Geography and Geomorphology - The Aegean Islands
The geographers and the geologists have divided the Aegean Sea in three parts following the morphology of the coasts, the position of the islands and the formation of the seabed. North, Central and South Aegean.
Rhodes - The Aegean Islands
The island of only 9 sq. km is a sea junction between Europe and Asia, on the edge of the Aegean. One and only, wonderful settlement, which impresses with its colorful houses of excellent architecture and its churches, is built upon the arid rock.
Anafi - The Aegean Islands
Anafi is a well hidden secret in the southernmost edges of the Cyclades, 12 n.m. from renowned Santorini. Its geographical position and its difficult, up to now, coastal access, did not allow the island to develop touristically as other islands of the Aegean did.
Cultural - The Aegean Islands
Everywhere the natural beauty of the islands is adorned with temples, castles, fortresses, sacred ruins, monasteries, churches built on old pagan sites and villages where families have lived and loved for generations.

Ermoupoli - The Aegean Islands
A lively state sparkles under the Aegean sun. The past, the present and the future seem to coexist harmoniously in the marble-paved streets with the imposing mansions. Ermoupoli was created by refugees who came from Izmir, Chios, Psara, Kasos and Crete in the 1820s.
Kastellorizo - The Aegean Islands
The island of only 9 sq. km is a sea junction between Europe and Asia, on the edge of the Aegean. One and only, wonderful settlement, which impresses with its colorful houses of excellent architecture and its churches, is built upon the arid rock.
Fauna - The Aegean Islands
The reptile fauna of the Aegean is characterized by great wealth and diversity and this is mainly because of the hot climate and the big variety of the biotopes that the Greek islands have. The islands of South Aegean constitute the spreading border of certain species.
Festivals and customs - The Aegean Islands
Many of the traditions and customs of Mykonos have been preserved to this day, despite the massive tourism development of the island. Festivals are a way of life on the island and all the visitors are invited to eat and have fun.
