You will find on each of these little gems simplicity, sunshine, great beaches, and pretty walks. Just pack a couple of bathing suits, one pair of comfy walking shoes, a pile of books, and plenty of sun block, and come visit the "Lesser" Cyclades. Of the four islands, Irakleia is growing the fastest with regard to tourist infrastructure. This is interesting, as it was the least populated and most primitive, with only about 120 inhabitants.

The island is a delight for walkers, as its entire size is only 19 square kilometers (7.33 sq. miles)! Since the island is a bit short on public transport, you will walk just about everywhere. The island has some ruins of an old castle, a walk of about 15 minutes from the port, plus a cave in the southwest, accessible from the main town.

Peace, quiet, and pristine beauty await visitors to this tiny, sweet Irakleia island paradise.
