Marble artistry island where authentic Cycladic culture meets world-class craftsmanship
You'll experience an island where marble artistry meets Mediterranean authenticity, from hands-on workshops using famous Lychnites marble to exploring mountain villages where traditional life continues unchanged.

You'll discover Greece's most authentic marble artistry island, where ancient quarries reveal 2,700 years of sculptural mastery alongside hidden mountain villages like Lefkes that capture true Cycladic life.
