Hydra: a major attraction for the cruising yachtsman. Hydra is one of the most picturesque islands in the Aegean. Its multi-coloured houses, many dating from the days of the 18th century Hydriot sea captains, cover the steep slopes above the harbour. All around the quays are lined with tavernas and handicraft shops. The nightlife is busy.
Serifos-Sifnos: Are two small beautiful islands, both having ruins of Venetian fortresses. Sifnos is a charming place with some truly lovely specimens of island architecture in the harbour of Kamares.
Naxos: The largest island of the Cyclades, famous in mythology as the place where Theseus abandoned Ariadne, after slaying the Minotaur. There are ruins of a Frankish castle, a 6th century BC temple, and the ancient marble quarries, where there is an immense incomplete statue approx. 2.000 years old.
Delos: The tiny and now deserted island was the most sacred in ancient Greece, honoured as the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. Delos was always a centre of religious worship. Great sanctuaries were built, guarded by the famous marble lions, which can be seen still along the Sacred Way. There is a very interesting museum. Ruins –some of the most important remains of ancient Greece- now lie under the golden sun.
Myconos: A dry windsept island, Myconos with its white houses down to the water’s edge and its characteristic windmills, has become one of the darlings of the jet set. All forms of entertainment by night including bars, restaurants, discotheques and tavernas. Myconos is also known for its beautiful sandy beaches.
Tinos: This island is known chiefly because it is an l place of annual pilgrimage, when thousands of Greeks flock there on August 15th to worship the miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary. The icon was discovered on the island in 1822, and a great church has been built to house it. The island has some very fine unspoiled beaches and there are mountain villages with picturesque houses, excellent examples of the island’s singular architecture.
