History
The Cyclades is an archipelago in the Aegean Sea, southeast of the Greek mainland and a former administrative prefecture of Greece. The archipelago is one of Greece's island groups which constitute the Aegean archipelago. One of the group's constituent islands Delos is significant and was sacred to Ancient Greek religion, thus the islands surrounding it take after it.
