The Cyclades
The Cyclades are the ring of islands at the heart of the Aegean, southeast of Athens: Santorini, Mykonos, Milos, Sifnos and their quieter neighbours. This is where Epicure lives, and where most of our journeys begin.
Epicure Greece draws inspiration from every island on the Aegean, and none more than the Cyclades. White villages, low vineyards, sculpted coasts and a ferry network that turns a holiday into an odyssey: this dynamic scatter of islands is the perfect place to get lost for a few days, and who knows what you might find along the way.
Trips to the Cyclades
We can design the exact Cyclades itinerary you have in mind, or you can simply ask us to surprise you and we will build a journey unlike anything you have imagined. Because we live here, on Santorini, the routes are drawn from experience rather than a map: which harbours reward a full day, which are best at first light, and which table to hold for the last evening.
The islands pair naturally. Mykonos and Milos on one sail, Ios and Santorini on another, Sifnos and Folegandros for travellers who want the Cyclades at their quietest. Many of our guests thread three or four together under sail, letting the wind set the pace between them.
Below are the Cycladic islands we know first-hand, each written from the ground rather than the brochure. Start anywhere; they all lead to each other.
