(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The Cyclades are comprised of around 220 islands, with the major ones being Amorgos, Anafi, Ándros, Antiparos, Delos, Ios, Kéa, Kimolos, Kithnos, Mílos, Mykonos, Náxos, Páros, Pholegandros, Serifos, Sifnos, Sikinos, Síros, Tínos and Santorini (Thira). Ermoupolis, on Síros, is the chief town and administrative center of the group.
The terrain of the islands is largely mountainous, and the climate is generally dry and mild. Agricultural produce includes wine, fruit, wheat, olive oil, and tobacco.
In recent decades the Cyclade islands have become extremely popular with European and other tourists, and as a result there have been problems with erosion, pollution, and water shortages.
