Folegandros is the southest of western Cyclades. Lies in Aegean Sea, next to Milos and Sikinos. Its history gets lost along the centuries and Folegandros followed during different eras the fate of the rest cycladic islands. It's name was given after Folegandros, Minos son. Ancients used to call it "Sidira" (irony) due to its hard ground. Walking from Karavostasi, the harbour, to Hora, Folegandros unfolds its charm. Hora, the capital of the island, is a small jewel of Aegean Sea, tied up with beautiful churches, wide paved paths, white houses and friendly people.

Santorini, like most of the Cycladic Island, has a rich history. Santorini is plenty of archaeological sites which proves the first man presence on the island back to the Neolithic Period. Santorini history had the same evolution that in the other islands of the Cyclades. An important civilization seems to have existed near Akrotiri, at the south of the island, next to the famous Red beach, dating back to 3600 BC. It was proved that Akrotiri was a Minoan city, like those found in Crete.

Tinos lies very close to the southern tip of Andros. This is the holy island of Our Lady, which in August is swamped by pilgrims who have come to pray in Her church or in fulfilment of a vow. As Our Lady's feast day on 15 August approaches, the church and the town of Tinos become crammed with people, and religious services take place next to the commercial fair being held in the surrounding streets. A line of mountains, whose highest peak is Mt Tsiknias (in the myths, the home of the wind-god Aeolus), runs the length of the island.
The Skiathos village gained immense popularity for being the original setting for the Roman holidays few portions. This quite holiday village becomes a bustling town in the summer due to huge demand of celebrities and visitors. The seemingly simple village has almost all the facilities that one could ask for in the tourist resort these days. The houses on rentals in this area for tourists are mostly studio apartments that are being offered by the owners. The location is an important thing to decide when renting, and although this is small village the rent varies from place to place. The panoramic views from housed on the edge make them more desirable then the ones inside just ten minutes away.
The advance booking of studios can be done, the 50% rent payment is normally asked for such things normally. The price and furnishing in this area is normally very chic, however the historic and old town houses that are being converted are always in more demand, as a result they are priced little higher. One such old house typically contains two to three bedrooms, two attach bath and fully furnished kitchen. The living room is large size then back home; you can call it deluxe size. Most of the studios come with the swimming pools access so you will not have a day without water even if not on the beach.
The fun element of this area is that most of the buildings come with the poolside bar facility, so you might not have to walk too far to quench the thirst. The Greek wines and even the French ones are available in this area at almost fraction of prices, so you will not have to worry about putting the dent on the wallet for keeping the bar running all summer. If you do not mind a little walk there are some good options at the Lalaria, and Villa Miltos too. The first one is close to the beach and has the specious verandas over looking the splintered sea. The Villas are six km away but there is a regular bus service to take you to beach every hour so not much chance to be away from action too long with this too.
