After a two-year hiatus imposed by pandemic restrictions, digging activities by archaeologists, researchers and students from Greek and foreign universities are now resuming on the Cycladic islands. Excavations are being picked up again on islands like Kythnos, Antiparos, Sifnos, Mykonos, Delos, and Ios, as well as on small uninhabited islands near Kimolos and Milos.

“This year we will have fully developed excavations after a break of two years,” the head of the Ephorate of Antiquities of the Cyclades, Dimitris Athanasoulis, has said, expressing optimism that “extremely important finds are expected.”

Archeologists are also returning to continue work on the Dodecanese island of Astypalaia, and at Epidaurus.
