Another place that I would have loved to visit while Greece is the Cyclades - a group of Greek islands in the Aegean Sea. After some research I found out that they are the most beautiful Mediterranean islands and part of its beauty comes from the coexistence of white and blue in the Cycladic architecture, the traditional way of life, the island songs, the warm hospitality, the stark landscape embroidered with deserted country churches, the stunning coasts, and the beautiful beaches.
The name means ‘the islands' refers to the circle the islands form around the sacred island of Delos. According to Greek mythology, the Cyclades were created by the God Poseidon, who turned the Cyclades nymphs into islands after the nymphs had provoked the god’s wrath.
An interesting fact that I learned was that the Cyclades is where the native Greek breed of cats first came from. I found this to be considerably interesting since I had no idea Greece had its own breed of cats!
