate the guests with their pitoresque landscapes, by a brightly white, in the middle of which there are asymmetrical settlements, narrow streets and many churches.
The Archipelago has 38 islands, each one with a surface no bigger than 400 km, but also a multitude of little islands.
Only 24 islands are populated, most of the little islands being inhabited.
The Cyclades form a separate administrative area, having the capital at Ermoupolis, on Siros Isle. The different islands are separated one of the others by very narrow gorges. The largest one measures no more than 37 km.
There is an anual invasion of European tourists, thirsty of sun, which separates the islands into 2 categories: the rich and the poor ones.
If Mikonos, Ios, Santorini and Paros can`t complain about a lack of interest from the travel lovers, Anafi and Kimolos has left almost wildly.
