Among all the Greek islands, the Cycladic islands are some of the most picturesque with white buildings and bright-blue church domes, and golden beaches meeting the Greek aquamarine sea. The Cyclades, part of the 30-island strong archipelago in the Aegean, including Mykonos, Santorini, Paros ,Delos, Amorgos and Ios island are internationally touristed, while others such as Andros, Kea, Serifos and Sikinos island, are more favorites of the Greek population.

The islands of Mykonos and Santorini, are probably the most renowned for their nightlife, shopping, restaurants and beaches. Paros, still one of the larger Cyclades islands, is becoming more and more popular as a great alternative to the busier islands of Mykonos and Santorini. On Paros you can still enjoy good sandy beaches and old world traditional fishing villages, which come with reasonably priced hotels and a bustling nightlife. The island’s main port of Parikia has a ruined Venetian castle and an impressive Byzantine church. On the north coast the resort town of Naoussa is nearby the island's best beaches.

From London Luton and Gatwick take Easy Jet to Athens and change for a domestic flight. Domestic flights are mainly with Olympic airlines, Hellas Jet and Aegean airlines. There are airports at Mykonos, Santorini and Paros. You can reach the island of Paros by plane from most international airports via Athens. The flying time from Athens to Paros is about 35 minutes. During summer, many charter flights go to the larger Greek islands.
