Ferries to Cyclades All the ferry companies on Mr Ferry!

The Cyclades Islands, from the Greek "Cyclos", are so named because of the circle they form in the Aegean Sea. They are an archipelago between mainland Greece, Crete and Turkey and consist of about 220 larger islands and islets. 

About 20 of them are the main islands, which offer charming villages, beautiful sandy beaches, emerald green waters and breathtaking views. The typical white houses with blue doors and windows, the local fauna and flora, the gastronomy and the rich Greek culture enchant and attract thousands of tourists every year.
