Island Hopping Through the Cyclades: Explore Greece, Island by Island

Before you start hopping from island to island, a stopover in Athens is absolutely worth it. Wander among ancient columns on the Acropolis, get lost in the charming streets of Plaka, or take the cable car up to the top of Mount Lycabettus. At the summit, you'll be rewarded with a view that’s perfect for a snapshot, or better yet, one you can relive later from your holiday home with panoramic views on Paros. A touch of culture to kick things off, followed by sun, sea, and relaxation? Sounds like the perfect combination.

Paros is much more than just a jumping-off point. It’s the kind of place where you’ll effortlessly want to stay a little longer. Stroll through picturesque Naoussa, wander the marble-paved streets of Lefkes, or snorkel among the rock formations at Kolymbithres Beach. How about a wine tasting in the island’s interior? If you're staying in a holiday home with a private pool or a holiday home with air conditioning, you'll have the perfect spot to unwind after every adventure.

About a 40-minute boat ride away lies Mykonos: the island where boutiques, beach clubs, and celebrities come together. Stroll through the iconic neighbourhood of Little Venice, enjoy a cocktail at sunset, or visit the windmills overlooking the town. Perfect for a day trip, and even better when you can return afterward to your peaceful holiday home close to the beach, far from the party crowds.

For those seeking nature and traditional charm, Naxos is a top choice. Climb the ruins of the ancient Demeter sanctuary, wander along olive groves, or explore mountain villages like Halki. The island feels rugged and authentic. The ferry ride takes only about half an hour, perfect for a day in nature, with the comforting thought that you can unwind in the evening at your holiday home with sea views on Paros.

Santorini is exactly what you imagine: photogenic, romantic, and a bit bustling. Admire the sunset in Oia, take in the white houses with blue domes, and taste local wine beneath the volcanic cliffs. Once you’ve visited the island, you’ll understand why everyone falls so in love with it. Of course, you’ll find true relaxation back at your holiday home on Paros, with your feet in the pool and a view of the sea.
