The small sugar houses, the villages with the paved paths, the windmills and the blue-domes churches of the Cyclades islands are probably the most characteristic spots of the country.

In fact, the special architectural beauty and the exotic beaches of the Cyclades make this island group the most popular among all island groups in Greece. Santorini, Mykonos, Paros, Ios, Amorgos and Folegandros are among the islands with the most characteristic Cycladic architecture.
