Irakleia Kykladon

Donoussa, Schinoussa and Iraklia are three unknown Aegean islands that hide incredible beauty. All three belong to the complex of Small Cyclades and the administrative jurisdiction of the Municipality of Naxos. They are small islands with few residents; an ideal destination for those who want to enjoy nature, the sea and the Aegean sun in a calm atmosphere. The mild tourist development of recent years has not affected the traditional aspect of the islands and their genuine Cycladic beauty. Your unforgettable journey will be accompanied by good food, traditional festivals of the islands and the warm hospitality of the locals.

Iraklia and Schinoussa are located in the region between Naxos and Ios and they are very close to each other. The rocky landscape with small villages and excellent beaches is ideal for diving. Donousa, the most isolated island of the Small Cyclades, is located east of Naxos. It is an Island of charming beauty and tranquility. Here you can enjoy diving in the waters of the small bays and relaxing under the shade of the cedar trees.
