Cyclades is a a greek island group, composed of more than 220 islands (a lot of them are not unihibited due to their small size). The major islands are Amorgos, Andros, Melos, Mykonos, Naxos, Paros, Santorini, Syros and Tinos. The islands are peaks of a submerged mountainous terrain, with the exception of two volcanic islands, Milos and Santorini. The climate is generally dry and mild.
What characterises the famous Greek coasts is their unique diversity (beaches stretching over many kilometres, small bays and coves, sandy beaches with dunes, pebbly shores, coastal caves surrounded by steep rocks and with the characteristic dark sand of volcanic soils, coastal wetlands), and their clean and transparent waters that have made them renowned and extremely popular all over the world.
