Three foreign nationals were arrested on Tuesday in connection with the fire that raged in an area of woodland on the Cycladic island of Paros on Monday.

Three Cyclades islands - Sifnos, Serifos, and Folegandros - have been named among Europe's seven most endangered heritage sites for 2024, as announced this week.

For nearly a century, the marble figures that were produced in the Early Bronze Age (ca 3300-2300 BCE) on the Greek islands of the Cyclades have fascinated archaeologists, art historians and collectors; they also had a strong impact on Early Modernism.

For the fifth year in a row, the island of Paros is first in the Cyclades in the number of new building permits, according to data from Greece's statistics agency published a week ago.

From teen partygoers to young families, from gourmet couples to wizened hikers, from stylish art lovers to island hopping students, Paros welcomes all-comers with open arms

Folk musicians perform on the island of Kea. Α program organized by the Municipal Public Benefit Organization of Kea with the support of the Cycladic Identity initiative of the Museum of Cycladic Art focused on recording these and other elderly instrumentalists who continue to propagate folk music traditions.

Year after year, the pressure increases. On the one hand, there is the explosive growth of tourism, followed by an increase in consumption; on the other, there is drought. The small Aegean islands are preparing for the start of the tourist season with their reservoirs empty, their boreholes pumping brackish water, and an increasing dependence on desalination.

There are not enough doctors to treat patients at National Health System (ESY) units on the Greek islands and the situation is set to deteriorate further during the summer with the arrival of tourists. The relatively few medical staff that remain are struggling to keep up and are overworked.
