The Cyclades include the islands of Santorini, Mykonos, Siros, and Paros. Here you’ll want to throw your diet to the wind and eat with abandon: The cuisine of the islands highlights fresh ingredients straight from the land and sea. Cycladic architecture is clean and individual; the islands’ signature whitewashed stucco can be almost blinding in the brilliant sunshine and offers stunning contrast to the blue skies and even bluer water. You’ll also see windmills, waterfront mansions, and lush orchards. The beaches and the nightlife, however, are by far the islands’ most notorious assets. Indulge in pleasures such as sunsets on the water, endless dinners, music, and dancing into the wee hours.

The Dodecanes offer an unparalleled range of landscapes: some are dry, stark and barren such as Chalki and Kasos, while Tilos and volcanic Nisyros are fertile and green. Astypalia and Patmos feature typical white washed houses. Rhodes, the capital of the island group, is the most popular destination due to its endless sandy beaches. Kasos is one of the most remote and least visited of the Greek Islands. It is barren but striking, with steep cliffs, caves, gulches, small coves, and few beaches.Classical temples built by the Dorians can be seen on Rhodes, while Ottoman architecture is prominent on Kos. Other interesting historical sites include the 11th century monastery of St. John on Patmos, the Hellenistic Asklepieon on Kos, the medieval walled city of the Kinghts of Rhodes, and the unique traditional village of Olympos on Karapthos.
