According to ancient Greek mythology, Cyclades were nymphs, daughters of Oceanus and Tethys who provoked the rage of Poseidon. In revenge, Poseidon, the “God of the Sea” turned them into islands.

The Cyclades islands form a circle (hence the name) around the sacred island of Delos. As the mythical birthplace of Aphrodite, Delos attracts millions of Greek and foreign visitors all year round. Furthermore, Mykonos, Naxos, and Ios astonish the visitors with their dreamy Cycladic architecture all in white and blue, turquoise waters, spectacular beaches and majestic light. These islands are considered the gems of the Cyclades. Consequently, they make the perfect travel photography destinations.
