- Milos -

Milos, lies in the South West part of the Cyclades islands, and is almost entirely a volcanic island.
It is about 86 nautical miles from Piraeus approximately half way between Piraeus and Crete. It has an area of 151 sq. km. and a shoreline of 125 km, with a population of 5.500 among eight small villages. . Most people Know Milos as the place where the statue of Venus (now in the Louvre Museum in Paris), was discovered.

Its most characteristic feature is its magnificent gulf, providing a natural harbour, which is possibly the largest in the Mediterranean. This, in combination, with the islands vast mineral wealth, has played and is still playing, a major role in the history, economy, culture and development of the island society throughout the last 7,000 years.

It is only recently that tourism has noticed the multitude of beautiful beaches - more than 75 - with their glistening silver sand and clear blue waters of this Cycladic island, its rocks and clear waters.
The colours and morphology of the geological phenomena... the coastlines, the gulfs, the cliffs, the gorges, the hills...
are unique and it would be difficult to tire of gazing at them.
Most of the inhabitants live in the 8 villages, which are in the flat, northern part of the island.
These are the capital Plaka, Plakes, Triovassalos, Pera Triovassalos, Tripiti, Pollonia, Zefiria, and Adamas.

The island is reached on the ferries which run on the Piraeus- Kythnos- Serifos- Sifnos - Milos - Kimolos line, and there are also sailings to other islands in the Cyclades

Sifnos island, white traditional small houses come together with picturesque churches (over 200) into amazing alleys ! 57 towers of the Hellenistic period , the monastery of Profitis Ilias , extraordinary beaches and an unaltered protected natural environment compose the scenic who gave birth and inspiration to many famous artists and poets!

Sifnos is one of the easier Greek islands to get around with or without a car. Roads are generally good.
The conveniently frequent and reliable bus system goes most places the visitor would want,
and taxis are easily available with affordable fixed rates between towns.

Sifnos is small enough so that walking will often get you where you want to go, provided you can handle the hills,
though in summer you should take water and avoid the heat of the day, since as in most Cycladic islands there is little shade.

Daily or almost daily fast boats and steamship ferries connect Sifnos with Piraeus during high season

Serifos is an island in the Cyclades in Greece.The main port of Livadhi has most accommodation and other services and is where most visitors stay.

Hora, (sometimes called Pano Hora,) the old island capital, Serifos is a small island where tourism is just beginning to really develop. Its main attractions are some excellent beaches, and an unspoiled whitewashed cubistic traditional Cycladic Hora (main town). Smaller villages are scattered around the rest of the island.

Serifos is quite easy to get to by boat: most of the fast hydrofoils and catamarans, as well as the slower, larger steamships, that make the Western Cyclades run from Piraeus down to Sifnos and Milos stop at Serifos on the way.

- Kythnos -

KythnosKythnos or Kithnos is a Greek island and municipality in the Western Cyclades between Kea and Serifos.
It is 56 nautical miles (104 km) from the harbor of Piraeus. Kythnos is 100 km2 (39 sq mi) in area and has a coastline of about 100 km.
It has more than 70 beaches, many of which are still inaccessible by road. Of particular note is the crescent-shaped isthmus of fine sand at Kolona, where sunbathers may relax with the sea lapping at both sides of the beach.

The island has two significant settlements, the village of Messaria or Kythnos (pop. 676 in 2001 census), known locally as Hora, and the village of Dryopis or Dryopida Dryopida (pop. 517), also known as Horio. Both villages are notable for their winding and often stepped streets, too narrow for vehicular traffic. The villages are very picturesque but in different architectural styles.
Hora has the more-typical flat roofs of the Cyclades, while Driopida's rooftops are slanted and tiled and also notable for its large Greek Orthodox Church.

Due to its proximity to Athens, Kythnos has become a fashionable setting for vacation homes, in addition to being an accessible destination for foreign visitors.
Besides its numerous beaches and picturesque villages, it also is the site of one of the largest caves in Greece

The island is reached on the ferries which run on the Piraeus- Kythnos- Serifos- Sifnos - Milos - Kimolos line, and there are also sailings to other islands in the Cyclades

- Kea -

Kea, also known as Gia or Tzia, Zea, and, in Antiquity, Keos, is an island of the Cyclades archipelago, in the Aegean Sea, in Greece. Its capital, Ioulis, is inland at a high altitude (like most ancient Cycladic settlements, for the fear of pirates) and is considered quite picturesque.

Other major villages of Kea are Korissia (the port) and Vourkari (a fishing village). After suffering depopulation for many decades, Kea has been recently rediscovered by Athens as a convenient destination for weekends and yachting trips.

It is the island of the Cyclades complex that is closest to Attica (about 1 hour by ferry from Lavrio)
and is also 20 km from Cape Sounio as well as 60 km SE of Athens. Its climate is arid and its terrain is hilly.
Kea is 19 km long from north to south and 9 km wide from west to east.
