Cyclades
Greek island ring
The Cyclades are a Greek island group in the Aegean Sea, arranged roughly in a circle around the sacred island of Delos.
The group includes tourist destinations like Santorini and Mykonos.
The name comes from the Greek word for circle.
We island-hopped through the Cyclades last summer.
