About this place

Paros brings golden beaches and nightlife in careful doses; Naxos, the greenest of the Cyclades, has a west coast that is essentially one long sandy beach; and Milos finishes the trip with volcanic drama — the white moonscape of Sarakiniko and seventy-odd beaches in every colour rock comes in. Ferries run daily in season and the legs are short. June or September, always.
