The most picturesque island complex in Greece, lying right in the middle of the Aegean Sea. One of the most important Mediterranean civilizations was born here, the Cycladic, and the lost island of Atlantis may have been located in this region. Calm, crystal clear water, bright sky, sun, and austere architecture on naked rock--the Cyclades are filled with sunlight and space.  The climate is dry and healthy, with mild winters and cool summers, thanks to the beneficial ''meltemia.'' The Cycladic archipelago consists of 39 main islands, of which only 24 are inhabited. The most important of them are: Kea(Tzia), Kithnos, Serifos, Sifnos, Paros-Antiparos, Mykonos, Delos, Milos, Kimolos, Andros, Tinos, Siros, Naxos, Amorgos, Ios, Folegandros, Sikinos, Santorini (Thera), Anafi and Small Cyclades.
