The Cyclades is a group of Greek islands with beautiful, white sandy beaches, rugged mountains and lush valleys. Glamorous Santorini and Mykonos attract the jetset, while lesser-known isles, such as Milos and Naxos, are the perfect places for beach lovers. Ruins, including the 11th-century Dorian settlement and volcanic ash-preserved Ancient Akrotiri in Santorini, amaze those with a bent for ancient history. Sifnos' cuisine wins it admirers. Hydrofoils, ferries and catamarans connect the islands.

Established since the late 1990s in Mykonos Greece, Minima Gallery showcases a range of contemporary artworks by both upcoming Greek and foreign artists. This includes the work of a small list of sculptors as well as its more comprehensive painting displays. The style of its exhibits range from the highly colourful abstract to stunning examples of landscape photography, meaning that Minima will appeal to a wide range of tastes and interests. There are a number of big names presented here in an exhibition space that is, as the name suggests, minimally decorated so as not to detract from the work.

Carefully chosen traditional items document the life and work of traditional folk art of the past two centuries, showing items from all over Greece but primarily from Naxos. The breadth and presentation of the collection creates an exciting contact with the world of the past, as well as offering the visitor a significant wealth of information and images.

We bought a piece of art from here many years ago, after a house move and re installation of our bronze fishes we managed to break one of the fish tails. Emailed the gallery and within a few days we were able to put up our replacement piece. Alex and his staff were so helpful and kind, could not recommend this gallery more!

The folk tradition is kept alive in Santorini Fira Condohori in cave that was built half a century or so ago. Where today houses the Folklore Museum, worth visiting the traveler. The Folk Museum was founded by Emmanuel A. Hardy, lawyer, journalist and director of the newspaper "New Theraic". The house, which is set, left untouched by the earthquakes of 1956, restored in 1973 and since then placed this antique furniture, family heirlooms, the position does belong. In 1993 the Museum was built wing housing the Gallery and laboratories, and the church of St. Constantine, in memory of the owner of the property Constanti Emm Lignou, uncle of the founder.

In July 1979 the Basil and Elise Goulandris Foundation inaugurated the Museum of Contemporary Art in Hora, capital of Andros and birthplace of Basil P. Goulandris. In the two wings of the Museum a part of the Foundation’s collection is exhibited throughout most of the year. Each summer, since 1986, the Foundation has been organising temporary exhibitions of distinguished 20th-century artists in the Museum of Contemporary Art on Andros. The Basil and Elise Goulandris Foundation has built up a significant art collection of important 20th-century Greek and international artists. This collection comprises the core of the Museum of Contemporary Art on Andros. The increasing attendance of the Athenian public and the inhabitants of Andros led to the Museum’s expansion to a new wing, which was completed in 1986. Moreover, the Foundation has made provisions for the construction, equipment and enrichment of a new Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens.
What a beautiful museum! I LOVED this place! I loved the architecture of the building, I loved the collection of art so carefully chosen; and I loved how it had been curated. Great audioguides (free with entrance ticket), and the best coffee and cake we had during our stay in Athens - don't miss the café! The only criticism would be that the items in the souvenir shop were ridiculously expensive, €70 for the Museum catalogue as an example.
