Discover the hidden side of the Cyclades<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While Millennials are still hunting for sunbeds on the overcrowded, always sold-out beaches of the eastern Cyclades, the cooler Gen Z crowd \u2014 and the Millennials who know better \u2014 are heading west for a more authentic Greek island experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The journey starts from Lavrio, Athens\u2019 rising port hub and the new gateway to the Aegean.<\/p>\n\n\n

Hop onboard the Cat I by Magic Sea Ferries and travel exactly the way island hopping should feel: fast, easy and comfortable. Bring your friends, your pets, even your car \u2014 everyone\u2019s welcome. Grab a coffee from Everest, connect to the free onboard wi-fi and enjoy the ride from the very first minute. What more could you ask for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First stop: Kythnos<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kythnos is the closest hidden gem of the western Cyclades. In just 1 hour and 10 minutes, you arrive at an island filled with stunning beaches, both organized and untouched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kolona Beach is the island\u2019s iconic hotspot, while Loutra offers something truly unique: natural thermal springs for the ultimate wellness and relaxation experience.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Wander through the charming villages of Chora and Dryopida, discover Byzantine monuments and tiny secluded chapels, or explore the island\u2019s hiking trails. And of course, food lovers are in for a treat: fresh seafood, local sausages, traditional \u201cpittara\u201d, rusks, honey, cheese and local wine are all part of the Kythnos experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming next: Serifos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The moment you arrive in Chora, you instantly get the Serifos vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once famous for its mining history, Serifos is now known for its breathtaking beaches like Livadakia, Kalo Ampeli, Malliadiko, Sikamia and Platis Gialos.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

But the island\u2019s beauty goes beyond the coastline. Explore picturesque villages like Koutalas, Megalo Livadi and Kentarchos for a taste of authentic Cycladic life. And before you leave? You have to try the local chickpea stew, louza and traditional island cheeses. Trust us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All-time classic: Sifnos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Beautiful beaches, timeless Cycladic architecture, incredible food, cosmopolitan energy and complete serenity \u2014 Sifnos truly has it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its capital, Apollonia, with its narrow stone-paved alleys, is reason enough to visit. If you\u2019re into beach life with a more social vibe, head to Vathi or Faros for beach bars, watersports and laid-back island energy.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Gvg<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

As for food, Sifnos is legendary. Don\u2019t miss the traditional slow-cooked chickpea stew and the famous mastelo \u2014 lamb cooked in a clay pot over vine branches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least: Kimolos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the newest destinations added to the Magic Sea Ferries routes \u2014 and already climbing every traveler\u2019s bucket list \u2014 is Kimolos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The island\u2019s main village, simply called Chorio, blends classic Cycladic white houses with medieval architecture and old castle walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kimolos stands out for its silver-colored rocks, volcanic landscapes, white sandy beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swim at Prassa Beach with its powdery white sand, discover Monastiria Beach and, if you have the time, take a boat trip to the magical Polyaigos island. Fun fact: this untouched paradise is home to the Mediterranean monk seal, monachus monachus, and only two permanent residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And naturally, don\u2019t leave without trying the island\u2019s homemade pies and traditional baked specialties.<\/p>\n\n\n
