Thanks to the GREEK ISLAND PASS that Hostelbay offers to you, you can have the ultimate island-hopping experience in Cyclades and explore the wonderful villages of these islands.

1. The most beautiful villages in
Cyclades
Cyclades are an amazing complex of islands that are characterised by
their unique character, their wild, dry landscape and their beautiful villages
with whitewashed houses and narrow pebbled streets with lovely local
shops. Thanks to the GREEK ISLAND PASS that Hostelbay offers to you,
you can have the ultimate island-hopping experience in Cyclades and
explore the wonderful villages of these islands. The most of these villages
are called Chora (=land), so don't tangle with that since many capitals of
the islands have the same name.
1. Oia, Santorini
The most beautiful and romantic village of Santorini is Oia. Calmer,
quieter and more elegant than Fira Santorini, Oia is the ideal place to feel
the mystery of caldera, listen to classic music in one of the wonderful cafés
and bars, eat in a luxury restaurant and of course enjoy the sunset with
your other half. The sunset in Oia and generally the romanticism of this
picturesque village have made Oia one of the most popular honeymoon
destinations worldwide.
2. Chora, Mykonos
Whitewashed houses, windmills, narrow cobblestone streets with local
shops, squares with traditional taverns, restaurants and bars,
promenades by the sea and an amazing Cycladic atmosphere make the
Chora of Mykonos one of the most beautiful villages in Cyclades.
The best spots in Mykonos are Windmills (Mykonos), Matoyianni Street
(Mykonos) and Little Venice (Mykonos).

2. 3. Pyrgos. Tinos
Tinos capital is a crowded and not that well preserved town.
However, Tinos has many wonderful and elegant villages that are the
hidden gems of the island. Pyrgos is the largest and maybe the prettiest
village at the north part of the island. It has a long tradition in sculpture.
Don’t forget to visit the museum of sculpture, which is near to the marble
sculpture school that even today has a lot of students of all over Greece.
All restaurants and cafes are located at the square under the big plane
tree.
4. Chora, Folegandros
Folegandros Chora the capital town of the island, is built with whitewashed houses with colourful
windows and bougainvilleas hanging on them that strongly remind of the traditional Cycladic
architecture. The cobblestone streets lead to the village’s squares, where the traveller can eat
in romantic atmosphere local delicacies. On the top of the hill, from where you can have a
magnificent view of Folegandros, is located the impressive church of Panagia with a stone path
leading to it.
5. Chora, Serifos
Chora of Serifos is also located on the top cliff, from where you can have
a breathtaking view of the Aegean Sea and the nearby islands. The central
square is the best spot of Chora, where you can relax, eat, drink and buy
local products from the shop in the wonderful streets around the square.

3. 6. Naousa, Paros
Naousa Paros is the second town of Paros and one of the best-preserved
towns in Cyclades. Despite its cosmopolitan atmosphere and the vivid
nightlife, Naousa Paros has managed to keep its traditional and romantic
character. Whitewashed houses, small churches, labyrinth-like pebbled
streets and the tiny port with colourful fishing boats make the scenery
amazing. Naousa Paros is the centre of the nightlife of the island, and you
will see there many young people partying until the dawn.
7. Ermoupoli, Syros
The capital of Syros, Ermoupolis Syros, is not typically Cycladic, since it
has mainly neoclassical buildings that will remind you of Italy. The
atmosphere and the impressiveness of Ermoupolis Syros is unique and
the greatest asset of the island, which is the capital of Cyclades.
